This document is an assembly and instruction manual for an Outsunny canopy tent, model number 84C-251, identified by the internal reference INbra002_US. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and taking down the tent, along with important safety warnings and contact information for customer service in various regions.

Function Description

The Outsunny 84C-251 is a portable canopy tent designed for outdoor use, providing shade and shelter. It features a collapsible frame for easy transport and storage. The tent is intended for temporary use and requires a minimum of three people for assembly. It is crucial to take appropriate actions during adverse weather conditions like heavy rain, wind, or snow to prevent damage. In snowy conditions, the manual specifically warns against allowing snow thickness on the roof to exceed 5cm, emphasizing the need for prompt clearing for safety.

Important Technical Specifications

While the manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as dimensions, weight capacity, or material types, the visual representation and assembly instructions imply certain characteristics:

Frame Structure: The canopy utilizes a scissor-style, accordion-fold frame, common in pop-up tents, which allows for compact storage and relatively quick setup. The frame appears to be made of metal, likely steel or aluminum, given the need for multiple people to handle it and the presence of a "red button" mechanism for height adjustment.
Canopy Material: The canopy top is a fabric material, designed to be placed over the frame and secured with Velcro loops. The material is expected to be weather-resistant to provide protection from sun and light precipitation, though warnings about heavy rain and snow suggest limitations.
Assembly Requirement: A key specification is the requirement for a 3-person assembly, indicating the size and potential weight or complexity of the frame.
Height Adjustment: The tent features adjustable legs, allowing users to raise or lower the canopy height by pressing a red button on each leg.
Anchoring System: The canopy is designed to be secured to the ground using ropes and stakes, which are included in the parts list. Plastic rings on the awning facilitate rope attachment, and plastic adjusters on the ropes allow for proper tensioning.

Usage Features

The manual outlines the following usage features:

Easy Setup (with assistance): The initial setup involves two people lifting and partially pulling the diagonal ends of the frame apart (Step 1). The large canopy top is then unfolded and placed over the open frame, with its four corners attached to the top corners of the leg tubes (Step 2).
Central Hub Locking Mechanism: A crucial step in setting up involves pushing the central hub straight up until it clicks into the central pole, indicating the frame is fully extended and locked (Step 3). Additional Velcro loops secure the canopy to the frame.
Adjustable Height: Users can adjust the canopy's height by pressing a red button on each leg and raising or lowering the frame (Step 4).
Ground Anchoring: The tent must be anchored to the ground using ropes and stakes for stability. Ropes attach to plastic rings on the awning, and their tension can be adjusted using plastic adjusters (Step 5). This feature is critical for preventing the tent from being lifted or damaged by wind.

Maintenance Features

The manual includes instructions for disassembling and storing the tent, which can be considered maintenance-related features:

Disassembly Process:
- Release Anchoring: The first step after each use is to release the ropes from the plastic rings and pull up all stakes from the ground (After Each Use, Step 1).
- Retract Legs: The legs are retracted to their original height by pressing the red button on each leg (After Each Use, Step 2).
- Unlock Central Hub: The central bottom hub is rotated counterclockwise from underneath the canopy to unlock the frame (After Each Use, Step 3).
- Collapse Frame: One corner of the frame is lifted until all legs are off the ground except for one on the opposite corner. The frame is then pushed inward until it is fully closed (After Each Use, Step 4).
Storage: The closed canopy frame is designed to be stored in a wheeled storage bag. The manual instructs users to slide the bag over the closed frame, with the canopy feet facing the rollers, and then close the zipper (After Each Use, Step 5). This wheeled bag facilitates transport and protects the tent during storage.
Weather Precautions: The warnings on page 2 are also critical for maintenance, as they advise disassembling and storing the tent during heavy rain, wind, or when snow thickness exceeds 5cm. Adhering to these precautions prevents damage and extends the lifespan of the tent.

Part 1: Canopy top (1 unit)
Part 2: Frame (1 unit)
