SAFETY WARNING -

DOs AND DO NOTs

EVERYONE WHO USES THIS TENT SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE, ASSEMBLY, CARE, MAINTENANCE,

AND STORAGE. KEEP THIS MANUAL SO YOU CAN REFER TO IT LATER.

CARBON MONOXIDE GAS WILL KILL YOU

Stoves, heaters, grills, lantern, candles, and other fuel-burning devices that burn propane, natural gas, charcoal, kerosene, coal, or other fuels

produce a toxic gas called carbon monoxide. Because carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless, and colorless, a dangerous level of carbon

monoxide gas can accumulate in a tent which cannot be detected by sight, smell, or taste. For these reasons:

• DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment, or other fuel-burning devices inside or near a tent.

• DO NOT build fires inside or near a tent.

• DO NOT leave campfires unattended.

Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to you or others.

• DO NOT leave children unattended inside a tent or in camp.

• DO NOT allow children to assemble a tent.

• DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a tent except through the door.

• DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up tent on hot days.

Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to your children.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN

This tent is made with flame resistant fabric which meets CPAI-84 specification. IT IS NOT FIREPROOF. The fabric will burn if left in continuous

contact with any flame source. The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

Your failure to follow this warning could cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to you or others.

FLAMMABILITY WARNING KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC

1. Do not pitch tent near open fire.

2. Do not leave campfire unattended.

3. Do not leave children unattended inside a tent.

4. Do not use heating, lighting or cooking equipment with open flames in or near tents.

5. Do not use other than recommended water repellent compounds on your tent.

6. Do not spray the tent with insecticide.

7. Do not store tent on concrete floor.

CAMPING DO’S AND DON’TS

DO NOT...

1. Always extinguish campfire before leaving area.

2. Exercise care when using electricity and lighting in and near tents.

3. Make certain your tent is properly ventilated in all weather conditions. In extreme weather conditions, snow could obstruct airflow and

cause asphyxiation unless cleared frequently.

4. Anchor your tent securely to provide additional security from changing climatic conditions. Snow pegs, skis and/or heavy rocks may

be necessary to supplement tent stakes and guy cords.

5. Take your tent down and store properly after camping.

DO...

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE SUN’S ULTRAVIOLET

(UV) LIGHT DEGRADES ALMOST EVERY FABRIC AND MATERIAL. IF LEFT IN SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS

OF TIME, FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN. DO NOT STORE TENT ON CONCRETE FLOOR. DO NOT SPRAY THE

TENT WITH INSECTICIDE.

Your tent is water repellent, however, it is not waterproof. During heavy rain, some leakage may occur. Keep

objects from touching the inside of the tent. Such objects may cause leakage at point of contact. If seam leakage

occurs, it can be controlled by applying a seam sealer compound.

EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ELECTRIC DEVICES IN AND NEAR TENTS.

Although our tents and screen houses are constructed to rigid specifications, periods of wind or rain

soaking the ground may loosen the stakes and cause the uprights to sink into the ground. This will

weaken the rigidity of the overall structure. Water pockets may also form in the roof if the unit is not

assembled taut, possibly causing broken frames and torn fabric.

This document provides a comprehensive guide for the Ozark Trail Model W785.1, 87" x 34" 1P Backpacking Tent with Vestibule, covering safety warnings, assembly instructions, technical specifications, usage features, and maintenance tips.

Function Description:

The Ozark Trail Model W785.1 is a 1-person backpacking tent designed for outdoor use, offering shelter and a vestibule for additional storage. Its primary function is to provide a portable and relatively lightweight sleeping solution for a single individual during camping or backpacking trips. The tent is equipped with features to ensure stability, weather resistance, and ease of setup and takedown.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model: W785.1
Dimensions: 87" x 34"
Capacity: 1 Person (1P)
Components:
- Main Pole (W785.1M): Quantity 2
- Complete Set (W785.1S): Quantity 1
- Replacement Fly (W785.1F): Quantity 1
- Guy Rope (A1001): Quantity 4
- 7inch 6mm Aluminum Stake (AIU STAKE): Quantity 11
Material: The tent fabric is flame resistant, meeting CPAI-84 specifications. However, it is not fireproof and will burn if left in continuous contact with any flame source.
Water Resistance: The tent's water repellent feature is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to leakage.
UV Protection: The tent fabric is not UV resistant. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the fabric to fade and weaken.

Usage Features:

Assembly: The tent is designed for relatively straightforward assembly. Key steps include spreading out the floor, extending frame poles, inserting poles into grommets, attaching clips, staking down the tent, attaching the fly, hooking and loop fasteners, attaching the fly to the poles, and staking down the vestibule and back of the fly. Guy ropes are provided for added stability and should be pulled taut and staked out.
Ventilation: To prevent damage to the zipper and ensure proper ventilation, it is important to unzip the doors to allow air to enter the tent.
Storage: The vestibule provides additional space for storing gear outside the main sleeping area, helping to keep the interior clean and organized.
Portability: The tent is designed to be packed into a carry bag for easy transport. When packing, it is recommended to start with a small tight roll, then roll the carry bag, and finally roll the tent tightly, allowing air to escape. Once rolled, tie a string or rope around the tent to hold it in place.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning:
- Tent: Clean the tent by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric.
- Zippers: Keep zippers clean and free of dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
- Poles: Inspect poles for any damage or bending before and after each use.
- Stakes: Clean stakes after each use and store them properly to prevent rust or damage.
Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odors. If the tent is packed wet, unfold it and allow it to air dry as soon as possible.
Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing in damp or humid environments.
Repairs:
- Seams: If seams leak, a seam sealer can be applied.
- Fabric: Small tears or punctures in the fabric can be repaired with a patch kit.
- Poles: Damaged poles may require replacement.
General Care:
- Avoid setting up the tent under trees that drip sap or near objects that could puncture or tear the fabric.
- Do not use open flames or heat sources inside or near the tent.
- Do not spray the tent with insecticide, as this can damage the fabric.
- Regularly inspect the tent for any signs of wear and tear, and address issues promptly to extend its lifespan.
- In extreme weather conditions, snow could obstruct airflow and cause asphyxiation unless cleared frequently.
- Anchor your tent securely to provide additional security from changing climatic conditions. Snow pegs, skis, and/or heavy rocks may be necessary to supplement tent stakes when needed.
- Take your tent down and store it properly after camping.

Safety Warnings:

Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Never use fuel-burning devices such as lanterns, heaters, stoves, or charcoal inside the tent. These devices produce carbon monoxide, which is odorless, colorless, and deadly.
Fire Hazard: The tent fabric is flame resistant but not fireproof. Keep all flame and heat sources away from the tent fabric.
Children's Safety:
- Do not allow children to play with the tent or enter it except through the door.

- Be aware of weather conditions and take appropriate precautions.
- Do not leave the tent unattended for extended periods, especially in windy conditions.
