This document is an operator's manual for the Landmark™ 600 Blind, Model LM603, a permanent hunting blind manufactured by Rivers Edge. The manual provides detailed assembly instructions, a parts list, hardware identification, and important warnings to ensure safe and proper use of the product.
Function Description:
The Landmark™ 600 Blind is designed for hunting purposes, providing a permanent, enclosed structure for hunters. It is intended to offer shelter and concealment, enhancing the hunting experience. The blind features a robust frame structure covered with fabric panels, including zippered windows for visibility and shooting. It is designed for ground-level use, but the manufacturer also offers original designed tower structures for elevated use, with specific warranty conditions applying to elevated setups.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific dimensions and material compositions are not explicitly detailed as "technical specifications" in a dedicated section, the manual implies several structural and material characteristics through its parts list and assembly instructions:
- Frame Construction: The blind utilizes a frame constructed from various poles and hubs (e.g., base hubs, middle hubs, roof hubs, vertical and horizontal support poles, angled braces). These components are secured using snap buttons and a variety of bolts and nuts.
- Hardware: The hardware list includes:
- Bolts: 1/4 X 1-1/4 IN, 1/4 X 1-1/2 IN, 1/4 X 2 IN, 1/4 X 2-1/4 IN, 1/4 X 1 IN.
- Nuts: 1/4 IN, 5/16 IN.
- Spacers: Plastic (6 MM, 2.5 MM).
- Washers: Black Plastic (4 MM).
- Fabric: The tent fabric meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84, indicating a degree of flame resistance, though users are warned to keep all flame and heat sources away from it. The fabric panels include sewn sleeves for window poles and D-ring straps, hook-and-loop strips for attachment and sealing, and zippered windows.
- Door: The blind features a door assembly with a door frame, tension tube, cam straps, and a door handle with a latch mechanism.
- Windows: The blind incorporates both vertical and horizontal window panels. Vertical window panels (46) are clipped to the frame, while horizontal windows are zippered and can be rolled up and secured with straps.
- Corner Shelf: A corner shelf with hooks (37) is included for internal storage.
- Tools Required for Assembly: 7/16" wrench (2 qty) and 1/2" wrench (1 qty).
Usage Features:
- Assembly: The manual provides a step-by-step guide for assembling the blind, starting from the base tier frame, moving to the middle tier, then the top tier, and finally attaching the roof and wall panels. It emphasizes finger-tightening bolts initially and securing them fully only when instructed, to aid alignment.
- Panel Attachment: The sewn panels (side walls, back wall, front walls, door panel, roof panel) are attached to the frame using D-ring straps, hook-and-loop strips, and bolts for window poles. The D-ring straps are used to secure the panels tightly to the frame, with instructions to start from the top and work downwards.
- Window Adjustment:
- Vertical Windows: These panels (46) are clipped to the frame and can be adjusted by sliding or unclipping/re-clipping the clips.
- Horizontal Windows: These are zippered and can be opened to the desired position. A flap can be rolled up and secured with straps to keep the window open.
- Door Operation: The door assembly includes a handle and latch for opening and securing. The door panel is tensioned vertically using cam straps.
- Internal Features: A corner shelf with hooks is provided for convenience inside the blind.
- Safety: The manual includes critical warnings about the product's intended use (hunting only, not camping), the danger of children playing unsupervised, and the risk of suffocation if material covers the face. It also warns against using non-approved parts.
Maintenance Features:
- Warranty: The product comes with a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for the first retail consumer or commercial end user. The warranty requires online registration within 30 days of purchase. It specifically excludes damage from extreme weather conditions (e.g., hurricane force winds), improper anchoring, cracked windows, tent tears, or bent poles due to misuse.
- Parts Replacement: Users are instructed to contact the Rivers Edge customer service department for problems and to obtain approved RETI parts. The manual provides information on how to check for parts online or by phone.
- Inspection: The manual advises reviewing instructions at least annually and inspecting the product before each use.
- Hardware Tightening: Instructions specify securely tightening all loose roof hardware after the roof assembly and all loose hardware after the wall panels are attached, ensuring a snug fit and taking out slack in the fabric.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, the nature of a hunting blind suggests periodic cleaning of fabric panels and frame components would be necessary for longevity, though specific cleaning instructions are not provided in this excerpt.
