- Page 2 A ground sheet should be cut or folded smaller than the tent floor to prevent water pooling between the floor and the ground sheet. Another light and convenient option is MEC’s custom-made coated nylon Footprint. sEt-up a note about shock-corded poles Shockcord (bungee cord) is meant to keep pole sections in the proper order—not to function as an automatic assembly mechanism for poles.
- Page 3 • The Mercury maximizes air circulation and minimizes interior condensation by using the chimney effect: warm, moist, exhaled breath escapes through the high peaked vents while fresh air flows in under the bottom of the fly.
- Page 4 The Mercury has four corner guy line attachment points so you can rig it increasingly securely in response to actual or anticipated winds. • Guy lines should counter-balance one another for maximum stability and minimum stress on the tent.
- Page 5 packing the tent If possible, fold and roll the tent rather than stuffing it into its sack—rolling makes a smaller package, and causes fewer creases in the polyurethane coating. The tent and poles may be carried separately for easier packing or load sharing.
- Page 6 If the poles are exposed to salt or salt water, rinse them in fresh water and allow them to dry before storing. (While aluminum does not rust, it can become brittle through unseen corrosion over time.) lubricating the poles Occasionally apply a light coating of a silicone-based lubricant like 303™ Protectant to the tent pole connections.
