Things You Should Know

Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.) condensation will form on the inside of your shelter. Condensation is caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing inside the shelter. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the shelter fabric. It can be minimized by removing wet clothing from your shelter and by providing good ventilation through the shelter.
Tree limbs, tree sap, bird droppings, or moisture steadily dripping off tree limbs can cause damage to the shelter fabric and its coating resulting in leaks or loss of flame-resistant properties.
Never store shelter even for a short period of time, without drying it thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside your shelter. Use a separate storage bag.
Stakes should be removed by pulling on the stake itself. NEVER PULL ON THE SHELTER TO REMOVE STAKES AS THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Shelter poles should not be left telescoped together during storage.
Do not leave your shelter set-up for weeks at a time. Be aware that exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can seriously damage material and/or cause it to become discolored.

Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric.
This tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The fabric may 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.
