Elk Mountain Tents YUKON Instructions

YUKON TENT INSTRUCTIONS
One person can setup the tent, but it helps to have two.

Set-Up

1) You may want to place a tarp down for your tent to sit on. This will help protect the floor and make it easier to clean the tent
when taking down
2) Lay tent out in a flat area that allows about 6 feet all the way around the tent for the ropes.
3) Take the small pegs and, pulling the groundsheet tight, stake down the floor.
4) Take the main straight pole through the door, find the center of the cone and push the pole and tent up until it's vertical. Make
sure you have the rubber stopers on the bottom and top of the pole. Never set-up tent without the rubber stopers.
5) Attach all the ropes to the tent and stake down with the larger stakes. There should be one longer rope for the door. Do
the door rope after step 5. In order to help keep the tent centered, it is best to do ropes on opposites side of each other,
working your way around the tent. Do not put to much tension on the ropes at this time. If you expect high winds or rocky
conditions you may consider purchasing larger stakes.
6) Put the A frame together inside the tent. Put the spike through the hole at the top of the door. Remove plastic cover that
is over the spike if you want to use the rain cap.
All the guy ropes need to follow the lines of the seams in the roof.
It is important to make sure the tent stays symmetrical and that the tension is evenly spread.
7) Once all the pegs are in, adjust the guy ropes to create the desired tension.
By doing it this way, and following the seam lines, will look like this.
TIP:
If the door seems too tight move the two guy ropes either
side of the door in towards the middle of the door to relieve
some tension.
