1. Place your E-Z UP^® frame in the center of area to be sheltered. With partner standing on opposite side of frame, the tallest trusses should be in front of you. Grasping two outer legs, slightly lift frame off ground and step backwards, stopping at full arms' length.
   
2. Unfold the top and drape over partially opened frame. Place the peaked side of the top's valance on the side of the frame with the tallest trusses. Match hook and loop strips on the top with the strips located just below the corner caps on each leg (see photo). Push the strips firmly together
   

HOW TO SET UP

First: Repeat Step 1, in 'First Time Top Attachment'

1. Grasp the top and bottom of diamond-shaped area of trusses. Slightly lift shelter up and push hands together while stepping backwards until shelter is fully opened. Be careful not to pinch fingers or pull backwards too hard as trusses will bend.
   
2. Check Pull Pin at each corner to make sure Pull Pin has engaged. If Pull Pin slider is not engaged push slider with one hand while pushing down on the top of the leg with the other hand. Pull Pin will engage in hole. Repeat step on remaining legs.
   
3. Support arms should be engaged by seating the mounting brackets firmly between the two sidewall washers. Note: Size 12' x 14' model will have 2 sets of support arms.
   
4. Lift two adjacent outer legs and slide out inner legs until the snap button locks into place.
   
5. Lift up the remaining two outer legs and slide inner legs until snap button locks.
   Use stakes to secure in windy conditions.
   

HOW TO TAKE DOWN

1. With a partner, lift adjacent outer legs up 1", depress snap button and telescope inner legs into outer legs.
   
2. Lower remaining legs, by telescoping inner legs into outer legs.
   
3. 
   Remove the support arms by lifting the mounting brackets from between the two washers and let it hang freely from the peak truss.
   
4. Release the Pull Pin at each corner by first lifting fabric top corner. With one hand, push up on truss near slider to remove the weight of the shelter from Pull Pin. Pull the Pull Pin out to release the Pull Pin slider.
   
5. With partner on opposite side, grasp top and bottom of diamondshaped area of trusses and slightly lift up. Shake shelter slightly, pulling hands apart, while stepping towards partner until shelter is 3/4 closed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read this information before proceeding. It is the user's responsibility to take the following precautions at all times.

• Always stake or weigh down your E-Z UP^® shelter. Do not use in any potentially windy or rainy weather. Wind and rain can damage your E-Z UP^® shelter and may also result in injury to you or others. Therefore, do not rely on shelter for protection in heavy or prolonged rain storms.
• The E-Z UP^® shelter is designed as a temporary sun shelter. Do not leave up for extended periods.
• Use caution when handling the E-Z UP^® frame. Avoid pinching hands or fingers as frame opens or closes.
• Do not use shelter in a lightning storm.
• Do not leave your E-Z UP^® Instant Shelter^® product unattended.
• Do not build fires under shelter.

Keep all flame and heat sources away from the top, awning and sidewall fabrics. These fabrics meet 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 fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For long lasting durability and the best possible protection for your E-Z UP^® Instant Shelter^® product, follow these E-Z care and maintenance instructions:

• Use a mild soap (not detergent) and plenty of water for top cleaning.
• Let the E-Z UP^® top and frame dry completely before closing or storing to avoid mildew.
• Frame will operate and look better if occasionally wiped with silicone spray, especially before and after use in damp conditions. Remove excess silicone residue before attaching top.
• Use a seam sealer if top leaks or drips water. Available at most sportinggoods and hardware stores.
• Slightly tighten bolts if frame becomes loose.
