Magellan Outdoors Blue Stone Assembly Instructions

IMPORTANT: We advise you to assemble the tent once before going
camping to become familiar with the assembly. It is recommended that
two people be involved in the setup.
NOTE: To prolong the life of the tent floor, select a level, clean area for
the campsite. To prevent damage to the zipper, unzip the doors, prior to
tent setup, to allow air to enter the tent. To improve the weather resist-
ance of your tent, it is advisable to use seam sealer to coat all the
exposed seams. You should apply only to the underside of the fly and
inside seams of the tent. If applied to the outside of seams, discoloration
of your tent may occur.
STEP 1: Spread the tent out flat, floor side down.
STEP 2: Extend all the fiberglas frame sections by pulling out each
section and placing it into the connected shock-corded sections. Sort
pole according to the parts diagram list. There will be 3 equal length main
tent poles(A), 2 loner equal side poles(B), and one short screen room pole
(E), You will also have 2 steel screen room leg poles(F), along with one
plastic main center hub(C) and two plastic corner porch hubs(D).
STEP 3: Stake down the front base of the tent by inserting a stake
through the stake loops, located on either side of the door, and drive the
stakes into the ground at a 45° angle using a hammer or mallet. Make
certain the front of the tent is pulled out even and tight.
STEP 4: Attach the center hub(C) to the tent with the strings located
along the seams, as shown in the diagram below. Next make sure the pole
sleeves are in line with each other on the roof of the tent by following the
seam acrossed the tent. Now take the main poles(A) and slide them
through the pole sleeves and insert them into the main cent hub(C). Also
slide the side poles (B) through their pole sleeves. The tent should appear
as shown.

STEP 5: Start with one of the three main poles(A). Place the metal ferrule
over the pin located on the ring of the stake loop. Continue to set the
remaining two main poles in place. Next, set the side poles(B) in place.
Hold the pole(B) in place while your partner flexes the other end to create
an arch, so they can place their end over the corresponding pin. Repeat
this step for the remaining other side pole (B).
STEP 6: Clip the plastic hooks sewn to the tent to the fiberglass frame
poles.
STEP 7: Continue to stake down the tent by using the tent stakes and the
stake loops at the base of the tent, making certain to pull the tent out even
and tight. Take the porch roof pole(E) and slide it through the pole sleeve.
Connect the corner hubs(D) to the pole(E), insert the steel leg poles(F) into
the corner hubs(D) and set them in place so the screen room is tight.
Tent should appear as shown.

STEP 8: Unfold the fly and stretch out all the corners. Locate the front
by finding fly logo. Once the front of the fly has been located, place the
fly over the tent. Attach the fly to the tent by hooking the plastic
s-hooks on the fly corners to the metal "O"-rings at the tent corners.
STEP 9: Wrap the inside velcro tabs at each corner of the fly around the
fiberglass tent poles.
STEP 10: Finally, finish by securing the fly with the guy out ropes and
remaining stakes. The tent should appear as shown.
NOTE: To take down the tent, follow the steps above in reverse order.
Be sure to leave doors and windows unzipped. Place stakes into stake
bag and poles into pole bag, which are provided.
The tent should be folded into equal parts toward the center of the tent
to distribute the bulk. Fold fly and lay on top of the tent. Start a small
tight roll, the width of your carry bag, with the pole bag placed at the
opposite the door. Roll tent toward door to allow air to escape. Once
rolled, secure with strings or rope. Slide tent and stake bag into carry
bag. Make sure the tent is clean and dry before storing. Store in a dry
area, off of concrete floor.
