How To Set Up Ozark Trail Tent

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

MODEL W511.1 DOME TENT 9' X 7'

STEP 1: Spread tent out flat, floor side down.

STEP 2: Extend the fiberglass frame poles by pulling out each section and placing

ends into the metal ferrule connectors. You will have three poles. The two longer

poles are the tent poles and the shorter pole is for the fly.

STEP 3: Slide each fiberglass tent pole (A) through the sleeves on the top of

the tent roof.

Lay the fiberglass frame sections across

the tent forming an "X".

Straighten sleeves along the

fiberglass frame

pole sections.

STEP 4: Starting at the back of the tent, insert the fiberglass

frame poles into the pin ring located at each

corner of the tent. To raise tent, repeat the same procedure

at the front corners of the tent, flex the fiberglass poles

into an upward position, forming two arches.

NOTE: As poles are raised, make sure metal ferrules do not catch on

the sleeves.

STEP 5: Locate the fabric ties attached to the center of the tent roof and tie

around the poles.

IMPORTANT: WE ADVISE YOU TO ASSEMBLE THE TENT ONCE BEFORE

GOING CAMPING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF THE

TENT.

NOTE: PLEASE LOOK AT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS DIAGRAM TO SEE HOW

YOUR FRAME IS ASSEMBLED.

TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE TENT FLOOR, SELECT A LEVEL, CLEAN AREA

FOR THE CAMPSITE. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ZIPPER, UNZIP THE DOOR

TO ALLOW AIR TO ENTER THE TENT.

TO IMPROVE THE WEATHER RESISTANCE OF YOUR TENT, IT IS ADVIS-

ABLE TO USE SEAM SEALER TO COAT ALL 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. SEAM SEALER IS

AVAILABLE IN THE CAMPING SECTION OF ANY LOCAL SPORTING

GOODS STORE.

STEP 6: Stake down tent by inserting tent stakes through the pin ring at each corner

of the tent. Hammer stakes into ground at a 45° angle, by using a hammer or mallet.

Make sure to pull tent out even

and tight.

Tent should

appear as

shown.

STEP 7: Unfold the fly. Place fly over the tent and

attach the hooks on the fly to the pin rings at the

tent corners.

NOTE: When placing the fly on the tent make sure the pole sleeve on the fly is

located over the front door.

WARNING: Elastic cords can snap back and hit your eye.

To reduce the risk of injury to you and others:

• Keep your body and face clear.

• Do not over stretch elastic cords.

• Maintain firm grip on hook.

• Pull the hook toward you; if it slips it will spring away from you.

• Make sure hook is fully clipped to tent before releasing.

• Wear protective eyewear during tent assembly.

Your failure to follow this warning could cause serious injury or

permanent disability.

STEP 9: Insert the fly pole into the sleeve at the very front edge of the fly, over the

front door. Flex the fiberglass fly pole and insert each end into the reinforced metal

grommets located on either side of the front door.

STEP 10:

Guy lines are attached to each side & rear of fly

for additional stability. Extend the guy line and make

a loop at the opposite end by using the slider

(as shown) and place loop over stake. Adjust slider

to make guy line tight and stake to the ground.

Repeat this step with the two remaining guy lines.

Tent should

appear as

shown.

NOTE: There is an attached mud mat that should be unfolded in front of the tent door to

help keep your tent floor clean.

A mesh gear loft is included with your tent to attach to the tent ceiling to hold small

camping items within easy reach.

NOTE: To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure to leave

door 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 tent. Start a small tight

roll, the width of the carry bag, with the pole bag placed at the end opposite the

door. Roll tent toward door to allow air to escape. Once rolled, tie a string or rope

around tent to hold into place. Place tent, frame and stakes into carry bag. MAKE SURE

TENT IS CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE STORING.

STEP 8: Fasten the Velcro fasteners sewn to the edge of the fly around the

fiberglass tent poles.
