NOTE
• The awning tent comes with heavy duty pegs. These will
be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the awning tent
into the ground.
• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the awning tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of awning tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• After standing the awning tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-
peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in
a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the awning tent is under tension without dis-
torting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.
