Assembly Instructions for Copper Canyon 1312 & 1512 Component List: 1 Tent Body with Guy Ropes, 6 Wall Poles, 3 Roof Poles, 1 Fly Pole, 2-3 Awning Poles, 1 Fly, 1 Awning, 1 Divider Curtain, 1 Carry Bag, 1 Stake Bag/Stakes, 1 Pole Bag 1. Remove from the carry bag and separate all the components. Unroll and unfold the fabric top side up, on a clean, dry space and open the doors. If windy, stake down the windward corner. See fig 1. 7. Attach the fly to the tent. Turn the fly assembly over and align it so that the pole ends point to the windows. Grasp the corners of the of the fly and drag them up and over the roof poles to completely cover the roof. ( This is much easier with two people. ) The end of the poles should point out over the windows. At the corners of the tent, reach under the fly and attach the hook & loop straps to the wall poles just below the elbow and down the length of the wall poles, securing the fly in place. See fig 11. At the bottom/corners of the tent, attach the shockcorded J-hooks to the nylon rings on the corner web loops. See fig 12. 4. Raise the tent. Start on one side and insert black wall poles into the corner elbows. At the bottom of each pole, insert the pin/ring (attached to the corner web) into the bottom of each pole. Next, install a tan pole at the center. With the tans, it works best to insert the ring/pin first and then fit the pole into the elbow. See fig 5. Repeat on the other side until the tent is at full height and freestanding. fig 5 fig 1 5. Attach all clips to the wall poles. See fig 6. Stake the tent down through the corner web loops. Stake opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles. Next, align the center poles and stake down. Do this before you add the fly. See fig 7. Awning poles 2. Assemble the shock corded poles and divide according to Fly pole size and shape. Take care; make sure that each pole Roof poles section is fully seated into the next. Do not allow the Center sections to snap together as Wall poles this can damage the ends. See fig 2. fig 6 fig 12 8. Stake out the attached guy ropes and adjust tension with the in-line sliders. 9. Install the awning. Open the zippered flaps on the fly. See fig 13. Reach under the fly and clip the awning to the shockcords on the corner elbows. See fig 14. Tie a loop at each end of the guy ropes. Fit the pins of the awning poles into the grommets at the hem of the awning. Hang a guy rope loop over the pole pin, stake the rope out and adjust tension as needed. See fig 15. YOUR TENT IS READY ! fig 13 fig 14 fig 15 Corner Wall poles 1512 has 3 awning poles fig 7 fig 2 3. Insert both black roof poles into the sleeves sewn on the tent body. They should run corner to corner crossing in the center. Fit one end of each into a nylon elbow attached to the roof corners at A and B. Move to the opposite side, arch the poles and again fit into the nylon elbows at C and D. Insert the gray roof pole, front to back, into the tan color coded sleeves from E to F. See F fig 3 and 4. D C 6. Attach the fly to the pole. Lay out the fly with the inside side up, on ground at the front of the tent. Fit the fly pole into the pockets sewn to the hem. The pole runs from side to side down the center of the fly. Secure the fly to the pole by wrapping the hook and loop fasteners around the fly pole. See fig 8, 9 and 10. fig 3 fig 8 B E A Guy Out: This tent has very large straight walls that act differently in high winds. If there are high winds, carefully follow the guy out instructions on the back side of this sheet. Awning: If it's raining, lower both corner awning poles to create run-off channels. Loosen shockcord on each corner pole, lower the angle of each pole and re-tighten guy lines. Power Port: Open zipper and run extension cord through opening. Close zipper so that it rests next to the extension cord. Make sure the zipper cover is not twisted or tucked. The cover must lay flat against the outside of the tent to keep out rain. Take Down: Pull up all stakes. Release the fly's hook & loop straps. Remove fly. Remove fly poles. Remove clips from wall poles and pull poles off of the pins. Remove roof poles. Collapse all poles and stow. Fold the tent onto itself then fold the fly and lay it on tent. Roll up both towards the open door and stow. NOTE: One arm of each elbow has interior ribs. Roof poles insert into this ribbed arm. Wall poles insert into the plain arm. fig 9 fig 4 REV B 4.09 fig 11 fig 10 Sweep Out: Inside, at the bottom center of each door is a sewn-in web loop. Pull this loop to the outside and stake it down to provide a ready exit for floor sweepings. See fig 16. Options: Floor Saver and Gear Loft fig 16 electrocution or electric shock hazard The use of the Power Port to run an extension cord into the tent could result in electrocution or electric shock, or fire or explosion hazards, which could cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability. For these reasons, when using the Power Port: DO follow all warnings, instructions, and safety precautions from the manufacturer of the extension cord. DO connect extension cord only to a 120 Volt GFCI protected outlet with proper ground. If GFCI outlet is not available, use an extension cord with GFCI protection built in. DO use only extension cords that are marked for OUTDOOR USE. DO make sure the part of the extension cord that is outside the tent is lower than the Power Port so that rain will not follow the cord into the tent. DO store extension separately from tent. DO NOT allow extension cord or any electrical device to come into contact with water or condensation inside the tent. DO NOT use extension cord if it is worn or damaged. DO KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC. This tent meets 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 tent fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective. DO NOT operate any device which burns fuel inside your tent. Combustion consumes oxygen and can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, which could lead to serious injury or death. Your failure to follow these warnings could cause death, serious injury or permanent disability to you or others. SEAM SEALING: We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®. • Work in a fully ventilated area. • Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer. • Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements. • Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture’s instructions. STAKING: All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate. • Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs. • Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself. Staking in special conditions: • Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil. • Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might damage your tent. • Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie tent to buried objects (branches, tent bags, or stuff sacks filled with snow; or tie tents to snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are stuck in the snow. GUY LINES: Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. The Copper Canyons have built-in loops and guy lines at optimal guy out locations. It’s important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during exceptional weather. • Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the tent frame. Hook and loop fasteners are sewn to the underside of the fly for this purpose. • There are guyout points with guylines preattached at primary locations. Stake those guylines 6’ from the edge of the tent. The optimal angle from the ground to the guyline is 45˚. See fig a. • In high winds guylines should be attached to the secondary web loops on each corner, and center on the 1312/1512, and halfway down the tan mid-poles on the 1312 and 1512. See fig b. Attach parachute cord and stake per the previous notations. This prevents all movement, except toward the anchor. The guy lines will work together through opposition. See illustrations below: fig a fig b CONDENSATION & VENTING: Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most often, water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than from the tent leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag touches the side of the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces such as the door flaps. A tent’s double wall construction allows the vapor to escape through the roof to the outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry. Leave the windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and further reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in very humid or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less effective. The features that enhance ventilation are windows, short-sheeted flys (bottom venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are specific to each tent model. Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent. Eureka! tent vestibules profit from the ability to “short sheet” by means of zippers & toggles and staked vestibule pull outs create a bellowing effect. Most of our tents are equipped with a High/Low venting door. This design allows increased airflow into the tent from the bottom. Open the low vent/window to admit cool air, allowing the warmer air out through the high roof vents. When rain and wind prevent the low vent from being opened, the high door vent can still be used. Fly overhangs or vestibules protect it. ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT: Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to UV degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged. UV damage can be minimized by erecting tents on shaded sites with low exposure to direct sunlight. GENERAL POLE CARE: • Never let tent poles snap together as this can damage the pole end. • Do not drop tent or pole bags on their ends and do not bounce a tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and damage the pole ends. • The aluminum frame may bend slightly and take a “set” through usage; this normally does not affect the performance of the frame. GENERAL TENT CARE: • Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones. • Try not to wear shoes inside your tent. • Use a ground cloth whenever possible. • Do not keep food inside a tent. Hungry critters will chew through tent fabric in search of food. STORAGE: • Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe. • Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life. • The tent bag should be used only as a carry sack and not for storage. COLOR TRANSFER: • Do to the nature of tent fabrics, color can transfer from darker to lighter fabrics when the two fabrics are in contact over time when wet, damp or exposed to the combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect the tent’s performance. To prevent / minimize color transfer, always make sure your tent is completely dry prior to packing and storage. CLEANING: • Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the tent’s protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the seams, before storing or mold / mildew are likely to grow. • Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate them with silicone spray. This is especially necessary after ocean side camping to remove salt spray so the poles don’t corrode or stay gritty. • Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them off. This is especially important if you’ve been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you don’t clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will become inoperable.
