ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE K2-XT
• At location A, grasp the end of the pole and
insert the post into the first grommet (the one
closest to the tent) on the web. At location B,
lift the tent and push the pole from B to A to
create an arc. Insert the locking post into one
of the grommets on web to maintain tension.
There are 2 or 3 grommets on each web —
these are for adjustment. If possible, insert the
posts into the grommets closest to the tent to make
the canopy tight and wrinkle free.
• Insert the posts of the
vestibule pole into the
grommets on the web at
either side of the door.
Connect the five clips on the
fly to the poles. See fig.6.

1 Unpack the carry bag and separate the components.
Unfold the tent body and lay it out with the floor on the
ground and a grommeted web in each corner. Pull the
tent into a rough hexagon. Do not stake down the tent
just yet; but in windy conditions, stake down one corner
that faces into the wind.

• Move to the rear of the tent and stake
out the web loop on the back
vestibule, but do not adjust the
tension just yet. Go to the front of tent
and stake out the two web loops on
the front vestibule. See fig.7.
• Repeat with the second pole from C to D.
• Move to the side of the tent and insert the locking post into the first
grommet on the side web at E. On the opposite side and at location
F grasp the end of the pole and push from F to E to form an arc.
Insert the post into a grommet on the web.
• Continue with the last pole
from G to H. See fig.2 and fig.3.
2 Assemble the shockcorded tent poles and rod.
Carefully seat each section. Try to keep the poles from
snapping together as this can damage the ends. Set the
shorter vestibule rod aside.
7 Tighten the webs until the vestibule
is taut. Work your way around the
tent, tighten the six side release
buckle webs from the fly and from
the rear stake out web. See Fig.8.

6 Attach the fly to the tent.

ground. Find the front
vestibule; it has a door and
clear plastic window. Drape
the fly, right side up, on top of
the tent so that the vestibule
covers one of the doors.
Your tent is now ready for use.
Open the two fly roof vents through the zippered slots in the
tent roof. Then, roll up the vestibule door from the bottom or to
the side for better ventilation. The front vestibule also features
an attached snow flap around the bottom.
• Reach under the fly and attach
all the Velcro® tabs, through the
openings in the sleeves, to the
poles. See fig.4.
• Connect the six side release buckles
on the fly to their mates on the tent.
See fig.5.
