Coleman Lakeside 4 Extended

To familiarize yourself with your new Coleman tent, it is recommended to set it up at home first before your camping trip. Please follow these simple set up instructions to obtain the best performance and longest life from your new Coleman Tent.

1. When you have selected your tent site, ensure that there are no sharp sticks or objects to

2. puncture the tent floor and lay the inner tent on the ground.

Lay the inner tent in the position you want it, taking into account the fall of the land and the prevailing wind direction. Always place the tent with the front opening away from the wind.

Be careful not to set up under trees which might drop sap or branches which can fall in heavy weather.

Sort the 5 tent fiberglass poles and assemble them making sure that the pole end fully inserts into the metal ferrule end to avoid splitting or breaking poles.

The Coleman Pin and Ring construction method, makes it easier to connect the poles to the tent before pegging the inner tent to the ground. This means that you can erect the inner tent and then move it to your preferred position.

Leave the doors fully zipped up before pegging out the inner tent.

Insert the two BLACK (581cm long) poles into the mesh pole sleeves and attach to the pin at the diagonal tent corners . These poles are the main central poles and cross over each other to support the main central body of the tent.

Insert 2 of the GREY ( 497cm long with pre bent connector) poles through the sleeves at the front of the tent and connect to the opposite side locating pin.

Insert the final GREY pole into the sleeve at the rear of the tent and connect both ends into the pins at ground level.

Clip any C clips from the inner tent to the poles and this completes the inner tent set up.

Now is the time to position the tent wherever you want it, locate the inner tent where required and then peg down the 4 corners ensuring the floor is square and does not have wrinkles in it.

When pegging the inner tent down, drive the pegs into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal and sloping away from the tent pegging point.

Pull the fly over the frame and peg out the corner points of the fly . Leave the zips on doorways done up to ensure the correct shape and location of the fly is achieved. Never overtighten or pull excessively on a fly as it can stretch a seam which may cause leaks. There are plastic clips to attach the fly to the metal rings at the pegging points.

13. Attach the velcro attachments on the inside of the fly to the poles and guy out the attached guy ropes to complete the set up of your tent. These guy ropes assist in keeping the tent stable during windy conditions and should always be pegged out when the tent is erected.

Dismantling Your Tent.

The dismantle process of the tent is the reverse of the preceding instructions and special care should be taken in removing the pegs ( NEVER pull on the material to remove the pegs, use a peg remover) and make sure that the pegs and tent materials are dry and clean before packing away.

A wet tent will mildew quickly and will void your warranty.

Keeping your tent clean and dry and following theses simple instructions will ensure you enjoy many pleasant camping experiences.

To prolong the life of your tent floor, you can put a separate sheet of tarp under your tent before set up.

Please read the tent care instructions attached inside the tent.

It is easier to push a fiberglass pole through a sleeve rather than pulling it out, which can stretche the connecting cord.
