Important Safety Warning: This portable shelter is designed for temporary use and should not be left up in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or high winds, as it may cause damage to the structure. Always secure the tent properly with stakes and ropes to prevent accidental collapse or displacement.

• Do not use the canopy tent near open flames or heat sources.
• Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged during setup and before use.
• Always supervise children around the canopy tent.
• Disassemble the tent during strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage and ensure safety.

4. Setup Instructions

Setting up your AMERICAN PHOENIX canopy tent typically requires two people for ease and safety. Follow these steps for assembly:

1. Unpack the Frame: Remove the folded frame from the wheeled storage bag and place it in the desired setup location.
2. Partially Expand the Frame: With a person on each side, gently pull the outer legs of the frame outwards, partially expanding the structure. Do not fully extend yet.
3. Attach the Canopy Top: Drape the canopy fabric over the partially expanded frame. Secure the corners of the canopy to the frame's corner posts using the Velcro straps or elastic loops provided. Ensure the canopy is centered and evenly distributed.
4. Fully Expand the Frame: Continue to pull the outer legs apart until the frame is fully extended. The central peak mechanism should rise and lock into place. Ensure all truss bars are fully extended and locked.
5. Adjust Height: Press the push-button sliders on each leg to extend the legs to your desired height. There are four height positions available: 8FT, 8.25FT, 8.5FT, and 8.75FT (maximum peak height). Ensure all four legs are set to the same height for stability.
6. Secure the Tent: Use the provided ropes and stakes to anchor the tent to the ground. Attach ropes to the canopy's D-rings or loops and stake them firmly into the ground at an angle. This is crucial for stability, especially in light wind conditions.

5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled and secured, your AMERICAN PHOENIX canopy tent is ready for use. It provides a shaded area for various outdoor activities.

• Sun Protection: The polyester PU coated canopy fabric is designed to block sunlight, offering UV protection.
• Water Resistance: All seams are sealed to prevent water from seeping through, providing water resistance for light rain. It is not designed for heavy downpours.
• Height Adjustment: The tent offers four height positions (8FT, 8.25FT, 8.5FT, 8.75FT) to suit different needs. Adjust by pressing the push-button sliders on each leg.
• Sidewall Compatibility: The canopy features Velcro along the underside to attach optional sidewalls (not included).

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your canopy tent:

• Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame Care: Wipe down the steel framework with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. The frame is powder-coated for rust and corrosion resistance, but regular cleaning helps maintain its condition.
• Storage: Ensure the canopy fabric and frame are completely dry before folding and storing them in the wheeled storage bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of damage, loose screws, or wear on the fabric. Address any issues promptly.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Difficulty Expanding/Collapsing the Frame:

  Ensure two people are involved in the process, standing on opposite sides. Apply even pressure when pulling apart or pushing together. Check for any obstructions or misaligned parts in the truss structure. Lubricate moving joints if stiffness persists.

• Tent is Unstable:

  Verify that all four legs are set to the same height. Ensure all locking mechanisms on the legs and the central peak are fully engaged. Always use the provided ropes and stakes to anchor the tent to the ground, especially in outdoor conditions.
• Water Leaking Through Canopy:

  While the canopy is water-resistant with sealed seams, it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain. Ensure the canopy is taut and properly attached to allow water runoff. In heavy rain, it is recommended to take down the tent.
