2. Setup Instructions

The R100-MOC ground blind is designed for quick and easy deployment. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Unpack the Blind: Remove the blind from its carrying bag and unstrap it.
2. Expand the Hubs: Lay the blind flat on the ground. Grasp one of the hub poles and pull it outwards until the panel pops into place. Repeat this for all side panels.
3. Raise the Roof: Once the side panels are extended, push up on the roof hub from the inside or pull the roof hub strap from the outside until the roof pops into its fully extended position.
4. Secure the Blind: Use the included stakes and tie-down ropes to secure the blind to the ground, especially in windy conditions. Ensure all corners are taut.
5. Add Natural Concealment: Utilize the brush loops located on the exterior of the blind to add local vegetation for enhanced camouflage.

3. Operating the Blind

Window Operation:

The R100-MOC features a 270-degree window system with shoot-through mesh and solid fabric panels. These can be adjusted silently using hook and loop attachments.

• Opening Windows: Gently detach the hook and loop fasteners to open the solid fabric panels. Roll them up or down as desired and secure them to the designated fasteners to keep them open.
• Using Shoot-Through Mesh: The mesh allows for visibility and shooting while maintaining concealment. Ensure the mesh is free from obstructions before shooting.
• Closing Windows: Unfasten the rolled-up panels and carefully press the hook and loop fasteners together to secure the windows closed, minimizing light and movement detection.

• Accessing the Blind: Locate the zipperless entry panel. Gently open the panel, which is secured by a durable clamp system, to enter or exit the blind.
• Securing Entry: Ensure the entry panel is properly closed and secured after entering or exiting to maintain concealment and minimize drafts.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your RHINO Blinds R100-MOC.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially in wet or muddy conditions, clean the blind. Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Drying: Always ensure the blind is completely dry before folding and storing it. Storing a wet blind can lead to mold, mildew, and fabric degradation.
• Storage: Fold the blind according to the manufacturer's instructions and store it in its carrying bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the blind for any damage to the fabric, poles, hubs, or fasteners. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

5. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your R100-MOC ground blind:

• Difficulty Setting Up: Ensure the blind is laid flat and all hub poles are pulled out firmly until they lock into place. If a hub is stiff, gently work it back and forth.
• Blind Not Standing Firmly: Verify that all stakes are properly inserted into the ground and tie-down ropes are taut. In soft ground, consider using longer or wider stakes (not included).
• Water Leakage: While the fabric is water-resistant, extreme weather or prolonged exposure can lead to minor leaks. Inspect seams for damage. Applying a seam sealer (sold separately) can improve water resistance.
• Damaged Poles or Hubs: Replacement parts are available. Contact RHINO Blinds customer support for assistance with obtaining and installing replacement components.
