Important Safety Information
For your safety and to ensure the longevity of your canopy, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Always ensure the canopy is properly secured to a stable foundation before use. This prevents accidental collapse or displacement due to wind or other external forces.
- Be cautious when tilting and moving the canopy to prevent injury. The Tilt-N-Go system is designed for ease of transport, but proper handling is essential.
- Follow all assembly and disassembly instructions carefully. Incorrect setup can compromise the canopy's stability and lead to damage or injury.
- Do not use the canopy in extreme weather conditions, such as high winds, heavy rain, or snow, unless specifically designed for such conditions.
- Keep children and pets away from the canopy during setup and takedown procedures.
Setup Instructions
The UNDERCOVER X3 canopy is designed for an instant 2-person setup. Follow these steps for quick and efficient deployment:
- Unpack the Canopy: Remove the canopy frame and top from the wheeled carry bag. Place the frame in the desired setup location.
- Expand the Frame: With a person on each side, gently pull the outer legs of the frame outwards. The frame will begin to expand.
- Attach the Canopy Top: Drape the canopy top over the expanded frame. Ensure the corners are aligned with the frame's corner posts. Secure the top to the frame using any integrated fasteners.
- Lock the Frame: Push up on the central hub of the frame until it locks into place. Ensure all four corner sliders are fully extended and locked. The patented Pinch Proof Self-locking Leg Latch ensures secure setup.
- Extend the Legs: Extend each leg to the desired height by pressing the release button and pulling the inner leg section outwards until it clicks into place.
- Attach Sidewalls (Optional): If using sidewalls, utilize the patented Curtain Rail System. Slide the sidewall clips onto the integrated rails along the canopy's perimeter. This allows for dynamic and easy attachment without Velcro.
- Secure the Canopy: For optimal stability, especially in windy conditions, use stakes or weight bags (not included) to secure each leg of the canopy to the ground.

Operating the Canopy
Once set up, the UNDERCOVER X3 canopy provides a versatile shelter for various needs:
- Adjusting Height: The legs can be adjusted to different heights using the Pinch Proof Self-locking Leg Latch. Ensure all legs are adjusted to the same height for stability.
- Sidewall Management: The Curtain Rail System allows for easy opening and closing of the sidewalls. They can be pulled back and tied to the legs for an open feel or fully closed for privacy and protection from elements.
- Portability (Tilt-N-Go System): When it's time to pack up, collapse the frame partially, and use the built-in wheels on the carry bag to easily transport the folded frame. This system is designed for single-person mobility.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your UNDERCOVER X3 canopy:
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and its UV protective coating. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage to prevent mildew.
- Frame Care: Periodically inspect the steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. Clean any dirt or debris from the frame. If rust spots appear, gently clean them and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint to prevent further corrosion. Lubricate moving parts and joints with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Always store the canopy in its carry bag in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the fabric is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew growth.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect all components, including the frame, fabric, and any accessories, for wear and tear. Replace any damaged parts immediately to maintain safety and functionality.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty expanding/collapsing frame | Joints are stiff or dirty; frame is not properly aligned. | Clean joints and apply silicone lubricant. Ensure two people are expanding/collapsing the frame evenly. Check for any bent or misaligned parts. |
| Canopy feels unstable or wobbly | Legs not fully extended/locked; insufficient anchoring; uneven ground. | Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Use stakes or weight bags on all four legs. Set up on as level ground as possible. |
| Water pooling on canopy top | Canopy not taut enough; improper peak adjustment. | Ensure the canopy top is stretched tightly over the frame. Adjust the Dial-A-Fit peak to ensure proper tension and water runoff. |
| Sidewalls not sliding smoothly | Debris in curtain rail; damaged clips. | Clean the curtain rail system. Inspect sidewall clips for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Rust appearing on frame | Exposure to moisture; lack of protective coating. | Clean rust spots thoroughly. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. Store in a dry environment. |
