Instruction Manual for CORE 13FT Instant Canopy

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of the CORE 13FT Instant Canopy (Model #40155). For optimal setup, we recommend two people, a rubber mallet, and a level surface. Always ensure the canopy is fully secured with stakes and guylines to prevent damage.

Assembly and Setup

1. Extend Canopy Frame: Expand and spread the frame halfway. Avoid pinch points during this process.
2. Fully Extend Frame: Drape the canopy over the frame and have two people pull from opposite corners to fully extend it.
3. Lock and Secure Canopy Frame: Grasp the canopy leg above the gray button and push up on the apex support pole until the gray button clicks into the locked position. Repeat for all four poles.
4. Attach Canopy to Frame: Place long awning corner poles into corner pockets. Secure the canopy top to the frame using the hook and loop fasteners along the underside seams.
5. Adjust to Desired Height: Place your foot on the canopy leg, grasp the leg, and extend it until the gray button clicks. Use the gray button to adjust to the desired height setting (Low, Medium, or High).
6. Secure Canopy: Position the shelter, slide stakes through the holes at the bottom of each leg, and secure the guylines at a 45-degree angle using stakes.

Take Down Instructions

To disassemble, perform the assembly steps in reverse order. Remove all stakes, release hook and loop fasteners, press gray buttons to telescope legs down, and release the apex support poles. Fold the frame carefully to avoid pinch points and store in the carry bag.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Clean the canopy top with a soft sponge, mild soap, and tepid water. Let it air dry in the sunlight.
• Storage: Always store in a clean, dry area. Ensure the canopy is completely dry before packing to prevent mold or damage. Remove stakes before storing in the carry bag.
• Waterproofing: The fabric is factory-treated and highly water-repellent but not waterproof. Use a seam sealing compound for additional moisture protection. Do not use chemical sprays as they may compromise the fire-retardant coating.

Safety Warnings

• Keep all flame and heat sources away from the fabric. The material is flame-resistant but not fireproof.
• Do not use fuel-burning devices inside or near the shelter.
• Do not set up under trees due to the risk of lightning or falling limbs.
• Do not leave the shelter set up for weeks at a time to avoid UV damage.
