Giga Tent MT 012 - Manual (Page 6)

STOP!
Read Instructions prior to assembling tent.
The tent assembly you are about to experience will knock your socks off! That said, we don’t want it to knock your head
off, or anyone else’s. The Mantica employs an inner tension frame that “wants” to pop open. Make sure the space you’re
camping in is clear of people, pets, fire and gear. While grasping the frame tightly in one hand, release the strap with
your other hand. Now simply throw the tent into the air, away from you, and in the general direction of your camping
area. POP! You’re tent is now opened! At this stage, you’ve almost completed the assembly of your tent! Follow the
diagram below to get a better picture for properly assembling the Mantica tent. Thanks for choosing Gigatent.
