How to pitch your
Krytpon Tent

STEP 1
Locate a reasonably level area that will drain well during rain. Ensure that the area is free of sharp objects that could damage the tent floor. Ensure the area is not subject to falling branches or rock etc.

If you have a footprint, lay it on the ground, shiny side up (there is a label on the footprint indicating which side should be up).

STEP 2
Unfold the tent and spread it out with the floor down. The Krypton is integral pitch so the inner and fly are attached to each other and there is no need to set up in the inner separately and then apply the fly.

STEP 3
If you are using the tent in high winds ensure the front (pointed end) of the tent is facing into the direction of the wind as this is the strongest part of the tent.

Anchor the point of the nose into the snow using a peg. This will ensure, if there is a strong wind, that the tent is secure. 

STEP 4
The Krypton has three poles: one major spine piece with a hub on one end and two shorter pole sets, one with a bend in the middle and the other being shorter and straight. 

 TIP
Unlike other Mont tents such as the Moondance range and the Dragonfly, the Krypton uses a combination of pole sleeves and clips for the pole attachment.

STEP 5
Assemble the poles, being careful not to let sections snap together hard as this can damage pole ends, and ensure the sections are engaged properly as breaks can occur otherwise.

The major spine pole should be the first piece to be inserted. Starting with the long straight section feed the pole into the pole sleeve starting at the square end (Opposite to pointed end). Take care when doing this to ensure the pole sections do not separate.

TIP
Ensure you only push and never pull, this will stop the pole sections separating.

STEP 6
Continue to feed the pole all the way to the front of the tent and ensure it is sitting snugly in the black reinforced pole sleeve end.

Leave the tent and the pole flat on the ground – do not engage the pole pieces into the eyelets of the tent yet.
