Aura 2P Tent Set-Up Instructions

How to set up your Marmot® Aura 2P
Select a flat, level and protected site free from sharp rocks, twigs or other objects that could puncture the floor of your tent. Avoid pitching your tent in a low spot where water may collect if it rains.

Setting up the Tent Body

1. Spread the tent out floor side down and loosely stake out the four corners of the main tent body.
2. Carefully unfold all poles and begin assembling. Make sure that all the sections are fully joined together. Your pole system is fully connected with the shock cord system.
3. The Aura 2P pole structure consists of three poles, one long pole and two shorter poles of equal length, all of which are permanently connected together by plastic knee joints.
4. Identify the corners of the tent body with red webbing. Lay the long tent pole diagonally across the tent body with its tips at the corners with the red webbing. Insert the tips of the long pole into the grommets at these corners.
5. The long pole should be on top of the two shorter poles, and the flat side of the plastic knee joint should be facing up. The long pole will intersect the two shorter poles creating two X shapes.
6. Locate the grommets above the tent doors. Insert the tip of one of the short poles into a grommet at the tent corner. Insert the other end of the same pole into the grommet above the tent door. This pole should cross under the longer pole.
7. Repeat step 6 with the other short pole.
8. Once all poles are secured in their respective grommets, attach all tent clips to the tent poles.

Attaching the Flysheet

1. Unfold the flysheet and identify the inside of the fly. The inside is coated and the seam tape is visible.
2. Identify the red tabs on two corners of the fly and two corners of the tent body. Align the red tabs on the fly with the red tabs on the tent body, and drape the fly over the tent body.
3. The seams of the fly should closely align with the tent poles.
4. Identify the reflective guy-line tabs along the seams of the fly. There is Velcro under the tabs that will more securely attach the fly to the tent pole structure.
5. Once the four buckles are attached, tighten the webbing at the corners until the fly is taut.
6. Be sure the fly door is zipped closed before you stake out the vestibule. Use the large loop to stake out the vestibule. Use the adjustable webbing to tighten or release the tension.
