  1. Spread the poncho flat on the ground, making sure that the hood opening is tightly closed and is on the groundside.
  2. Place liner on poncho, matching the tie laces on liner with the grommets on the poncho and tie together.
  3. If the poncho and liner combination is to be used as a sleeping bag, snap the sides of poncho together along their entire length and tuck the foot end under to keep the feet from sticking out. CAUTION: Do not fasten the snap fasteners together when used as sleeping bag in combat areas; it cannot be opened quickly.
  4. Poncho and liner combination can be used as a warp-around sleeping bag or as a blanket.
  5. The liner, without the poncho, can be used as blanket when sleeping under cover or in a jungle hammock.
  6. Keep liner away from open fire and spark. DO NOT SMOKE in bed when using liner as a blanket or sleeping bag.
  7. When necessary, liner can be hand laundered. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Do not boil.
  8. Do not dry clean.
