Air OPUS OFC195B-102, Handbook

can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight and use for extended periods in strong 
sunlight will soon cause deterioration. UV degradation is not covered under the AIR OPUS

®

warranty. The warranty does not cover air tents used permanently or for display purposes. 

WEATHERING OF SPECIAL THREAD USED FOR SEWING

Your AIR OPUS

®

 tent has been manufactured using a special thread which expands and swells to 

close the holes made when stitching the product. The thread swells and expands when wet. 

It may take a few times for the holes to completely close. 

INFLATABLE TECHNOLOGY

The technology used in your AIR OPUS

®

 comprises of inflatable bladders, retained within a 

specially constructed grey tube which is held in position with a retaining sleeve within the tent/
flysheet. The zips on the grey sleeves are fastened with a fabric tie and should only be untied if 
you need to replace or repair a bladder. If you remove the ties fastening the zips, please ensure 
you secure the zips with the ties, in a closed position before re-inflation. 

IMPORTANT! UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE FASTENING TIES AND 
UNFASTEN ZIPS WHILE BLADDERS ARE INFLATED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS 
INSTRUCTION WILL RESULT IN BLADDER FAILURE. 

Please note that it may be necessary to monitor the AIR pressure in your AIR tubes from time to 
time, especially if the weather is fluctuating or the temperature is higher than average or colder 
than average.

Hot Weather

 - when the outside temperature rises it is probable that the pressure in the AIR 

tubes may increase and it will therefore be necessary to monitor the AIR tubes and release AIR 
using the external valves as required. 

Cold Weather

 - a drop of pressure should not be considered a leak or puncture until further

investigated. When the outside temperature drops it is probable that the pressure in the AIR tubes 
may decrease and it may therefore be necessary to monitor the AIR tubes and top up the AIR
pressure as necessary. 

A repair kit is enclosed with your AIR tent and includes an emergency repair patch for repair of 
small holes in your bladder. 

INFLATION

The white valve in your AIR OPUS

®

 Tent is your master valve. This  

valve is located on the centre AIR beam, positioned behind the  

   fridge. 

Ensure all external AIR valves are closed to allow for inflation and  

ensure all internal valves are open. 

   AIR 

OPUS

®

 inflatable tubes need 7psi of pressure to give a rigid 

support. Your AIR OPUS

®

 tent is supplied with a built in electric  

pump which is attached to the Master Valve and pre-set to inflate 

   to 

7psi.
