• Please also familiarise yourself with the fire  
  safety regulations on site (e.g. at the camp- 
  site).
• Keep the exit free! Do not block the exit with  
  objects.

Precautionary measures 

against fire

The following common sense rules must 

be followed in order to camp safely: 

• Do not place any switched on electronic appli- 
  ances near the walls, roof, or curtains. 
• Always follow the safety instructions for these  
  appliances.
• Never allow children to play close to the  
  appliances while they are switched on. 
• Leave the passageways free. Do no block the  
  exits with objects. 
• Inform yourself about fire safety facilities and  
  provisions on the site.

Pay attention to the weather and its 

effects

• When choosing a location for the article,  
  always consider local circumstances and how  
  these could change. Is the location in a place  
  that will flood if it rains? Please take any rising  
  river levels or tides into account.
• Protect the product from strong wind and  
  storms. Place the product in a place that is  
  protected from the wind if possible. 
• Exchange the normal tent pegs for special  
  storm tent pegs in advance of strong winds.  
  Get information on useful additional products  
  at your specialist retailer.
• Dismantle the tent before heavy snow or  
  storms.
• Remove snow from the product. Otherwise the  
  product can collapse under the weight.
• Do not erect the tent too tightly as it will be  
  unable to adapt to changing weather condi- 
  tions and could be damaged.
• Zippers are wearing parts and are not inclu- 
  ded in the guarantee.
• The polyester material of the tent is made of  
  water-resistant material.

• It is possible that the tent is not completely  
  watertight for the first rain. However the water  
  will cause the threads in the tent to contract  
  and the tent will then become waterproof after  
  a short time.
• In moisture and rain the tent fabric will ex- 
  pand at different rates and make it necessary  
  to re-tighten the guy-ropes. When the material  
  tightens again during drying the guy-ropes  
  need to be loosened again in good time.
• Do not use insect spray in or on the tent.
• Small leaks on seams can be resolved with  
  seam spray and waterproofing spray can be  
  used for the awning.

Assembly

NOTE!

Perform a test assembly before the camping trip. 
In doing so, ensure that all the accessories are 
present.

Selecting a location for  

placing the tent

Choose a place that is as flat and clean as 
possible. Avoid dips in the ground.
Remove stones, branches and other sharp ob-
jects in order to prevent damage to the tent floor. 
Use natural shade, such as hedges, rocks, etc.
Use the appropriate pegs for sandy ground in 
order to prevent accidental loosening of the 
tension.

NOTE!

Insert the pegs into the ground at a slight angle 
to achieve good strength but without causing 
tension in the tent surface. The tent material and 
tension points should only be slightly taut, so that 
it can compensate for pressure from the wind. 
Ensure that there is not too much pressure on the 
tent. Check the tent tension according to weather 
condition.

NOTE!

Water condensation occurs basically in every 
tent, however particularly during strong fluctu-
ations in temperature. After a night in the tent, 
there will be drops of condensation on the inner 
wall. Condensation is not evidence of leakiness. 
Good ventilation reduces condensation in the 
tent.
