Setting up the tent

A

I

Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the tent:

•

The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up 
will vary slightly based on the model of tent.

•

Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.

•

Thread the poles through the outer sleeves according to their color 
code.

•

After standing the tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if 
necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a 
rectangular shape.

•

Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting 
the shape.

•

Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if 
necessary use the runners to adjust.

Set up the tent as follows:

1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or 

footprint before unpacking.

2. Unpack the tent.

3. Separate and identify the different components.

4. Proceed as shown to set up the tent (fig.

Troubleshooting

I

Condensation

All tents suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the following 
conditions apply:

•

High air humidity 

•

High ground moisture

•

A drop in temperature

Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties, 
tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.

➤

Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.

➤

Install a waterproof groundsheet.

Disposal

ments when you send in the device:

The tent comes with general purpose pegs. These will 
be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground 
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.

•

Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the tent into the 
ground.

•
