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.

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

For repair and warranty processing, please include the following docu-
ments when you send in the device:

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.
