THE ELASTIC LOOPS AND TOGGLES SHOULD BE SIMPLY FED THROUGH THE
CORRESPONDING LOOPS AND RINGS ON THE FLYSHEET. OPEN THE DOOR OF THE
INNER TENT KNEEL OR CAREFULLY STAND ON THE GROUNDSHEET STARTING AT THE
BACK CONNECT ALL THE LOOPS AND RINGS ON THE REAR POLE SECTION WORK
FORWARD UNTIL THE INNER IS COMPLETELY SUSPENDED.
REPEAT THIS FOR EACH REMAINING INNER TENT.
PLEASE NOTE THE TOTAL WEIGHT LOADING OF ALL POCKETS ON THE FRONT OF THE
INNER TENT SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3 KGS.
YOUR TENT IS NOW READY FOR USE, ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY.
A SET OF UPRIGHT CANOPY POLES ARE PROVIDED WHICH ALLOW EITHER THE FRONT
OR BACK DOORS TO BE ERECTED AS A SUN CANOPY IF SO DESIRED.
AS WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE BOTH DRAMATICALLY AND QUICKLY WE
RECOMMEND THAT YOU PITCH YOUR TENT READY TO ACCEPT ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER
CONDITIONS. THE FRONT AND OR SIDE DOOR CANOPIES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UP
OVERNIGHT OR WHILST THE TENT IS UNATTENDED. GUY LINES ARE ATTACHED TO YOUR
TENT AND SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES.
TAKING YOUR TENT DOWN
STRIKING CAMP IS BASICALLY A COMPLETE REVERSAL OF THE ERECTION
PROCEDURE.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN RELEASING SHOCKCORDED POLES FROM THEIR
MOUNTINGS AS THE TENSION IN THE POLE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY IF THE
POLE IS NOT DISMANTLED IN A CONTROLLED MANNER.
IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO PUSH SHOCKCORDED POLES THROUGH AND OUT OF THE
SLEEVES RATHER THAN TO TRY AND PULL THEM THROUGH. AGAIN TAKE CARE NOT
TO DAMAGE THE SLEEVES WITH THE POLE ENDS OR FERRULES WHILST REMOVING
THEM FROM THE FLYSHEET.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO STRIKE CAMP WHEN YOUR TENT IS COMPLETELY DRY,
HOWEVER THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
SHOULD YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR TENT DOWN WET, THEN IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
IT IS DRIED OUT COMPLETELY WITHIN 24 HOURS.
A WET TENT WILL GO MOULDY
CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO COTTON COMPONENTS.
FOLDING YOUR TENT
1: IN ORDER TO MAKE A NEAT AND TIDY PACKAGE, THAT WILL FIT EASILY INTO THE
OUTER BAG, ALWAYS HAVE THE OUTER BAG CLOSE AT HAND WHILST YOU ARE
FOLDING THE TENT UP.
2: IT IS BETTER TO FOLD THE FLYSHEET UP FIRST, INTO A LONG RECTANGLE. MAKE
THE RECTANGLE APPROXIMATELY 10 CMS SHORTER IN WIDTH THAN THE OUTER
BAG.
3: AFTER BRUSHING OR WIPING THE INNER TENT GROUNDSHEET TO ENSURE IT IS
CLEAN AND DRY, PLACE THE FLYSHEET ON TOP OF THE INNER TENT.
4: FOLD THE EDGES OF THE GROUNDSHEET IN SO TO COVER THE FLYSHEET IN THE
MIDDLE, MAKE SURE THAT THE OVERALL PACKAGE IS AGAIN ABOUT 10 CMS
SHORTER IN WIDTH THAN THE OUTER BAG.
