TENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE TENT CARE INFORMATION AND
INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS TENT BEFORE USING
YOUR TENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1. Before you use your new tent, fully unpack and pitch it at home. It
is important to familiarise yourself with the set up procedure and the
various features.
2. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry, will drain
well if it rains and is protected from wind and other elements
3. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your
tent.
4. For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other person
to assist in pitching the tent.
5. Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Do not use
open flame or gas appliances in or near your tent.
6. Do not use aerosol sprays or any solvent based products in or around
your tent as these could damage the fabric or special coatings. These
products include but are not limited to: repellent spray, hair sprays,
alcohol, detergents, fly spray, petrol, kerosene etc.
7. Please note, the warranty on this tent will be deemed void if the
product is used for any purpose other than a
temporary, recreational
use shelter.
8. DO NOT leave tent pitched for weeks at a time as extended exposure
to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage and/or cause it to discolour.
Your tent will not be covered under warranty if you leave it up for many
weeks at a time. To avoid the risk of UV deterioration, site the tent
in a shaded area, where it will be protected from exposure to strong
sunlight.
9. Especially in windy conditions, it is essential that you attach guy ropes
and fasten them to the ground. We suggest you insert the pegs into
the ground at a 45° angle towards the tent, not straight down. Please
note, your tent will nor be covered under warranty if wind damage
occurs.
10. Hold the flaps up, when closing the doors, to take pressure off the
zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never over stretched, especially
as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
11. To clean your tent, only ever use a soft sponge and warm water.
DO NOT use excess force or other harsh cleaners to remove
marks from tent.
12. Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away
and ensure to store it in a dry environment.
13. Please note that the valves used on this product rely on a good air
seal which can fail and become ineffective if left under compression
whilst in storage. To reduce the chance of valve malfunction, the
valves should be fully unscrewed when the product is in storage.
Replacement valves are available from your stockist.
14. Please note, that the inflatable bladders are not repairable. Spare
inflatable bladders, with full instructions, are available to purchase
from your stockist.
15. Changing atmospheric conditions can make the air tubes appear to
lose or in some cases gain pressure. Commonly caused by rising
or lowering in ambient temperature. Should this occur, the tube will
simply require either a top up or release of excess pressure. We
recommend occasionally checking the pressure throughout the day
to ensue it is the correct psi. It should NOT be considered a sign of
leakage or puncture. However, where leakage is suspected, you
should firstly inspect the valve to ensure that no parts are cross-
threaded and that the air seals are in good condition and tight.
Removing a valve then re-fitting and re-inflating may help. If you
discover that a valve has become faulty or a bladder has developed
a leak, spares are available to purchase from your stockist.
IMPORTANT:
1. Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity
etc.) condensation may form on the inside of your tent fly.
Condensation can occur for many reasons including vapour from
your breath, perspiration, cooking nearby or wet clothing inside
your tent. This does NOT mean your tent is leaking through the
fabric. You can minimise condensation by opening windows
and airing out your tent during the day and by removing any wet
clothing/towels etc. Note that damage caused by condensation,
is NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
