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. 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 not be covered under warranty if
wind damage occurs.
9. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your tent is
secure and to prevent damage to both yourself and the tent. Check
guy ropes/pegs daily.
10. When closing the doors, hold the flaps up to take pressure off the
zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never overstretched, 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 excessive 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 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 topup or release
of excess pressure. 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.
2. Try to avoid pitching your tent under trees as tree limbs, falling
leaves, sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from the
trees can cause damage to the tent fabric and its special coatings
resulting in leakage or discolouration.
3. Only remove the tent pegs by pulling on the peg itself. NEVER pull
on the tent or the webbing loops to remove pegs as it could result
in damage to the tent or personal injury.
4. 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.
5. STORAGE:
NEVER store your tent wet or dirty (even for short periods of time).
NEVER store your pegs or poles inside your tent. Always use the
separate bags they are supplied in.
6. You may want to insure your tent against loss or damage.
