Step 4 : Remove poles, top first, then
bottom.
Step 5 :Put poles back into bag and
place inside tent.
Step 6 :Remove ladder from tent.
Step 7 :Put ladder into bag.
Step 8 :Place ladder inside tent.
Be careful to not place ladder over
the front lip of the tent as this can
cause damage when closing the lid
of the tent.
Step 9 :Lift compression elastic to
middle of canvas.
Step 10 :Place pull-down strap
between elastic and canvas.
Step 11 :To close lid, pull strap
downwards. This may be done using
body weight rather than arm
strength.
Step 12 :Grab handle on roof when
it comes into reach, and use it to pull
the lid closed. Make sure the canvas
is tucked in on both sides before
closing. Also, make sure at least one
window is open when closing tent or
the trapped air makes closing very
difficult.
Step 13 :Secure lid by fastening
both catches.
Step 1 :Retrieve ladder bag with
pole bag inside.
Step 2 :Remove pole bag.
Step 3 :Even out bedding.
NOTES Avoid closing the tent while it’s still wet or damp. If this isn’t possible, take the opportunity to air and dry the tent at
the earliest opportunity.
Be careful to store the ladder against the rear of the tent before closing the lid.
Make sure the canvas is tucked on the sides when closing the tent. Failure to do so can lead to damage
If you’re loading items onto the roof, make use of the accessories rails and approved roof-racks or load bars. The
load bars are designed to carry a maximum weight of 50 kg. With this added weigh it requires more strength when
opening the tent as gas lifts only assist. The roof panels themselves are not designed to carry weight and will dent if
you place items onto them.
If your tent is equipped with an electrical kit (lights & power points), make sure these are turned off and unplugged
during transit/storage.
