USE, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STAKING
Always stake out your tent using all points provided. Staking out your tent must
not be considered optional! Yes, your tent can easily be dragged by modest
winds. Tent stakes and guylines are included with your tent. The webbing loops
stitched into the seams above ground level stakeout points must be utilized to
ensure strength and stability of the tent (especially in broadside winds).
SNOW CONDITIONS
Be extremely careful when shoveling snow from around your tent, because the
shovel can easily tear the fabric. Never brush snow off your tent with any hard
objects, such as sticks, shovels, ice axes, etc.
ATTACHING OPTIONAL GROUND CLOTH
Fitted ground cloths are available for all Bibler Tents. Along the edges of the
ground cloths are reinforced loops. These can be used to attach the ground
cloth to the tent stakeouts so that it is secured under the tent. Tie a short loop
of cord through each of the ground cloth's corner loops. Slip this loop over the
corner tent stakeout when staking out the tent. The ground cloth can also be
used as a tarp—use the loops along the edges to suspend or anchor it.
CARE AND CLEANING
Tents and bivies must be stored dry. Storing your tent wet or damp will result in
the growth of mildew, which will cause your tent to smell, delaminate, and leak.
Mildew also attacks both the urethane coating of parts of the tent and the nylon
fabric, causing loss of strength and eventual breakdown. If you suspect mildew,
act right away. Washing with McNett MiraZyme™ cleaner will usually stop and
remove mild cases of mildew. Advanced mildew will not wash out. Mildew
damage is not covered under warranty.
Those living in wet climates should wash their tents and bivies in MiraZyme
once every two years, whether mildew is showing or not.
Do not dry clean or machine wash your tent. If lightly soiled, the floor and exterior
walls can be sponged clean with warm water. Never use detergents or liquid soaps
of any kind as they may cause the fabric to lose waterproofness.
ToddTex is a three-layer PTFE laminate. Like similar fabrics, it is important to
avoid contamination of the PTFE film. Take care to keep your tent clean and
12
english

away from oils, grease, and solvents, including sunscreens and mosquito
repellent, and you will be rewarded with years of good service. In order to
protect the fabric, remove all dirt and debris from inside the tent before storing.
To Wash: If it becomes necessary to wash the entire tent, avoid hot water,
bleach, dishwashing liquid or any type of liquid soap or detergent. Hand wash in
a bathtub using only cool water and MiraZyme, made by McNett™ Corporation.
This wash-in product cleans, eliminates odor, and helps to remove mildew. It
is available through Black Diamond Mail Order. Be sure your tent is totally dry
before putting it away. This may take 24 hours or more. DO NOT SPRAY OR
WASH YOUR TENT WITH ANY WATER REPELLENTS OR CLEANING AGENTS
OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY BLACK DIAMOND. Use of any
other agents may void your warranty.
ZIPPERS
Zippers require maintenance, especially if camping in sandy or dirty
environments. Sand and dirt in the zippers is the leading cause of failure. When
dirty, rinse your tent off with a hose, applying water pressure to the zippers to
wash off dirt. Application of a zipper lubricant such as McNett Zip Care™ will
aid in extending the life of your zippers. Even with this, if your zipper becomes
difficult to slide, it is important to repair it right away. Often just the sliders can
be changed out, restoring the zipper to near-new condition for a very small fee.
If you force worn-out sliders along the zipper chain, it will damage the chain,
requiring a much more expensive repair.
POLES
Our lightweight, fully shock-corded aluminum poles are incredibly strong, but
they are not indestructible. When used as recommended, they will not break.
The anodized finish helps protect against corrosion, but the poles should still
be carefully dried along with the tent before storage.
When setting up the tent, it is very important that the poles click together
properly. Ferrules that are not fully closed will result in the pole breaking when it
is flexed. The shockcord should be strong, aggressively pulling the pole together
into the proper position. Shockcords loose some elasticity when cold or wet.
Shockcords also become stretched out over time, and should be adjusted when
they become weak. Here’s how: The shockcord in the poles is adjustable—this is
one reason we do not put end tips on most of our poles. (For poles with end-tips,
use pliers to grasp the tip, and pull it out of the pole. The end tips are a force-fit.)
13
english

To tighten the shockcord, you will need a pair of needle-nose pliers, a pair of
scissors and a pair of forceps or an alligator clip (or another person). Snap the
pole out to its full length. Look in the end of the pole—you should be able to see
the cut end of the shockcord, maybe 1 cm (1/2 in) recessed into the pole. Grab
the end with the pliers. You might need to snag it and pull it out with needle nose
pliers, a sharp pencil or cut-off coat hanger. (If the end is not within reach on
either end, pull off the end segment at one end. From the body of the pole, pull
the shockcord as tight as possible, which should give you a foot or more of slack.
Push the slack into the bottom of the end segment until the end of the shockcord
appears at the top end.)
Don’t let go of the elastic. The shockcord is held in place by a knot jamming
against the ferrule inside the pole. Pull the shockcord out until the knot appears.
Pull it further, until a little more than the desired tightness is achieved. Tie the
same kind of overhand-knot, and work it back into the pole.
Fold up the pole. Does this length work? If it is too tight, the poles will be
difficult to fold up. If it is too loose, the pole will not snap together crisply.
Readjust the location of the knot if needed. When satisfied, snip the cord off
flush with the end of the pole.
POLE MAINTENANCE
Poles should be periodically inspected. While pole segments will take a bit of a
“set,” sharper bends or deflection of more than one pole diameter are reason
for concern. Look especially for bends at the ends of ferrules. Segments with
bends should be replaced.
To replace pole segments, measure the anodized (black) length of the pole and
determine whether your pole is one with or without a ferrule in one end. Order
replacement segments from Black Diamond Mail Order. Release the shockcord
and replace the segments. Be sure to keep the segments in the correct order
and orientation.
