Safety Advice
Attention
In some countries approval is needed to set up a tent larger than 75 m2. It is your responsibility
to comply with local rules and regulations and to ensure that the tent is assembled correctly.
In case of bad weather conditions, it is your responsibility to ensure the tent is safely secured
and that the tent does not cause damage to others.
Do not use open re, welding equipment or other sources which can ignite, inside or close to the
tent.
The tent must be safely secured. We recommend you secure your tent with straps and pegs as
soon as it is assembled.
Make sure to check if the tent is covered by your home contents insurance.
Tents must be evacuated under extreme weather conditions.
In the event of snow, always remove snow from the roof of the tent regularly to prevent snow
from building on the roof, as heavy snow can cause the tent to collapse.
In the event of rain, there is a risk of rain puddles building up on top of the roof of the tent.
Heavy rain puddles can cause the roof to collapse. It is your responsibility to ensure rain
puddles do not build up. As a precaution, make sure the roof of the tent is stretched out
properly and adequately over the side frames of the tent and remove rain water regularly.
Do not unpack or repack your tent in freezing temperatures. In case of temperatures below
zero, always unpack and repack your tent indoors to avoid the risk of cracking parts.
The tent must be totally dry before you repack and store it to avoid mildew.

Maintenance and care
Annually or more often, the unit should be completely inspected internally and externally to make
certain the unit remains properly installed and secured .Particular attention should be paid to:
Hardware-check all carriage bolts and hardware connectors to be certain they are in place and
tightened.
Weather trends, the unit will strain against the base plate flange under windy conditions, pegs
hardware, connection to frame members should be maintained tight and depth of pegs should be
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.
Snow Accumulation -All snow accumulation on the main cover should be removed as soon as
possible. Tap the main cover from the inside with a broom or soft brush to clear cover.
Main Cover Lacing-the poly rope that secures the main cover to the bottom rail of the frame
assembly should be checked, and adjusted as needed. The tension on the main cover should be
uniform from end and side to side. Rope ends must be tied off onto the frame members at the ends
on each side.
Cleaning -cover and doors can be cleaned with a mixture of light detergent and water. A soft bristle
brush with the mixture can be used to loosen any hard dirt, mold, or buildup on the cover. After
cleansing, the cover should be rinsed thoroughly to avoid any chemical reaction from residual
detergent. Allowing dirt and debris to sit on cover over an extended time will damage cover
irreparably.
