INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND SAFETY WARNINGS EN
KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT
Keep the Tent away from sources of heat and open flames.
Please do not place any sources of heat directly under the roof
because the materials can melt at high temperatures.
PROTECT FROM STRONG WINDS
The GYBE Humanity Tent should not be used at wind speeds over 5 Beaufort (21
knots / 24 mph).
The tent can catch wind even without having the side panels in place.
With winds in excess of 13 mph, water- and sandbags do not offer sufficient weight.
Tent pegs or stakes must be used. (Stakes are not included).
In order to prevent the tent from being moved by gusts of wind, place at least one side
panel on the wall facing the wind. That way the wind won‘t be able to enter the tent.
→ GYBE does not accept any liability for improper use of GYBE products.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
STORE IN A DRY PLACE
Never store the tent when it is wet.
Be sure the tent is stored dry between 0 – 30 °C. (32 – 90° F.).
CLEAN CAREFULLY
Rough, dry dirt is best removed with a fine hand brush or a wet cloth.
Crusted residues with sharp edges can damage the tent fabric.
The materials should only be cleaned with clear water or with highly diluted detergent.
Handle printed materials especially carefully. If you have any doubts, check on an
inconspicuous spot if the cleaning agent reacts corrosively with the tent surface.
Some of the tent materials are coated with water-resistant and flame-retardant layers.
Strong scrubbing or solvent-containing cleaning agents can ruin these layers!
→ GYBE does not accept any liability for improper use of GYBE products.

Turn the inflation valve (4) so that it
is accessible.
Fasten a water- or sandbag to the foot of
the tent where you find the inflation valve.
(Attaching water- or sandbags: →page 25)
Remove your tent from the transport
backpack. Unfold the rolled-up tent just
once in the middle.
Fully unroll all parts of the support structure
in every direction.
Close all deflation valves (3).
Then flip the tent over, so that the roof
is facing up.

Attach the compressed air hose to the
inflation valve.
Regardless of the speed of ination, the tent
will begin to stand up by itself.
With some gentle lifting, the tent will be
guided to its nal form.
Finally, close the overpressure release valve.

Before inating the tent, be sure to open the
cap on the overpressure release valve (5).
Now you can attach the guy ropes
(→page 29), side panels (→page 24),
and water- or sandbags (→page 25)
as needed.

ATTENTION
Be sure not to let the internal pressure of the
strut exceed 6  (0.4 ).
Tip: The ideal pressure for the strut is
between 4 and 5  (0.25 and 0.35 ).
The overpressure release valve is a supplemental
backup safety feature. If the pressure in the
strut is too high, air will escape through this
valve.
When inflating the tent, be mindful of the
overpressure release valve. If air is escaping,
you should reduce the rate of inflowing air.

Spread out the side panel parallel to the tent.
The starting point of the zipper is always
located on the left edge of a side panel.
The starting point of the tent-side zipper is just
under the roof panel, and has to be pulled up a
bit with the left hand (1).
The beltstraps on the lower part of the panel
are intended to prevent the zipper from being
forced open by strong winds.
Pull the beltstrap through the square-shaped metal
ring on the tent foot, and fasten it to the side panel (3).
The beltstraps should be pulled to the point of
a light tension.
While pulling the zipper up, please be sure
that the leading edge of the side panel is
guided by hand (2), in order to ensure a
problem-free zip-up.
For strong winds, the side panels need to be
fixed to the ground. Use tent pegs, placing them
through the loops (4) found on the bottom edge
of the side panel. (Tent pegs are not included)
Please be sure that the pegs are placed deeply
and angled, so that they can withstand a greater
load.

The filled water- or sandbags are placed on
the ground or floor. Make sure that the zipper
of the sandbag, or the valve of the waterbag,
is facing up.
Prepare the connectors (soft shackle 1) as
indicated in the illustration.
1 2
Place the tent foot roundly on the water- or
sandbag. While doing so, pull the soft shackle
upward and through the eyelet on the tent
foot.
Now slip the loop of the soft shackle over
the plastic ball.
The loops of the soft shackles will pull tight
under the weight, keeping a tight hold on the
plastic ball (3).

For attaching the Fusion Panels, two tents
are to be placed next to each other at about
6.5 feet distance.
One of the tents should already be firmly
fastened to the ground, for instance with the
water- or sandbags as described on →page 9.
Pull the zipper around to the lower right
corner and fasten it at both corners with the
beltstraps.
Lay out the Fusion Panel next to the tents. The
starting point of the zipper is always located on
the left edge of a Fusion Panel.
The starting point of the tent-side zipper is just
under the roof panel, and has to be pulled up a
bit with the left hand (2).
Now place the second tent as close as possible
to the rst one. Attach the Fusion Panel, starting
once again from the lower left side (4).
Fasten the corners with the beltstraps.

ATTACHING FUSION PANELS
Fasten the tent feet of the second tent to the
ground using the water- or sandbags.
Tip: If you want to set up the Fusion Panel
without any wrinkles, you need to increase the
tension between the tents, perhaps using the
guy ropes provided.

NOTES FOR OUTDOOR USE
In order to prevent the tent from being moved
by gusts of wind, place at least one side panel
on the wall facing the wind.
That way the wind won‘t be able to enter the tent.
WARNING
The GYBE Humanity Tent can catch wind
even without having the side panels in
place.
At wind speeds of 4 Beaufort (15 knots /
13 mph), water- and sandbags do not
offer sufficient weight. Tent pegs or stakes
must be used.*
For outdoor use, be sure the tent always
has solid footing.
At wind speeds over 5 Beaufort
(21 knots / 24 mph) the tent must no longer
be used!
EN

11
The highest level of stability is attained when
the guy ropes are aligned with the diagonally
opposite tent feet.*
In order to secure the tent against wind loads,
it is necessary to fasten it with guy ropes.
Keep the angle relatively small, so that the
point of fastening is as far as possible from
the tent foot.
* (Stakes are not included).
ATTACHING GUY ROPES EN

12
For taking the tent down, open the velcro strap
at one of the lower release valves (1), so that the
valve plug is accessible.
Open the deflation valve (1).
The strut will immediately begin to deflate.
Repeat this procedure with the other two strut
elements, until the tent has completely deflated.
Now turn the tent upside down, so that the
roof is facing down and the valves up.
Open the four deflation valves nearest the
crosspoint (3).
Roll the tent together starting from the feet
and working towards the center.
As you go, the air escapes through the opened
deflation valves in the middle.
