Kiwi Camping Falcon 9 Air Configuration guide

1. Select a dry, level site and clear
the ground of any sharp objects.
Remove the tent, pegs and
pump from the carry bag. Untie
fabric ties and unroll tent with
the floor facing down.
2. Spread out the tent and peg out
the four main corners ensuring
the tent is pulled taut and
square. Peg out the remaining
pegging points on the floor.
To make sure the tent stays
in place, insert the pegs into
the ground at a 45° angle. It is
recommended to pitch the tent
so it is in line with wind, never
side on.
3. Unzip and open the doors to
make erecting the tent easier.
4. There is an external valve
located on each air tube. Before
inflating, the valves need to be
screwed into the air tube.
Unscrew the valve cap on top
Falcon 9 Air Tent
Model No. KC072-702
Your tent includes:
57 x steel pegs
12 x ropes
1 x hand pump
1 x BLACK roof air beam (2160mm x 100mm)
2 x RED roof air beams (1360mm x 100mm)
4 x steel PORCH poles (1900mm x 16mm)
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
of the valve. Insert the pump hose into
the valve and inflate middle air tube first
and then the front and back air tubes.
You may need to help the tube stand up
so it inflates evenly and in the correct
shape. Make sure you only inflate to
the recommended pressure (6-8psi) as
over-inflation can lead to tube damage.
Replace top cap of the valve after
inflating each air tube.
5. It is recommended in hot weather that 6psi is used to allow
for the air to expand inside the air tubes. In cooler/windier
conditions 8psi is recommended. Please adjust the pressure
in the air tubes as the ambient temperature changes. Only use
the pump provided as it has a pressure gauge which shows the
recommended pressure (psi).
6. Inflate the three roof air beams. The
BLACK beam is for the centre room.
The RED beams are for the front and
end rooms. Unzip the roof lining and
insert the roof poles, lining up the hook
and loop tabs on both the air tube and
roof air beam. This will stabilise the
tent.
7. Making sure the tent is sitting evenly. You may need to adjust
the base of each air pole so it sits flat with the ground.
8. Carefully pull the fly over the inner making sure the windows and
doors line up. Secure the fly to the inner using the hook and loop
tabs. Proceed to peg out the pegging points on the fly ensuring
there is an adequate gap between the inner and the fly.
9. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the tent so it
remains taut and positioned correctly.
10. When pegging out the steel PORCH poles, make sure the
ropes are at a 45° angle to pull even tension on the flap. In
light rain you can remove the middle section to allow any water
build-up to run off. In heavy rain you may have to pull the door/
porch flaps down to keep your tent dry.
11. Please read the care instructions for more product information
about your tent.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE THE PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE TENT
Take down the porch poles, unzip any doors & windows and remove
the fly. Evenly lay out the dry fly inside the tent inner (this is best done
when the inner is still pitched) leaving all doors and windows open.
Deflate roof air beams and re-zip up inner roof. Unscrew the valve
caps releasing the air in the side air tubes. Make sure all the air
escapes and the doors are unzipped. Once the tent is deflated,
remove all pegs. Fold the tent as per below. Ensure that the air valves
are not obstructed to allow the remaining air to escape. To reduce the
chance of valve malfunction, the valves should be fully unscrewed
when the product is in storage.
Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and
store it in a dry environment

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. 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. To avoid the risk of UV deterioration, site the tent
in a shaded area, where it will be protected from exposure to strong
sunlight.
9. 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 nor be covered under warranty if wind damage
occurs.
10. Hold the flaps up, when closing the doors, to take pressure off the
zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never over stretched, 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 excess 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, with full instructions, 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 top up or release of excess pressure. We
recommend occasionally checking the pressure throughout the day
to ensue it is the correct psi. 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. Note that damage caused by condensation,
is NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
