Kiwi Camping Falcon 9 Configuration guide

1. Select a dry, level site and clear the
ground of any sharp objects. Remove
the tent from its carry bag, untie fabric
ties and unroll the tent.
2. Spread out the floor of the inner tent
and peg out the four main corners.
Ensure that the tent is pulled taut
and square. Proceed to peg out the
remaining pegging points. Unzip and
open the doors to make erecting the
tent easier. Pitch the tent so it is in line
with the wind, never side on.
3. Open the pole bag and
assemble the poles
grouping them by colour.

PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags, place into their separate
frame bag. Evenly lay out the fly inside the tent inner (this is best done
when the inner is still pitched) leaving all doors and windows open.
Replace the provided knuckle covers to protect the tent inner. Fold the
tent as shown below, forcing all of the air out the front door. Roll into
the tent bag provided.
Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and
store it in a dry environment.
4. Take the two GREEN fibreglass roof poles and feed through the
pole sleeves.
5. Feed the RED steel roof pole through the pole sleeve along the
top centre of the roof and connect into the tri knuckle at either end.
Note: Make sure metal pin locks into slot on knuckle, you may
have to twist pole from side to side.
6. Take the two WHITE curved steel roof poles,
attach into the corner quad knuckle at the
front and back of the tent. Ensure pin locks
into knuckle. Attach the speed-clips.
7. Take the YELLOW, GREEN and BLACK
steel roof poles and one at a time lock them in
to the knuckles on the side and corner of the
tent roof. Attach the speed-clips.
8. Take the four YELLOW fibreglass roof
poles and insert into the tri and corner
quad knuckles.
9. Proceed to insert the GREEN fibreglass roof
poles into the quad knuckles.
10. Take the four GREEN steel leg poles and insert into the side quad
knuckle. This will take 2 people to assemble. It is recommended
to erect adjacent corners first. Fit the bottom of each pole onto the
corresponding pin at the base of the inner so that the tent stands.
11. Take the remaining four YELLOW steel leg poles and insert them
into the remaining corner quad knuckle openings. Attach the
speed-clips. The inner tent is now pitched.
12. Carefully pull the fly over the inner making sure the windows and doors
line up. Attach the ties on the underside of the fly around the frame.
This will secure the fly and help the tent to perform better in the wind.
Once the fly is secure, zip the doors up and peg out the fly ensuring
there is an adequate gap between the inner and fly.
13. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the fly so it remains taut
and positioned correctly over the tent.
14. When pegging out the black PORCH poles, make sure the ropes are
at a 45° angle to pull the flap evenly. 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.
The longest porch pole goes in the centre.
15. Please read the care instructions for more product information about
your tent.
To make sure the tent stays in place,
insert the pegs into the ground at a
45° angle.

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. Handle the tent poles carefully. When unfolding and folding the
tent poles, do not allow the shock cord to pull and snap the ends
together. This can damage the poles ends and result in breakage
when the pole is tensioned.
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 not be covered under warranty
if wind damage occurs.
10. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your tent
is secure and to prevent damage to both yourself and the tent.
Check guy ropes/pegs daily.
11. Ensure there is an adequate gap between the fly and inner tent
to enable ventilation and to prevent condensation build up.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away
and ensure to store it in a dry environment.
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.
2. Try to avoid pitching your tent under trees as tree limbs, falling
leaves, sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from
the trees can cause damage to the tent fabric and its special
coatings resulting in leakage or discolouration.
