TENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL TENT CARE INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS
INCLUDED WITH THIS TENT BEFORE USING IT 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 tent.
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.
3. Only remove the tent pegs by pulling on the peg itself. NEVER pull on the
tent or the webbing loops to remove pegs as it could result in damage to the
tent or personal injury.
4. 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.
5. STORAGE:
NEVER store your tent wet or dirty (even for short periods of time).
NEVER store your pegs or poles inside your tent. Always use the separate
bags they are supplied in.
6. You may want to insure your tent against loss or damage.
