Kiwi Camping Kingfisher 6 Recreational Tent 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. Open the pole bag and
remove the pegs, the two
GREY fibreglass poles and
two BLACK fibreglass poles.
Assemble these poles now.
3. Spread out the floor of the inner
tent and peg out the four main
corners first, ensuring that the
tent is pulled taut and square.
Unzip and open the doors to
make erecting the tent easier.
Pitch the inner so it is in line
with the wind, never side on.
4. Lay out the poles to match the
coloured trim on the power
mesh pole sleeves. Thread
the BLACK poles through the
sleeves across the bedroom.
Your tent includes:
29 x steel pegs (5mm D X 178mm L)
7 x ropes
2 x BLACK fibreglass poles (5700mm x 11mm)
2 x GREY fibreglass poles (4890mm x 9.5mm)
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Fit into the pin and ring fittings on the floor and erect the room
(this will take 2 people). The bedroom is now up.
5. Moving back to front repeat this
for the two remaining GREY poles.
Your inner is now erected.
6. Making sure the tent is sitting
evenly, attach the speed-clips onto
the corresponding poles and peg
out the remaining pegging points
on the inner.
7. Carefully pull the fly over the inner and peg out the 4 corners.
Opening all the doors reach under the fly and attach any fabric
ties to centralize the fly. This also helps the tent’s performance
in the wind. Once this is done, zip the doors up and finish
pegging out the fly.
8. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine-tune the fly so it remains
taut and positioned correctly over the tent.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
After you have removed the fly, lay it flat inside the tent. This
makes it easier to fold the tent. Pack the poles and pegs into their
bags. When folding the tent inner, leave all doors and windows
open. Fold the inner tent floor from each side to the centre and in
half again. Adjust to the length of the poles. Place the poles on the
floor and roll them inside so that the floor is on the outside. Store
and pack the tent in its bag.
REVERSE THE PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE 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 overstretched,
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 excessive force or other harsh cleaners to remove
marks from the 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.
