Kiwi Camping Moa 12 KC070-270 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 middle pegging
points and then 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.
Moa 12 Air Canvas Tent
Model No. KC070-270
Your tent includes:
1 x canvas tent (with air poles attached)
1 x canvas fly (with guy ropes and fasteners attached)
63 x steel pegs
1 x hand pump
5 x steel porch FRAME poles (1 x 22mm top arch, 2 x 25mm corner arches,
2 x 22mm straight poles)
1 x steel porch pole RIDGE (2800mm x 22/25mm)
2 x steel SIDE porch poles (1940mm x 19/22mm)
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Unscrew the valve cap on top of the
valve. Insert the pump hose into the
valve and inflate the air tubes from
the centre tubes outwards. 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. Make sure the tent is sitting evenly. You may need to adjust the
base of each air pole so it sits flat with the ground.
7. Rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the tent so it remains taut
and positioned correctly. Fold the porch off the roof.
8. Carefully pull the FLY over the tent. Secure the fly to the tent
by fastening the buckles on each corner first, then fasten and
tighten the remaining buckles.
9. Finally, peg out the black webbing straps, ensuring that
adequate tension has been applied to the rope adjusters to keep
the fly sitting securely. Ropes should not be too close to the tent,
ie. more angle means more tension.
10. Assemble all the porch poles. Installation of these poles
will require two people. Fit the porch roof RIDGE pole by
connecting to plastic lug at the tent end. Extend the pole out to
the length of the porch. Support ridge pole at the opposite end
while arched front porch FRAME is being fitted.
11. Fit the arched porch frame under the roof ridge pole and feed
pins through the eyelets at the front of the porch. Extend all
poles out until porch roof and front frame is taut. Secure frame
to the porch with hook and loop tabs.
12. Finish by installing SIDE poles and pegging out guy ropes. When
pegging out the steel porch poles, make sure the ropes are at a
45° angle to apply an even tension.
13. 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. Fold the dry fly and roll until it fits into the fly bag. Remove
pegs, leaving only the four corner pegs. Now deflate the air tubes
in the reverse order shown in the diagram. 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 the
corner pegs. Fold the tent as shown 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. Ensure you thoroughly pre-weather your tent before use to ensure
the longest life for your canvas tent.
3. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry and will
drain well if it rains and is protected from wind and other elements.
4. For best results, enlist the help of at least one other person to
assist in pitching the tent.
5. Support frames and canvas should be pulled taut, NOT over-
stressed.
6. Never pull the pegs out using the canvas. Always use a tent peg
remover or claw hammer.
7. Please note, the warranty on this tent will be deemed void if the
product is used for any purpose other than a temporary shelter.
8. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your tent.
9. Do not leave the tent exposed to direct sunlight for extended
periods. UV light is one of the most damaging elements for your tent.
10. Ensure there is an adequate gap between the fly and inner tent to
ensure adequate ventilation and to prevent condensation build up.
11. Your tent is ventilated for all normal conditions, however
condensation may occur in certain circumstances such as being
totally closed off in wet or humid conditions and steam caused
by cooking. If this does occur, thoroughly air the tent at the first
opportunity.
12. Make sure when closing doors that you hold the flaps up to take
pressure off the zips. Ensure that the tent is never over stretched,
especially as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
Never store your tent away damp and ensure it is stored in a
well-ventilated area, preferably off the floor. Should mildew spots
appear, brush them off before they become attached. Mildew
damage of any kind is not covered by our guarantee. DO NOT
use excess force or other harsh tools to remove soilage from
tent.
13. Like all assets canvas tents require regular care and attention
to give the life and service expected. Regular cleaning with an
abundance of clean water and a soft brush, especially after
exposure to salt water will preserve your tent’s life. Do not allow
bird droppings, earth or vegetable matter to remain in contact
with the fabric. NEVER USE SOAPS OR DETERGENTS.
14. Tents are not fire proof, if exposed to flame or high heat sources
they can ignite and burn. Always take care when using spirit or
gas appliances such as stoves and lanterns near your tent.
15. Some of these products contain chemicals, which can destroy
your tents proofing and cause it to leak. Avoid using aerosol
sprays and keep petrol, oil, solvents and other similar fluids
away from the fabric. Do not use these inside or around your
tent as any damage caused by these is not covered by our
guarantee.
16. Always remember that your tent is made from cloth, and should
not be compared with a house. It is waterproof under normal
conditions but in severe weather conditions some water may
penetrate. If you apply water proofing to your tent check that you
are applying the right one for your tent’s canvas type.
17. Make sure your tent is pitched properly and keep a close eye on
the weather, as we have no control over how and where the tent
is used or pitched. Extra pegs and ropes are recommended in
stormy conditions. Please note, wind damage is not covered by
our guarantee. Check and adjust guy ropes and pegs daily.
18. Tent fabrics are not 100% colourfast and some fading will occur
naturally, however; this does not affect the performance of the
fabric. Do not leave your tent up and unattended for extended
periods of time. Tents are not designed as permanent dwellings.
Tents are guaranteed for normal camping use only.
