Kiwi Camping Weka 2 Configuration guide

Weka 2 Hiker Tent
Model No. KC072-105
1. Select a dry, level site and
clear the ground of any
sharp objects. Remove
the tent from it’s carry bag,
untie fabric ties and unroll
the tent. Save the fabric
ties to make packing away
the tent easier.
2. Spread out the floor of the
inner tent and peg out the
four corners ensuring that
the inner is pulled taut and
secure.
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags. Evenly lay out the
outer fly inside the tent inner leaving 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 onto the floor and roll them inside so that the floor
is on the outside. Store and pack the tent in it’s bag.
Your tent includes:
12 x pegs
4 x ropes
1 x GOLD aluminium pole (3490mm x 8.5mm)
2 x RED aluminium poles (2130mm x 8.5mm)
REVERSE THE PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE TENT
3. Lay out all three aluminium poles. You will have one
GOLD pole and two RED poles. Using the GOLD
pole, fit the pin and rings at each end of the tent into
the ends of the pole and clip on the speed clips.
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
To make sure the tent
stays in place, insert
the pegs into the
ground at a 45° angle.
Pitch the tent so it is
in line with the wind,
never side on.
4. Take one of the remaining RED poles and fit a pin
and ring with RED webbing into the pole. Clip the
other end of the pole into the eyelet with the RED
webbing above the opposite door. Clip on the speed
clips. Repeat with the second RED pole.
5. Carefully pull the fly over the top of the inner and
peg out the four corners. Opening both doors,
reach under the fly and attach any Velcro ties to
the poles. Once this is done, zip up the doors and
finish pegging out the fly.
6. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the
fly so it remains taut and positioned correctly over
the tent.

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 nor 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

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.
