N O TES/TIPS:
!
Always open net door completely before entering. Sit in the middle of the
hammock with both feet on ground. Carefully swi ng feet in and lie down.
Reverse steps to exit. Never step or jump in.
The bowline knots recommended for tying your hammock ropes tighten
with use, but may be slightly loosen when hammock is new or hasn’t been
used recently. Before you enter the hammock, always check knots and
tighten ropes as necessary.
One person at a time in the hammock — weight limit 275 lbs.
Don’t leave children unattended in the hammock. This is not a toy;
children should use the hammock only with adult supervision.
Keep hammock away from fire or flame. Parts of the hammock have been
treated with fire retardant, but the hammock & rainfl y will burn if kept in
contact with flame or high heat source.
If using the hammock in colder temperatures, attach the rain fly
to help contain body heat. For added insulation, secure a sleeping bag or
emergency blanket to the hammock floor or an under-quilt beneath the
hammock.
To protect trees, wrap your hanging rope around several times
For lounging without bug netting, take arch poles out (flip hammock
over if desired).
Tie off/stake down the four corners with cord (attach cord to the
black, webbing loop tabs where arch poles connect to grommets)
for increased stability.
CARE:
!
Your Blue Ridge Camping Hammock has been seam sealed, and the rainfly,
buffer zone and bottom are urethane coated. Check every season that the
seams are still sealed; apply additional sealer if necessary. Seam sealing is
made easier by hanging the hammock to reach all inside seams. Be sure to
liberally coat all areas of higher stress, such as the head and foot of
hamm ock.
Before putting away, be sure that both the hammock and rainfly are dry
and free of debris. Store in a dry place away from heat . Do not store on
concrete, which contains chemicals that can harm the hammock fabric
and its finish.
Avoid contact with substances that can compromise the fabric & coating,
such as solvents, hair & insect spray, fruit juices, etc.
To clean, hand wash with mild soap and rinse well with clean water. Do not
use strong detergents or wash in a machine.
Lubricate the zipper with silicone if necessary. Do not attempt to force a
jammed zipper — this could ruin the zipper tab as well as the fabric. Keep
the tab clean and free of dirt or sand.
If the material should rip, use a rip-stop/tent repair tape to patch.
Seam sealer will close small holes. Discontinue use if grommets come out
— hammock bed could rip.
Do not hang gear from, sit on, or otherwise add weight or stres s to the
spreader bars, as they may break.
