Installation takes around 20 minutes, and only two operators are needed to
assemble and dismantle the SmartShell shelter.
1. Remove the shelter from its carry bag
2. Laying out the inflatable on the ground

3. Assembling the modules
✓Zip the modules together. Refer to the labels to zip the modules in the right
direction. The red labels must be assembled, and the same applies to the
green labels.
4. Open all the clamps and close all the caps
Make sure all the clamps are open.
Inside each structure are several inflatable bladders connected together by
tubes that can be closed with clamps. Together they form the "OnePump"
system.
This system allows you to inflate the module at a single point (when the clamps
are open), but also to block the propagation of any loss of pressure on one of
the tubes (when the clamps are closed).
IV - INSTALLATION
"Clamp" open : allows air to
pass through (inflate/deflate
position)
"Clamp” closed: does not let air
through (position when the
structure is inflated)

to the bladder.
5. Installing the cover
✓Zip the cover over the structure, making sure it is
zipped in the right direction using the colored labels.
Zips to leave open
WARNING :
Before inflating the structure, make sure that
all the ZIPs on the pediment doors are open
to remove any stress from the curve of the
structure and avoid tearing.

6. Inflating the structure
✓Unscrew the top crown of the plugs to insert the inflation pumps. Two
pumps are required per module.

The structure is inflated when it is rigid.
✓You can then turn off the pump and close the plugs.
✓Start inflation by pressing the pump's "main motor"
mode (yellow button) and allow the air to spread for
1 to 2 minutes.
✓Then press the pump's "boost" mode (red button) to
continue inflation.

✓Switch off the LEDs (if present), then detach the straps holding the curved
structure in place.
✓Deflate the structure by unscrewing the lower crown of the plugs.
WARNING : Do not attempt to deflate the structure with the inflation
pump! You risk damaging the plastic inner tube that is slipped inside each
flange.
✓Remove the cover by unzipping it.

1- Uses involving risks
✓Do not use machinery or sharp equipment
near the shelter, as this could damage it.

flammable or corrosive products, as this
may damage the structure.

2- Maintenance tips
Covers should be folded appropriately to maintain their watertight
properties and prevent damage during storage.
You can hose down the shelter (avoid pressure washing). Wait for the
shelter to dry before storing it in the transport bag.
Inflation is guaranteed for 48 hours. Before each use, check the inflation.
A repair kit is included in your PACK.In the event of an inner tube leak,
remove the tube from the textile sleeve, paying attention to the eyelets at
the ends.
These "eyelet" fasteners take the form of transparent plastic caps.
Clean the leak area with rubbing alcohol and leave to dry for 1 minute.
Finally, apply the self-adhesive patch, pulling the bladder taut. Press the
patch back and forth until it adheres, then replace the bladder in the textile
sleeve, fastening the ends securely.
To ensure that the repair is complete, perform an initial inflation by isolating
the freshly repaired bladder from the rest of the structure.
