IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 Please do not leave for your holiday without fully erecng and
checking you have all the contents for your tent. If you are missing
anything please contact your retailer immediately before use.
 Please also note that manmade fabrics are prone to condensaon
when the warm air and moisture inside the tent comes into contact
with the colder outside of the tent fabric. You may also experience
condensaon in the tube sleeves. This is a perfectly natural
occurrence and should not be confused with leaking. Ensure all Vortex
Vents are open whenever possible to help combat condensaon.
 Ideally erect your tent for some period before use - allowing it to
weather. ‘Weathering’ can take a few uses of the tent before it is fully
eecve. Seam sealant can be used to solve any persistent weeps. This
process is completely normal.
 Make sure before erecng, that you site the tent on clear level ground
with no sharp objects underneath, and that all the zips are fully closed.
(We recommend laying a groundsheet down to keep the tent dry and
clean).
 We suggest conducng a trial run of your tent to familiarise yourself
with the set up and use of the tent. If you have any issues relang to
pitching your tent please contact your dealer for help before going on
holiday.
 Aer use always dry and air the tent before packing away to prevent
mildew or mould.
 Any dirt or stains can be removed by brushing or gently washing with
warm water. DO NOT use detergents as this will destroy the
waterproong on the fabrics.
 DO NOT cook or smoke in this tent; although the outer fabric is ame
retardant treated it will sll melt.
 In the event of damage; please contact your retailer. If you cannot get
in touch with them use our contact form on our website www.outdoor
-revoluon.com and our customer service team will be happy to assist.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ERECTION
INSTRUCTIONS CAREUFULLY
1. Spread the ysheet out on the
ground in the place you want to
pitch it.
2. Peg down the eight corners of the
tent using the adjustable pegging
points. This keeps the tent in place
whilst you inate it. You may need to
re-adjust them aerwards.
3. Before inang any of the AirFrame
Tubes make sure the Dynamic Speed
Valve quick release buons are pressed
out. This makes sure the air will be held
inside the Airframe.
4. Next, aach the pump to the rst of
the ve Dynamic Speed Valves and
begin to carefully inate - taking care
that no part of the fabric is caught any-
where. We suggest you inate the
three bedroom Airframe tubes rst.
TIP: Refer to the photograph to help when pitching your Airedale 12.0

6. Repeat steps four and ve with the
other four AirFrame Tubes. Then re
place the caps and cover with the
Velcro sleeve to keep the outside of
the tent looking neat and dy.
7. Peg out and tension the tent. Use the
adjustable pegging straps to tension the
tent as you desire. Make sure you don’t
over tension the fabric. If a door zip is too
ght, release some tension before
closing, never force the zip.
5. Inate the Airframe unl you can give it a
good squeeze. The tube needs to have room
inside for air to expand. Don’t worry if you do
keep inang - the Intelligent Frame will re-
lease any excess air. (Please note the Intelli-
gent Frame is set to a limit of 5.5psi before it
will release air).
8. Locate the pole for the front canopy.
Thread the slightly curved secon
through the sleeve and then aach the
two legs to either side. Place the metal
pin in the boom of the pole, stretch out
and peg out. Use the guylines to peg it
ght.

PACKING AWAY YOUR TENT
 Zip up all the windows and doors before deang.
 Unpeg the guy lines, storm straps and most of the pegs around the tent
- leaving the four corners pegged out.
 Open each of the Dynamic Speed Valves in turn and press in the quick
release buon. Leave the buon pressed in.
 Remove the nal pegs.
 Lay the tent at on the ground and push as much air out of it as
possible.
 Fold the tent lengthways from
the opposite ends to the valves
to push all the air out. Make a
long thin sausage shape.
 Begin to roll the tent as ght as
possible towards the valves to
expel all the air as you roll.
 Place the rolled tent on to the
bag and pull the sides up round
it. Finally, Zip up the bag.
 Measure the width of the bag
up against the width of the
folded tent to make sure the
tent is going to t.

WARNING: Never unzip the zips on the protecve
sleeves whilst the AirFrame Tubes are inated. This will
result in the tube bursng or ballooning out of the
sleeve causing damage to the tube and the sleeve.
This is not covered under the warranty.
9. Lay out the inner tents inside the tent
and posion them in the correct places
with the bedroom doors facing into the
tent. Start at the back of the bedroom
and work forward clipping it in to the
black clips on the oor and elascs along
the tubes.
10. Finally. peg out the Reecve
Endurance Storm Straps for extra
stability. Please make sure in heavier
weather you use all the guy lines and
storm straps to hold the awning in place.
8. Peg out all the remaining pegging
points and guy lines starng from one
corner and work your way round.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
If you have a small puncture in your Air Frame Tube you can easily repair it using the
standard puncture repair kit.
 To remove the Air Frame Tube - deate the tube and then unzip the two pro-
tecve sleeves over the tube and pull the Air Tube out. Do not unzip the
sleeves whilst the tube is inated.
 Locate and repair the puncture on the Air Frame Bladder.
 Place the Air Tube back in to the sleeves in the correct place with the valves in
the valve hole. Make sure the Tube is straight and not twisted.
 Zip the two sleeves back up fully.
 Inate the AirFrame Tube again, ensuring that the puncture has now been
repaired.
 If this process doesn't work you may have to buy a new bladder.
**Spare AirFrame Bladders can be bought to replace damaged ones. Visit the Spares
Secon at www.outdoor-revoluon.com or contact us on 01924 455313**
**Awnings will not be replaced because of damaged bladders**
PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION
The Air tube keeps
deang aer
removing the pump.
The Dynamic Speed Valve buon
hasn't been pressed back out.
Press the quick release buon
back out to shut the valve.
The tent is leaking. The tent requires weathering two or
three me before it fully seals itself
so you may experience a lile bit of
weeping.
This could also be condensaon, an
inevitable occurrence.
Allow the tent to get wet then
dry two or three mes.
Open all the vents to increase
air ow and reduce
condensaon.
Bowing and Twisng
of the tubes.
The tubes can twist inside the
sleeves, parcularly when packing
away so next me the tube bows.
Unzip the sleeve whilst the
tube is deated and
re-posion the tube.
