OZTENT BUNKER XL User manual

OWNER’S
MANUAL

Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters,
etc.) inside or within proximity of the Bunker. Use of fuel-burning
products inside or within proximity of the Bunker can result in the
accumulation of dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide
– a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that is slightly denser
than air. Breathing carbon monoxide could cause serious injury
or death.
Keep all ame and heat sources away from this Bunker. This
Bunker is made with ame resistant fabric but it is not reproof.
The Bunker fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with an
open ame or other heat source. Failure to keep all ame and
heat sources away from this Bunker may result in a re that could
cause serious injury or death.
Before using this product, read and fully understand:
(1) attached warnings; (2) the Owner’s Manual and all
accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these directions
could cause an unsafe situation leading to re, burns, severe
injury, or death.
WARNING
USING AND CARING
RAIN PROTECTION
Use the included y in heavy rain. The Bunker is light shower
proof without the y but fully water proof only with the y
installed.
VENTILATION
Maintain adequate ventilation inside the Bunker at all times.
CAMPSITE CHOICE
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of
falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, ash oods, avalanches,
strong winds, and other potential hazards, to reduce the risk of
loss or injury.
Select a site that’s level, well drained, and is protected from the
wind and other elements. Clear the campsite of sharp stones,
sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect the oor
of the Bunker. If possible, avoid setting the Bunker on ground
that is already wet. If this is not possible keep the Bunker well
ventilated to minimize humidity and condensation within the
Bunker.
PEGS AND ROPES
Peg down the Bunker properly at all times to reduce the risk of
loss or injury to Tent users.
All Bunkers require pegging to prevent them from being blown
away in strong winds. Always anchor the Bunker. Tent pegs and
ropes are supplied to safely setup the Bunker in most situations.
It may be necessary to purchase additional and/or specialized
pegs and ropes for use in extreme or varied soil conditions.
Maintain adequate ventilation inside the Bunker at all times.
Tightly tensioning the Bunker with attached ropes greatly
increases the Bunker’s strength and stability. This will also reduce
fabric sagging and wrinkles and prevent rainwater from pooling.

CONDENSATION
When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric
condensation can form. In most situations condensation can
be controlled by allowing air inside the Bunker to vent outside.
During periods of high humidity, such as during rain storms,
it may be dicult to prevent or reduce condensation. In these
situations ventilation could actually increase the condensation
by drawing in more humid air.
To reduce condensation use the included Bunker Fly. The Bunker
Fly is designed to reduce the temperature dierence between the
inside and outside of the Bunker. It is normal to nd the underside
of the y covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the oor inside the
Bunker. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking fabric.
ZIPPERS
Be careful when using Bunker zippers. Go slow when zipping.
Make sure to align the zipper tracks before sliding the zipper and
don’t exert excessive force on the zipper. If fabric gets caught
in the zipper, stop and slowly reverse the zipper to remove. A
silicone based lubricant may be used to improve zipping.
When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, it can cause abrasion and
damage to the zipper sliders. You can clean the zipper teeth by
rinsing them with water. The pressure from a regular garden
hose will push out small sand particles.
If cut appears on the Fly of the Bunker apply candle wax against
the ripped canvas to seal the hole and prevent of further tearing.
CLEANING
If the Bunker should requires cleaning, set it up and use a sponge
with warm water to clean. If further cleaning is required, a
garden hose can be used to wash o any remaining dirt. Do not
use detergent, soap, bleach, or have the Bunker dry cleaned, as
this may remove the waterproong and/or damage the fabric.
Allow the Bunker to air-dry completely before packing or storing.
STORAGE
Packing and storing the Bunker while it’s wet or damp leads to
premature breakdown of the canvas and coatings. Prolonged
exposure to moisture causes the waterproof layer to break
down, becoming soft, sticky and no longer waterproof. Storing a
wet Bunker can cause mildew to form on the fabric. Mildew will
cause the Bunker to stain, smell, and may lead to the premature
breakdown of the waterproof coating. Dry the Bunker thoroughly
after every trip.
ANIMALS
To prevent damage from animals chewing holes in the Bunker
fabric, never store food or cooking equipment in the Bunker.
