OZTENT Oxley 5 User manual

OWNER’S
MANUAL
75

Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters,
etc.) inside or within proximity of the Tent. Use of fuel-burning
products inside or within proximity of the Tent 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 Tent. This Tent is
made with ame resistant fabric but it is not reproof. The Tent
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 Tent 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 Tent is light shower proof
without the y but fully water proof only with the y installed.
VENTILATION
Maintain adequate ventilation inside the Tent 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 Tent. If possible, avoid setting the Tent on ground that is
already wet. If this is not possible keep the Tent well ventilated to
minimize humidity and condensation within the Tent.
PEGS AND ROPES
Peg down the Tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss
or injury to Tent users.
All Tents require pegging to prevent them from being blown
away in strong winds. Always anchor the Tent. Tent pegs and
ropes are supplied to safely setup the Tent 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 Tent at all times.
Tightly tensioning the Tent with attached ropes greatly increases
the Tent’s strength and stability. This will also reduce fabric sag-
ging and wrinkles and prevent rainwater from pooling.
USING A FLOOR SAVER
A Floor Saver keeps the Tent oor clean and dry and it minimises
oor wear and tear by protecting it from excessive abrasion.

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 Tent 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 Tent Fly. The Tent Fly
is designed to reduce the temperature dierence between the
inside and outside of the Tent. 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
Tent. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking fabric.
ZIPPERS
Be careful when using Tent 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.
CLEANING
If the Tent should requires cleaning, set it up and use a sponge
with warm water to clean. If further cleaning is required, a gar-
den hose can be used to wash o any remaining dirt. Do not use
detergent, soap, bleach, or have the Tent dry cleaned, as this may
remove the waterproong and/or damage the fabric. Allow the
Tent to air-dry completely before packing or storing.
STORAGE
Packing and storing the Tent while it’s wet or damp leads to pre-
mature breakdown of the canvas and coatings. Prolonged expo-
sure to moisture causes the waterproof layer to break down, be-
coming soft, sticky and no longer waterproof. Storing a wet Tent
can cause mildew to form on the fabric. Mildew will cause the
Tent to stain, smell, and may lead to the premature breakdown of
the waterproof coating. Dry the Tent thoroughly after every trip.
ANIMALS
To prevent damage from animals chewing holes in the Tent
fabric, never store food or cooking equipment in the Tent.
