Warning
Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc.) inside or within proximity
of this tent. Use of fuel-burning inside or within proximity of this tent can result in the accumulation
of dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide - a colourless, odourless gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide will cause serious injury or death. Avoid spraying your tent with deodorant as it will destroy the
waterproofing.
Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent. This tent is made with flame resistant fabric but
it is not fireproof. The tent fabric will burn if le in continuous contact with an open flame or other heat
source. Failure to keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent can result in a fire that can burn.
Before using this product, read and fully understand: (1) attached warnings; (2) the instruction manual
and all accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation
leading to injury.

Setting Up Your Oztent
Step 1: Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning,
flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury
to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements.
Clear the area of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor.
If possible, avoid setting the tent on ground that is already wet. If you can’t, minimize the resulting
humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well ventilated.
We also recommend that you consider some form of ground sheet/protection to minimize wear, tear
and damage to the floor of your tent. The Oztent SV-5 Max Mesh Floor Saver is an option you may wish
to consider. If you are using a ground sheet/floor saver, ensure that you peg it down before setting up
your tent.
Step 2: Lay Out Your Oztent SV-5 Max
2.1 Unpack your tent. Place the poles, pegs/stakes, tarp extension and fly somewhere clear of your
tent space.
2.2 Release the strap around your tent.
2.3 Unroll the tent and then swing out both arms, one at a time.

SV-5 Max Owner’s Manual
Step 3: Setting Up Your Oztent SV-5 Max
3.1 If you are using the fly (recommended), attach the fly to the zipper located on the upper forward
edge of the tent. This is easiest to do when the tent is still laying on the ground.
3.2 Using the strap attached to the middle of the frame, li the frame up and over your head.
3.3 While supporting the tent, gently slide the bracing arm on either side of the tent into its ‘lock’
position.
3.4 Attach the Velcro tabs located below the bracing arm. This ensures that the tent is not
accidentally collapsed.
3.5 Ensure the tent is in the best position and that it sits correctly. Secure all the bottom peg points,
take the attached guy ropes and peg them down.

SV-5 Max Owner’s Manual
Step 4: Setting Up Your Awning
4.1 Once the tent has been pegged to the ground, unroll the front awning.
4.2 Twist to unlock the two 1.9m upright awning poles and twist again to lock at desired height.
Attach a 3.5m spreader pole to the spigot of each upright, then, using the front eyelets, attach the
poles to the awning as illustrated. Secure with guy ropes as shown.
Step 5: Peaking the Awning
5.1 Using the 2.3m upright awing poles and a 3.5m spreader, connect to the eyelets located midway
along the awning and raise to full height. You may need to adjust the front guy ropes when
raising the poles.
Step 6: Securing the Fly
6.1 Connect the fly poles through the eyelet on each side of the fly and secure the fly with guy ropes
as shown.

SV-5 Max Owner’s Manual
Step 7: Setting Up the Zip-In Tarp Extension
7.1 Once the tent has been fully erected and the awning has been set up, attach the Zip-In Tarp
Extension to the zipper located at the front of the Tent’s awning.
7.2 Use the three 2.3m upright poles to support the Tarp Extension, (using the three eyelets located
at the end of the Tarp Extension), adjust the poles to the desired height and secure with guy
ropes and tent pegs.
Note that you should ensure that the height of the poles should allow for eicient water run-o in the
event of rain.
Also note that it is recommended to remove the Tarp Extension in the event of high winds or if the tent
is to be le unattended for any significant period of time.

Ventilation
Maintain adequate ventilation inside your tent at all times.
Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods,
avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements. Clear the area of sharp
stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor. If possible, avoid setting the tent on ground
that is already wet. If you can’t minimize the resulting humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well
ventilated.
Pegs/Stakes and Ropes
Peg down your tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.
All tents require pegging/staking to prevent them from flying away in a gust of wind. Always anchor your Oztent. Enough
pegs/stakes and ropes are supplied to safely set up your tent in most situations. It may be necessary to purchase
additional and/or specialised pegs/stakes and ropes for use in extreme or varied soil conditions. For optional sand pegs/
stakes Oztent recommends use of an Oztent Edition Bluescrew.
Tightly tensioning your tent with our attached ropes greatly increases the tent’s strength and stability. This will also
reduce fabric droop and wrinkles, and prevent rainwater from pooling. To pull out a peg never use the edge of the tent as
a handle. If hard to remove, use of another peg as a hook is recommended.
Zippers
Be careful with your zippers. Go slow when zipping. Make sure to align the tracks before sliding the zipper - and don’t
exert excessive force. If fabric gets caught in the slider, stop and slowly reverse the slider to remove. A silicone based
lubricant may be used to enhance zipping.
When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, they can cause abrasion and damage to the zipper sliders. You can clean the zipper
teeth by rinsing them out with water. The pressure from a regular garden hose will push out small sand particles.
Cleaning
If your tent should require cleaning, set it up and use a sponge with warm water. If further cleaning is needed, a garden
hose should be able to wash o any remaining dirt. Do not use detergent, soap, bleach, as thee may remove the
waterproofing and/or damage the fabric. Allow the tent to air-dry completely before packing or storing.
Condensation
Condensation is an unavoidable fact of physics. When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric, it forms
condensation. In most conditions condensation can be controlled by allowing air inside the tent to vent outside. During
periods of high humidity, such as rain, it can be too diicult to remove or reduce condensation. In these conditions, a
high degree of ventilation can actually increase the condensation by drawing in more humid air.
To reduce condensation, use Oztent Fly. Your Oztent Fly is designed to collect humid air that passes through your tent. It
is normal to find the underside of the fly covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the floor inside the tent. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking
fabric.
