ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Select a sheltered camp site protected from
the wind that will not allow water to pond
under the Ensuite floor. Clear a level area of
all stones, twigs, etc.
Unpack the contents of your Ensuite. Release
and remove the ties around the packed
Ensuite. Carefully unfold and lay out your
Ensuite ensuring that you have the door facing
in the direction you require.
Peg out the Ensuite at the four corner peg
points. These peg points are indicated in
Figure 1. Anchor the Ensuite to the ground
by inserting the pegs through the loops at
the base corners of the Ensuite at an angle
of 45 degrees as indicated in Figure 2. Firm
but not tight.
STEP 2: LAY OUT THE ENSUITE
STEP 3: PEG DOWN THE ENSUITE
Before extending the corner wall poles to
their full height, ensure the corner wall
poles are facing upward and the central roof
hub is resting towards the ground in the
middle of the floor, as indicated in Figure 3.
Next pull vertically up on the central roof
hub with moderate force to lock the central
roof hub into its final position, now apply a
small compression force on the wall to roof
frame elbow to lock hub into place, as
indicated in figure 4. Beginning at one
corner pole now extend the pole to its full
telescopic height until the locking pin locks
into place, repeat this process for the other
three corner poles as you walk around the
tent, the tent will stand up during this step
as indicated in Figure 5.
STEP 4: EXTENDING THE ENSUITE
FRAME AND STANDING UP THE ENSUITE
STEP 1: CHOOSING THE SITE
HELPFUL HINT
Be careful not to twist or force the frame
assembly when unfolding the Ensuite.
Until you are locking the central roof hub
into its final position in Step 4, it is not
necessary at any stage of Ensuite
assembly to apply more than a small force
on the frame. If a small force is not
sufficient to carry out each described step,
then realign the frame and try again.

STEP 5: INSTALL THE RAIN FLY
IMPORTANT
In severe conditions the shelter should be
dismantled
WARNING
At no stage is it necessary to apply any
excessive force to achieve any of the
above steps. The frame is tensioned and
if the correct action is applied the Ensuite
will erect with little or no force required.
Excessive force will result in damage to
the frame or skin and this is not covered
by warranty.
Peg out the guy ropes, make a loop (about 30
to 50 cm long) with the slider on the end of the
rope and peg out as far as possible from
shelter, as indicated in Figure 6. Ensure all peg
down points are utilised and all guy ropes are
attached firmly and remain firm, as indicated
in Figure 7.
Locate the rain fly and carefully draw over the
top of your ensuite. Hook rain fly to each
corner of the ensuite frame.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
Release guy ropes.
STEP 1:
Remove pegs with a claw hammer or peg
puller. Do not remove pegs from the ground by
pulling on Ensuite base as this may cause
damage to the Ensuite.
STEP 3:
Collect and gather the Ensuite and frame into a
compact cylindrical bundle with only ever using
a small force at any time. Ensure all loose fabric
is folded within the edges of the Ensuite frame.
STEP 4:
Once the Ensuite bundle is rolled up, place the
provided tie straps around it and secure firmly
but not tight and place into the tent carry bag
with peg bag, instruction booklet and other
miscellaneous parts. If the Ensuite will not fit
into carry bag, unroll and roll again paying
more attention to folding the fabric more
carefully and ensuring air has escaped
successfully during collapsing the Ensuite.
STEP 5:
To collapse the ensuite, ensure windows and
doors are open to allow air to escape from
inside the Ensuite. Beginning at one corner
pole of the Ensuite frame, release the locking
pin holding the telescopic pole in it extended
position, the pole will retract to approximately
half height, repeat this process for the other
three corner poles of the Ensuite frame as you
walk around the Ensuite. The Ensuite will
collapse during this step and the tension will be
removed from the central roof hub and the
wall/roof frame elbow. To unlock and release
the wall to roof frame elbow hub apply a small
expanding force to the poles on either side of
the elbow, as indicated in Figure 8. Now reach
over a place a small force downwards onto the
central roof hub to collapse the hub towards
ground level, as indicated in figure 3.
STEP 2:
WARNING
At no stage is it necessary to apply any
excessive force to achieve any of the
above steps. The frame is tensioned, but
if the correct action is applied the Ensuite
will pack up with little or no force
required. Excessive force will result in
damage to the frame and this is not
covered by warranty.

CONDITIONING YOUR NEW TENT
important to condition the tent. Simply
pitch your tent and wet it down with
your garden hose until the fabric and all
seams are saturated. Pay particular
attention to the seams - the thread
swells when wet and blocks the needle
holes. The needle holes also shrink
around the thread. The fabric also
swells into the weave and the
waterproof treatment settles within the
fabric. Let the tent dry completely before
repeating this wetting and drying
process until there is no leakage during
hosing. Always pack your tent away dry.

Tent Poles and Shock Cord are similar to
maintenance and replacement from time
most common causes of shock cord
assembly or during periods of high
winds is the most common causes of
pole failure. By maintaining both the
Poles and Shock Cord you will be
ensuring that you get the best
performance and life out of your OZtrail
Tent.
REPLACING SHOCK-CORD
See Figure 10
Step One: Measure and Cut
Measure the length of the Tent Pole.
You should use a length of Shock Cord
roughly two-thirds the length of the Tent
Pole. This will ensure that the Shock
Cord has the appropriate amount of
elasticity.
Step Two: Threading the Pole
Sections
Tie a large knot in the end of the Shock
Cord length. This knot needs to be large
enough to stop it passing through the
tubular hole in the pole sections whilst
you are threading it. Thread the Shock
Cord through the tubular hole in each
pole section.

them by tapping them vertically on a

water can enter a tent: -
CONDENSATION
forms an impermeable layer between the
inside and outside conditions. The moisture
inside the tent/shelter condenses on the
fabric. Sometimes in cold conditions it
appears that the fabric is leaking when in
fact the cause is condensation.
Condensation can be reduced if the
tent/shelter is well ventilated.

FLOOR
If the ground is very wet or water pools
make sure water drains away from the tent.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
A well pitched tent on level ground is
structurally strong and most waterproof.
During prolonged periods of rain and
wind it may be necessary to tighten guy
lines and reset the tent pegs and attend
to drainage around the tent. Sagging and
incorrect pitching weakens the tent
structure and could allow water to pool
causing leaking and breakages.
