well without the shock cord. Age, over stretching and mishandling may cause failure.
•First aid for tears and ash burns is to carry a roll of tape, industrial or medical. This not only
blocks the hole, it will prevent further tearing. It could have other uses around the camp
site too.
•When removing pegs, do not use the webbing or corner of the tent as your handle.
Either use another peg, a peg remover or the claw of a hammerhooked under the peg to

UNDERSTANDING WATERPROOFNESS
What is not covered by warranty!
OZtrail tents use waterproof and water repellent fabrics. However, with
tent will not be as waterproof as a car, house or other solid structures. The
following are common examples of how water can enter a tent: -
Zips
could force water under the rain flaps and through the zips. To minimise this, make sure all
doors and windows are closed with the rain flaps covering the zips.
Floor- If the ground is very wet or water pools under the floor, downward pressure of
standingor kneelingon the floor could force water through the floor fabric. To prevent this,
do notpitch the tent over hollows and make sure water drains away from the tent.
Structural Integrity- Aperfectly pitched tent on perfectly flat ground is structurally strong
and most waterproof. Duringprolonged periods of rain and wind it may benecessary to
and incorrect pitching weakens the tent structure and could allow water to pool on the fly
placingundue forces on the tent causingleaking and breakages.

Zips
Reducing the risk of jamming fabric in the zip ~
• When using the zip, hold the pull-tab between your thumb and forefinger with your
thumb facing you.
•As you are closing the zip clear the way in front and under the zip slider using the back of
yourhand, and cup the zip sliderunderneath with your remaining 3 fingers.
slowly.
What to do when the zipper gets caught ~
• Pull the fabric bit by bitoutof the slider. Do not try and pull all the fabric in one go. Do
not force the slider, oruse pliers on either the fabric or the zip.
If the slider does not close the zipper properly ~
•With use, the jaws of the zip slider can open ever so slightly. When this occurs the slider
or does not close.
• Undo the zip and with the slider at the end of the zip lightly crimp the jaws of the slider
