and rain, the Pro-Tent tent systems must be secured with
our weight plates and/or tensioning ropes and tent pegs.

PRO-TENT 2000

The Pro-Tent folding tent can be assembled comfortably by two people. Many steps
should be carried out at the same time. This generally applies to the entire assem-
bly and dismantling process.
Step 1:
Open the buckle at the bottom of
the bag.
Open the zip of the transport bag, which
is now accessible, as far as it will go.
Remove the bag from the side of the
frame and store it safely until you need
it again.
Grasp the frame on the outer proles.
Lift the frame slightly. Open the frame
by stepping backwards and spreading
your arms at the same time.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly video
It is best to always
grasp the frame on the
shorter side of the tent -
i.e. on the 3m side of a
6 x 3m tent.

Step 2:
Hold the frame below the middle pivot point by the cross
struts. This is the optimal handling position for opening the
frame. Lift the frame slightly and open it by stepping back
only so far that the gable pole extends about 10 cm.
Tensioning
loops
Step 3:
Throw over and x the four corners of the fabric roof to the
outer legs.
When positioning
the fabric roof, the
gable pole should only
be extended by
about 10 cm.
TIP
The corners of the fabric roof
are easily recognisable by the
sewn-on tensioning loops. After
the rst assembly, the roof can
remain in place. However, never
store the tent in the transport
bag when it is damp.

Step 4:
Fasten the velcro straps on the inside of the fabric roof corners
tightly underneath the plastic connector around the leg.
Make sure that the reinforcement ap is placed symmetrically
and without creases around the leg beforehand.
Step 5:
Grasp the frame again below the middle pivot point at the
cross struts, lift slightly and open the frame by stepping back-
wards until the roof begins to stretch.

ASSEMBLY

Step 7:
Engaging the roof strut: Push the plastic gliders out beyond
the upper push button springs (metal bolts) of the corner legs.
Important: Press down using your free hand from above.
For folding frames with centre legs (6x3): Engage
the roof strut also with the centre legs. Fix the velcro strip
attached to the roof to the centre leg. The outer fabric eyelet
and the inner reinforcing ap should be centred on the edge
of the upper plastic connector.
Step 6:
Attaching the inner fabric roof gable: Push the recess/slot on
the fabric sleeve through the tongue on the prole cover.
Tighten the sleeve rmly using the velcro strap.

DISMANTLING
1. Loosen all velcro straps on the roof panel.
2. Press the red push button release below the plastic gliders
on each leg. This releases the pressure on the roof frame.
3. Release the push button spring and retract the legs.
4. Grasp the frame above the middle pivot point on the roof
proles, lift slightly and push together again by stepping
forward but do not close completely to prevent jamming.
5. Push the frame together completely at the upper corners.
6. The frame can now be stowed in the mobile transport bag
together with the roof, which should be smoothed out á
little beforehand. To do this, open the bag completely and
place it sideways over the frame with the fabric roof. Pull
the bag down well. Then close the zip and the buckle.

SECURING YOUR TENT IN WIND AND RAIN
Please ensure that the tent is well secured according to
the prevailing weather conditions. Use the tensioning set
supplied for this purpose. Depending on your requirements,
additional 12.5 kg weight plates can be stacked on top of the
existing weight plates and/or 50 l water weights can also be
used to secure the tent on hard surfaces.
To make your tent as secure as possible, you should tension
your folding tent in a way that makes most sense with regard
to physics. The tensioning ropes should lead away from all
four corners of the folding tent at an angle of approx. 45
degrees. Flaps are provided at the corners of the fabric roof
for this purpose.
CAUTION: The tensioning ropes must not be too tightly
fastened. Tension only with moderate force so that the ropes
do not sag. If it is windy, you must check from time to time
whether the tensioning ropes and pegs are still holding rm
- and readjust them if necessary or set the pegs again.
Note: Tensioning is particularly eective and ecient be-
cause it not only keeps your folding tent in place in windy
conditions, but also prevents too much movement from
aecting your folding pavilion, which in the worst case could
damage the construction.
Weight plate hexagonal (12.5 kg)
The modular hexagonal weight plate with a weight of 12.5 kg is
mainly used when a Pro-Tent folding tent needs to be secured
with a lot of weight. Securing the folding tent with sucient
ballast is indispensable, especially if there are no possibilities for
tensioning it.
This weight plate can easily be stacked in up to six layers and
thus applies up to 75 kg of ballast onto a single folding tent leg.
For example, an 8 x 4 m folding tent with six legs can be secured
with up to 450 kg using weight plates. Only the rst weight plate
needs a xing bolt to connect the legs of the folding tent with
the lowest weight plate.
Water weight (50 litres)
The water weight is an additional way of securely tensioning an
aluminium folding tent when being used outdoors. It is used as
an alternative to tensioning the tent with the professional ten-
sioning set. The water weight can be used to increase safety in
strong winds - or when using pegs is not possible or prohibited.
The water weight is made of PVC and is cylindrical. Its diameter
and height are both 40 cm. Its capacity is about 50 litres. Two
twist locks allow easy and quick lling of the water weight with
water as well as uncomplicated emptying. Two handles on the
side make it easy to grab and carry.
The tent is secured
using the tensioning
set included in the
scope of delivery.
Optionally, and to
make handling even
easier, a matching
quick tensioning
set is available  see
illustration.
