PRO-TENT 5000

Important: The Pro-Tent folding tent should be assem-
bled by two people. Many steps should be carried out at the
same time.This generally applies to the entire assembly and
dismantling process.
Step 1:
Openthebuckle at the bottom of the bag. Open the zip of the transport bag,
which is now accessible, as far as it will
go. Use your foot to push the wheels
and the angle plate mounted on them
away from the frame.
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.

ASSEMBLY

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.
When positioning
the fabric roof, the
gable pole should only
be extended by
about 10 cm.
TIP
Tensioning
loops
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.
TIP
Step 3:
Throw over and x the four corners of the fabric roof to
the outer legs.

ASSEMBLY

Step 4:
Fasten the velcro straps on the inside of the 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:
Fixing the roof gable to the protection cover: Push the recess/
slot on the fabric sleeve through the tongue on the prole
cover.Tighten the sleeve rmly using the velcro strap.

ASSEMBLY

Step 6:
Grasp the frame again below the middle pivot point at the
cross struts, lift slightly and open the frame by stepping
backwards until the roof begins to stretch.
Schritt 7:
To engage the roof struts, the plastic gliders must be pushed out over the top push buttons of the corner legs.This also applies
to the centre legs of the 8x4 m frame.

TIP: One person pushes the gable upwards as far as possi-
ble (1) to relieve the roof strut strucure (for 6x4 m or 8x4 m
frames, choose the nearest gable to the leg to be locked).
Ideally, the plastic glider should come to rest just below the
push button.
Now the second person stands with one foot on the foot
of the folding tent and pushes the roof strut near the plastic
glider upwards with both hands (2) until the push button
under the plastic glider engages (3).

Step 8:
Easy tightening of the fabric roof by using the velcro straps.
To do this, pull the roof panel down a little rst.
Extend the leg: To do this, raise
the leg slightly and only then
pull it out with your foot.
TIP
Schritt 9:
Now pull out all the legs to the end position (3). For the tent
sizes 4x4m, 6x4m and 8x4m of the Pro-Tent 5000 series, the
transport position (1) must rst be released (press the push
button spring and pull out the lower leg).

DISMANTLING
1. Loosen all velcro straps on the roof panel. For the tent sizes
4x4m, 6x4m and 8x4m of the Pro-Tent 5000 series, rst
retract the legs to the transport position.
2. Press the red push button release below the plastic gliders
on each leg.This unlocks the roof frame.
3. Release the push button 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.
For the above-mentioned sizes of the Pro-Tent 5000 series,
rst only push until the gliders on the legs rest on the
lower press button springs. Also press these locking bolts
for complete retraction.
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 and slide the angle plate between the
wheels under the plastic gliders of the frame.Then close
the zip and the buckle. Finally the belt must be pulled tight
to ensure safe transportation.

SIDE WALLS
3. Slide two adapter strips over the
piping cord on each of the outer two
fabric sections.
Note: In addition to the side wall, four adapter strips (a) are in-
cluded in each carrying bag - 2 per lower leg.The grooves of the
upper leg are continued downwards with the adapter strips. In
this way, the piping cord sewn into the outside of the side wall
is securely guided and held from top to bottom in the leg.

ACCESSORIES/SIDE WALLS

Removing the side wall
1. Press the adapter strips of the side
wall together at the lower end and
screw them out of the groove of the
leg from the bottom upwards at the
side. Alternatively, the adapter strip
pliers can be used for this purpose.
2. Open the zips about halfway down
the lower leg. Pull the narrow piece
of fabric out of the grooves in the
leg, velcro it to the top of the roof
panel and close the zips.
3. Loosen the velcro on the upper edge
of the side wall across the entire
width.To do this, hold the foot and
head ends of the side wall with one
hand each; it is best to tear velcro
away from the roof panel with a
helper and fold it up immediately
without it touching the ground.
4. Then press the four strips into the
groove of the lower legs and align
them with the lower edge.Then
close the zips again.

tor at the height of the side wall
between the two legs and lock it in
their prole grooves.To do this, close
the eccentric screws using aTorx key
(approx. 1/2 turn).
2. Open the zips until the two outer
pieces of fabric can be comfortably
pulled into the groove of the upper
legs.Then close the zips again.
3. Pull in two adapter strips on each of
the two outer fabric pieces and align
them with the lower edge .Then

scopic connector can be inserted into
the lower edge of the side wall.This
provides additional transverse stability
and the visually perfect nish.
The inside of the side
wall is easily recognisable
by the sewn-on label with
the serial number.

ACCESSORIES/CROSS-CONNECTORS

Optional legs Pro-Tent 5000
Optional legs can be inserted at each connection node.These
allow you to subdivide rooms in the module size of 2.0 m or
also to assemble inside cabins. Attaching additional cross-
connectors or side walls also signicantly increases the stability
of the entire frame.
Attach the optional stand leg to the outside of the frame
(1-3): Insert the leg (1) through the lower 3-piece connector into
the upper 3-piece connector (2).Then pull out the lower leg to
the end position (3).
Attach the optional leg below the gable (4-6): Remove the
prole cover on the 4-piece connector and place it in the storage
compartment of the transport bag. Insert the leg (4) with the
adapter into the gable (5).Then pull out the lower leg to the end
position (6).

SECURING IN WINDY CONDITIONS
Ensure that the tent is well secured according to the prevailing weather conditions.
It is sucient to tension the tent using the loops on the roof in light to fresh winds (up to wind force 5). Use the tensioning set
included in the scope of delivery to tension the tent. If the ground conditions do not allow you to use pegs, you can also use
ProTent weight plates or ProTent water weights (see the next page).
As a general rule, we recommend weighing down even tensioned tents with weight plates.
IMPORTANT: For best results, the tent should be tensioned over the corners at an angle of approximately 45°, so that the ten-
sioning ropes are angled away from the tent.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the tensioning ropes. Use a moderate amount of force to prevent them from sagging. In windy
conditions, you will need to check the tension from time to time and adjust the pegs if necessary.
The tent should be stretched and tensioned over the folding structure in strong winds (force 6-7).
CAUTION: In the event of a storm, or if gusts of wind (force 8 or higher) are expected, the tent must be taken down.
Pass the tensioning rope around the connector on the legs,
close the carabiner and tension it outwards as usual. The tensioning ropes are routed outwards between the val- ance and the side wall when combined with side walls.

Hexagonal weight plate 12.5 kg
The weight plate is completely inside the folding tent and can be stacked up to 6 layers (up to 75kg per leg).The feet of the
legs are xed to the bottom weight plate with ball locking pins.
Water weight 50 litres
The water weights are a useful alternative if pegging is not possible or if you want to secure your folding tent with additional
weight (50 kg per leg).The tent is secured using the tensioning set included in the scope of delivery. An optional quick tensio-
ning kit is available to make handling even easier - see illustration.
