Care & Maintenance Instructions for
Sahara Deluxe
DO
*Check that you have all parts and components before and after your trip.
* Allow your tent to dry completely before you pack it away for storage. This will discourage the formation of
mildew. (Although the fabric is treated with mildew inhibitor, no fabric is completely mildew-proof.)
*Secure your tent properly when pitching it, so that strong winds cannot dislodge and damage it.
DON’T
*Store your tent on a concrete floor.
*Pitch your tent near an open fire.
*Spray your tent with insecticide.
*Stand on the canvas cover.
*Store your tent in a damp state and out of direct sunlight
*Wash your tent with a detergent, don’t bleach, don’t dry clean, don’t iron and don’t tumble dry.
*Pitch your tent under a tree which may drop sap or gum.
*Expose your tent to any open flame. Candles, matches, camp- fire and any heating/cooking flame should be kept
well clear of your tent.
*Cleared off all loose threads, DO NOT PULL it, but cut it off with a scissor.
BEFORE USE
*When preparing for a trip, pitch your tent fully at home, using the assembly checklist provided. This exercise will
ensure that:
(1) The tent is undamaged.
(2) None of its sections or accessories is missing.
(3) You become familiar with the tent structure and how to pitch it.
*Remember to take along extra tent pegs, guy ropes and storm straps.
*When packing up your tent, check off all parts against your list so that nothing is left behind.
DURING USE
* WARNING: Extra precaution must be taken when assembling & disassembling this frame as spring steel can bounce
back and cause injury. Keep children and bystanders at safe distance.
*Find a dry, level place in which to camp.
*Prepare the ground by removing all sharp rocks, sticks etc. which could damage the groundsheet.
*Always lay down a netted or solid polyethylene groundsheet first to form a buffer between your tent floor and the
ground. This helps to keep your tent clean and prevents damage to the tent floor.
*Your tent is designed to give shelter in adverse weather conditions, but a certain amount of seam leaking may occur.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Coastal Camping
*Wash down all poles and other metal parts to prevent corrosion. Dry well.
*Treat poles with a non corrosive agent before packing away. (Silicon base spray)
Stains
*Sponge the stained area lightly. Do not use a scrubbing brush or any form of detergent, as these may affect the tent
fabric.
