Assembly
•Find a clear area of even ground and ensure it is free of sharp objects before the
tent is pitched – these tents require a minimum of two people to assemble and pitch
correctly. Avoid pitching under trees – falling tree branches and bird poo won’t keep
your tent looking new. Also orient the back of the tent to keep it more streamlined to
the prevailing wind and allow the rear vent
to circulate more air.
•Spread out the tent and peg out the corners.
Angle the tent pegs at 45 degrees and use
a rubber mallet to hammer the pegs into
the ground (to avoid damage to the pegs).
with the air beam in the central lounge – the
valve feeding air to both air tubes which is
located to the right side of the vestibule.
Remove caps and attach the hose of the air
pump, ensuring the purge valve is attached
to the pump. As the tubes take shape get
the second person to raise the tubes and
prevent them from buckling from inside
the tent to enable the air to set the central
lounge area. Secure
the central dome of the
lounge and repeat the
each of the end room air
tubes and then the front
vestibule air tube. Once
7psi then peg out the guy
ropes.
DO NOT TRY TO OVER INFLATE THE AIR TUBES – when the purge valve starts
to purge excess air – your air tube is at maximum pressure (7psi). Secure the
valve caps securely in a clockwise direction – DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Ensure
tent which makes it easier to pump.
•
during this step and the pegs closest to the zippers of the entrances are pegged
cross wise – this takes all the tension out of the zippers. Now that the overall tent
structure is secure, adjust the tensioning buckles/straps at each peg point to ensure
they are pulling evenly. Securely
attach the valve caps for all the
bedroom and vestibule air beams
or they can leak air.
•Complete the assembly by
attaching both of the inner rooms
of the tent by aligning the toggles
on the inner room with the sewn
in O-rings/tabs inside the tent.
The zippered door of the inner
room should face towards the
tent vestibule. Ensure the doors
of the inner rooms are zipped up
during assembly (note some air tents the rooms may be pre assembled)
•
tent – DO NOT OVER TENSION THE FLY as you will need to allow for changes in
weather and wind strength. Peg out the front and rear draft vents at each end of the
tent – these will keep the air circulating in the tent and maintain a more comfortable
interior temperature – you can adjust the amount of venting by relocating the
tension/location of the pegs of the draft vent. Reduce vent size in cold weather- but

General Maintenance and Handy Pointers
•Practise pitching your tent to become familiar with the pitching process and make
sure you follow instructions. Air inside the tubes of the Air Series tents naturally
expands and contracts with air temperature so for extended camping you will need
to top up to maintain a 7psi pressure. The tent pressure will rise and fall during the
WILL expand. Avoid setting up Air Series tent in strong winds and disassemble your
tent in high winds as any damage caused will not be covered by our standard 12
month Warranty.
•When you are ready to move from your campsite – unscrew the valve caps and the
then unscrew the valves counter clock wise a few gentle turns – let the air release
gradually from the air tubes – don’t release to suddenly as it is likely to give your
neighbours a fright as there is a fair bit of pressure
•Air tubes may still have residual air – this can be massaged out towards the valve
direction while the tent is being folded. Always dry the tent out before you pack
away to avoid mould if stored wet. The inner room can be left inside the tent on
•DO NOT pull our pegs with the peg webbing it will weaken the peg straps or break
them – use another peg and its hook end to lever out other pegs or a proper peg
extractor.
•When you return home, dry the tent out and repack – add some silica gel sachets
and store in a dry area.
WARNING – do not open the air tube zips - these are only to be opened when
the inner air bladder needs replacing. For details on tube replacement please

Care Instructions for Your Tent
· KEEP ALL HEAT AND FLAME SOURCES AWAY FROM TENT, ***NEVER*** use
•The pre-tied guy ropes must be used at all times to help stabilize and help prevent
any damage to your tent (your tent is not covered under warranty from wind and/or
storm damage).
•Your tent must be stored away DRY and CLEAN; it also must be kept in a dry area
off the ground to help prevent any moisture build-up and/or mildew developing.
•
•DO NOT use cleaning agents, bleaches or sharp instruments to clean your tent;
accidentally damage the tent which would NOT be covered under the warranty.
•When dismantling the tent, take the extra time to wipe down the poles along with
your pegs. This will help keep them all free of dirt and debris and help extend their
usage.
•If not regularly used, erect the tent periodically, this will help in the detection of any
mould or mildew that may have been previously undetected (if accidentally put away
damp, or has had moisture build-up whilst stored), or any damage that may have
been unsighted when last used.
•If the tent has been used near the sea, hose down the entire tent to remove salt
spray residue (particularly zip slides and any metal parts) and dry thoroughly before
storing. Zip sliders can be sprayed with a silicone spray to prevent corrosion (avoid
oil-based sprays as they will stain the fabric).
