Torpedo7 Vista User manual

Select a dry, level area and clear the ground of any
sharp or dangerous objects.
Where possible select a sheltered camp site protected
from the wind and one that will not allow water to pond
under the tent oor in the event of rain.
Lay out the tent with doors facing in the desired
direction. Open all doors and windows in the tent to
allow air inside when erecting the tent.
WARNING - Failing to open doors and windows will
put excessive stress on the fabric and seams as the
tent is raised and may cause damage.
• Peg out the four corners of the tent, ensuring that
the tent is pulled out rm and square (be careful not
to make it too taught). Peg out the remaining peg
points inserting pegs on a 45 degree angle.
• Remove all of the frame parts from the bag and lay
out in order as per the frame part assembly diagram.
Join appropriate tent pole sections together
ensuring each section is rmly secured into the next.
• Install the centre ridge pole. Select the frame
(parts #3A & #4) for the centre ridge pole and insert
through the centre ridge pole sleeve on the roof of
the tent, ensuring the front pole #3A is correctly
tted through the webbing loop and pole sock, and
the rear pole #4 is tted through the webbing strap
attached to the tent.
• Install the side ridge poles x2. Select the frame
(parts #3 & #4) for the side ridge poles and insert
through the side ridge pole sleeves on the roof of
the tent, ensuring the front pole #3 is correctly tted
through the webbing loop and pole sock, and the
rear pole #4 is tted through the webbing strap
attached to the tent.
WARNING - Do not force poles through the sleeves
as this may damage the sleeve. Check to ensure
the pole does not snag when sliding it through the
sleeve.
• Install the side support legs. Select the 4
assembled side support legs, (4 x part #2 and 4 x
part #1) and insert these into the side ridge poles
already tted to the tent. The gussets are then
clipped to the already tted ridge pole.
• With the help of another person, lift one side of the
tent until the side wall is fully upright and push the
bottom of the support leg against the ground to
hold in place. Repeat this for the other side of the
tent. The tent should now be supported by the four
upright support legs.

• Fold the front porch back over the cabin of the tent
and t the front porch spreader bar #7 to the ridge
pole #3A.
• Attach the assembled front and rear centre upright
poles (parts #5 and #6) to the already tted centre
ridge pole. Clip the pole sock to the centre ridge
pole and again with the help of another person, lift
both the front and rear centre poles into position and
adjust accordingly.
WARNING - Do not push the poles up too high as
this may cause undue stress and damage to the
fabric.
• Setting the front porch. Insert the remaining porch
spreader bars (parts #8 & #9) to the already tted
part #7. Please note that this join is not xed and
is designed to slide for adjustment.
• Carefully pull the folded porch over from the cabin
of the tent and insert assembled centre porch pole
(parts #14 and #14a) by inserting the spike on the
top of the pole through the center porch ridge pole
and then the eyelet located in the centre front of the
porch canvas. Attach a guy rope to the pole spike
and peg the rope to the ground approximately 1.5
meters from the base of the pole. Note that part #14
has a metal clip attached to the porch pole to t a
corresponding hook from the canvas porch.
• Repeat this process for the remaining porch poles
making sure to place the poles in the correct
positions. Place corner poles (parts #10 and #11)
to the outside corners and outside poles (parts #10
and #12) to the sides of the porch. Note that part
#12 has a metal clip attached to the porch pole to t
a corresponding hook from the canvas porch.
• Once all porch poles are in place, adjust the tension
on the guy ropes to set the porch evenly and taut.
WARNING - If the porch is not tensioned correctly,
water will pond and may cause damage to the
fabric and poles.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that the tent is COMPLETELY DRY and
CLEAN before packing away (a damp tent can
develop mildew very quickly). Leave front doors and
windows open.
• Clean, dry and pack the poles and pegs into their
separate bags.
• Once the tent has been lowered, ensure that the
walls are folded neatly and the roof is spread out
at. Fold the porch roof back over the main part of
the tent and lay at on top.
• Fold the tent into quarters by rst folding the side
edges inward to meet in the centre (we recommend
that you brush or wipe the underside of the oor at
this point to remove any grass or dirt and then allow
to dry before proceeding), then fold one half over the
top of the other (repeat brushing/wiping).
• Tightly roll the tent, from the back towards the front
door, brushing/wiping the underside of the oor as
you go (rolling towards the door helps to push the air
out).
• Secure the rolled up tent with the supplied ties.
• Place in the carry bag.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TENT
• We recommend that you season your tent prior
to the rst use, to ensure that the seams are
fully watertight. Erect your tent at home, and wet
thoroughly with the garden hose – especially on the
seams (but not on the zips). Allow to dry fully, and
then repeat 1-2 times.
• KEEP ALL HEAT AND FLAME SOURCES AWAY
FROM TENT, ***NEVER*** use any gas, ame or
heat appliances inside your tent.
• The supplied guy ropes must be used at all times to
help stabilise 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.
• At the rst sign of bird droppings or sap from a tree,
clean off straight away using water and a soft cloth
only; if left, this may damage the fabric of your tent.
• DO NOT use cleaning agents, bleaches or sharp
instruments to clean your tent; this may not only
affect any waterproong treatment of the fabric, but
may also 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).
