3. SETUP
3.1 LAYING OUT THE TENT
Take the tent out of the supplied transport bag and lay
it out at your setup location with the roof facing up. It
helps arrange the tent in such a way that the tube
ends are positioned approximately where they will be
when the tent is inflated. This can make the setup
process much easier.
In order to reduce the risk of soiling / damaging the
tent during the setup process, it is recommended to first
spread out the Protection Foil, which can be purchased
from X GLOO as an optional accessory.
3.2 FILLING - EMPTYING -
VALVES - RAISING
The valve for inflation/deflation consists of a socket ring
that is permanently welded to the bladder and a
screw-on valve housing with attached protective cover.
3.2.1 INFLATE
To inflate the tent, the valve on the inside edge of every
tube must be prepared by screwing the housing tightly
onto the socket ring.
Connect one end of the hose to the pump and the
other end to the end to the valve housing. After
inflation is complete, close the valve with the protective
cover.
NOTE: If small folds form in the tube during inflation, it is
helpful to shake the tube and bladder. This movement
helps bring the bladder back into the optimal position in
the tube, allowing it to be inflated to maximum capacity
and therefore achieve full stability.
To deflate, simply unscrew the valve housing from the
socket ring (7. Takedown - p. 14).

6X GLOO®•Windeckstr. 4 •83250 Marquartstein •Germany
3.2.2 OVERPRESSURE VALVE
On each tube there is a red overpressure valve that
automatically opens once the maximum air pressure in
the tube has been reached. The overpressure valve
prevents the tube from bursting if the air pressure inside
is too high. Because it is a safety-related part, special
attention should be given to it.
Before inflating the tent, every overpressure valve
should be checked to ensure that it is functioning pro-
perly. To do this, unscrew the valve housing from the
socket and check to make sure that the spring can be
pressed in. Make sure that the valve is properly screwed
closed again after testing.
Sand or dirt can jam the spring and valve, which may
prevent the valve from functioning correctly.
3.2.3 RAISING
NOTE: Raising the tent from the ground requires some
assistance. Before the tubes are fully inflated, the middle
of the tent must be actively lifted. This prevents the
tent from possibly being damaged from being inflated
invertedly.
When setting up the tent on sandy terrain, take care
that no grains of sand enter the tubes or pumps
through valve openings, as these could lead to dama-
ge or leaks.
PLEASE NOTE: The specified maximum air pressure must
not be exceeded, and is reached when the overpressure
valves open and air begins to escape.
For the tent to appear optically perfect, the tubes
should be aligned by hand after inflation and the roof
readjusted on the tubes if necessary.
3.3 PUMPS
3.3.1 INFLATION WITH THE ELECTRIC PUMP
Screw the threaded end of the supplied hose onto the
„inflate“ opening of the pump.
Please note the labels on the pump:
OUT = inflate
IN = deflate

7Phone: [phone] - 60 •xgloo.com •[e-mail]
3.3.2 INFLATION WITH THE HAND PUMP
The included hand pump is equipped with various
adapters that allow connection to dierent valves. The
hose should not be kinked or compressed as this could
result in leaks or breakage!
TIP: Note the
valve plug at the top
of the pump body:
OPEN = pumps only on the
down stroke (single
action)
CLOSED = pumps on both the
up and down stroke
(double action)
4. ANCHORING
The XE series of X GLOO tents have been developed to be mobile and modular lightweight
tents.
Despite their low weight and the associated relatively low risk potential, the following
instructions must read before use and diligently observed to prevent damage to property and
personal injury.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Depending on the nature of the terrain, the appropriate anchoring accessories must be used:
• On firm, packed soil, the X GLOO Anchoring Set (tent stakes) for the appropriate tent size
can be used.
• On snow or sand, the Snow Anchors or Sand Anchors are to be respectively used in place of
tent stakes.
• On asphalt and similar hard surfaces, the tents must be suciently weighted down.

4.1 TUBE BALLASTS
Each Tube Ballast Set includes four ballasts. Each ballast
contains a water bladder for filling with water.
4.1.1 FILLING WITH SAND / GRAVEL
• If filling the ballasts with sand or gravel, the water blad-
ders must first be removed so that they do not become
damaged.
4.1.2 FILLING WITH WATER
• Open the ballast cover and pull out the water bladder
until the fill valve is visible.
• Included in the Tube Ballast Set are a hose and various
faucet adapters.
• Attach the hose to the faucet using the correct
adapter.
• Open the fill valve, insert the other end of the hose and
completely fill the bladder with water.
• Once full, remove the hose and close the valve and the
velcro on the ballast cover
• In windy conditions, be sure to orient the tent against the wind so that it oers the least
wind resistance. Canopies, in particular, should not be aligned facing into the wind, nor
should open sides of the tent face into the wind when the side of the tent facing away from
the wind is closed with a wall. Wind loads can be significantly reduced by removing the walls
and canopies.
• Exposure to wind gusts which exceed the maximum permissible wind speed can lead to
structural damage of the tent that is not covered by the warranty.
• If weather conditions drastically deteriorate, all valves must be opened to let the air out of
the tent and thus avoid any major damage. The deflated tent should be weighed down to
prevent it from being taken by the wind.

4.1.3 CONNECTING A TUBE BALLAST TO THE
TENT TUBE
Tube Ballasts can be attached to the inside or outside
of the tubes.
Make sure that the rubber-reinforced side of the ballast
is facing the ground.
Take the end of the webbing with the buckle insertion
part and thread it upward through the anchoring ring
on the tube end (a) and then through the webbing loop
on the Tube Ballast (b). Connect the hook part of the
buckle into the insertion part of the buckle and tension
the webbing so that the Tube Ballast snugly „hangs on
the foot“ of the tent. This is how you achieve the best
stability and force transmission. (c)
4.1.4 CONNECTING MULTIPLE TUBE BALLASTS
TO ONE TUBE
To secure the tent in strong winds, multiple ballasts can
be attached to each tube end. Arrange the Tube Bal-
lasts next to each other and connect them to one an-
other using the plastic toggles. Then attach the buckles
on each ballast to the tube ends of the tent as descri-
bed in 4.1.3. The Tube Ballasts can alternatively be pla-
ced on top of one another.
4.2 WATER BALLAST BARRELS
Especially suited for hard ground surfaces, Water Bal-
last Barrels can be used as tent anchors, seating or
both.
4.2.1 FILLING
• Make sure the the check valve tab in the opening at
the bottom of the barrel is closed. To do this, pull the
check valve forward with one finger. This will ensure
that nearly no water can escape when removing the
hose after filling (a).
• When filling with water, the upper opening should
initially remain open (with the check valve pushed
back into the barrel) so that the air can escape when
filling (b).
• Fill the barrel until it has completely taken shape and
the water has reached the upper valve opening.

10 X GLOO®•Windeckstr. 4 •83250 Marquartstein •Germany
• Next, pull the check valve tab forward (c) before filling
any remaining space in the barrel with air. It is not
necessary to connect the pump directly to the top
opening. Instead, the easiest way is to hold the hose
of the running pump against the edge of the check
valve in the upper opening (d).
• Finally, tightly close the cover on the upper opening
(e).
• To transport the Water Ballasting Barrel, either lift it
by the handles with two people or tip it onto the hard
bottom edge and roll it.
4.2.2 CONNECTING
The eyelets on the base of the Water Ballast Barrels
can be used to connect them to the rings on the tube
ends by means of the included shackles. You can at-
tach up to two Water Ballast Barrels directly to the
rings on the tent base.
4.2.3 EMPTYING
To empty the barrels, unscrew the cover on the bottom
opening and push in the check valve tab so that the
water can run out by itself.
4.2.4 DIGITALLY-PRINTED COVER
The digitally-printed cover can be pulled completely
over the filled barrel and then zipped closed.
4.3 TENT STAKES
When using tent stakes, it should be noted that the actual anchoring strength achieved
depends largely on the nature of the ground surface. Because of this, no general information
can be provided about which wind loads can be absorbed with which number of stakes.
It is always important to drive in the tent stakes an angle slightly toward the tube end to help
prevent them from being pulled out in windy conditions.
