ENGLISH
SToRAGE/CARE/REPAiRS:
• If the tent is dry and clean, you can store it inside
the pack in a dry, cool place. Do not store the tent
near paint, lacquer, adhesives, fuel or plastics and
lubricants. The fumes could adversely affect the
service life of the coatings.
• Zips are always a weak point. If the become dirty,
clean them with a (tooth)brush and care for them
with graphite (pencil lead), silicone or sewing ma-
chine oil. Apply these substances with care and re-
move any excess oil with a soft cloth.
• Never store a wet tent for any length of time. Remo-
ve it from the pack immediately after the tour and
dry it in a well-ventilated place. To do this, separate
the inner tent from the outer tent or push the poles
through to create a gap between the materials.
• Do not drop the poles or allow the segments to
spring together. This could damage the pole ends
or the anodisation. Check the poles regularly for da-
mage - no hairline cracks should be visible. If you
see signs of corrosion (due to salt water, for examp-
le), rinse the poles and apply silicone spray.

• VAUDE uses only tent poles from renowned manu-
facturers DAC and Yunan. These are subjected to
light bending when in use, which reduces their su-
sceptibility to breaking. Do not try to bend them
back into shape. Despite the outstanding elasticity
of the aluminium, the poles can still break. A mat-
ching repair ferrule comes with every VAUDE tent.
Push it onto the pole, centred over the break and
secure it with tape (z).
• Only clean by hand, with a soft cloth and lukewarm
water. Detergents may damage the coating and wa-
terproofing.
In cases of stubborn dirt, create a 1:4 solution of
Nikwax Tech Wash and water, and use it to careful-
ly rub off the dirt. Next, apply a generous amount
of Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof to waterproof the
area again.
• You can provisionally seal a tear in the tent with re-
pair tape and seal it on the inside with PU or silicone
seam seal. In any case, the tear should be repaired
by an expert as quickly as possible in order to avoid
