TENT PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS – ZENITH (UK)
Flysheet First Pitching
1.
Assemble poles and lay them on the ground
2.
Open flysheet on ground and position in desired direction. Check internal TBS cords are un-tensioned and flysheet
door is closed.
3.
Locate black pole sleeve on outside of flysheet and insert the large main pole.
4.
Locate one end of pole into corresponding eyelet on pole anchor strap.
5.
Push pole into an arch from opposite side and locate pole tip into eyelet.
6.
Tighten the pole sleeve tension strap (to the right of the door) to remove slack in the pole sleeve.
7.
Insert short poles into webbing pockets at each end of the tent. The smooth dome pole tip inserts into the webbing
pocket underneath the vent; locking tip is inserted into the eyelet at the base of the flysheet.
8.
Peg the two main pole anchor straps.
9.
Peg each of the guylines at the end of the tent and adjust until the flysheet is taut.

Inner Attachment
1.
Open out inner tent inside flysheet and position so that doorways on inner and flysheet line up.
2.
Suspend the inner by attaching toggles of inner tent through rings on inside of flysheet
3.
If necessary, insert TBS cords through access points in inner tent (ceiling and sidewall) and connect into side-release
buckles.
Tension Band System
1.
Insert tension bands through corresponding access points in the inner tent (ceiling and sidewall). Connect the straps
into the side-release buckles.
2.
Adjust the tension of the TBS straps until the slack is taken out
Vango's patented Tension Band System ensures that your tent performs in adverse weather conditions, especially strong
changeable winds. In calm conditions the system can be disconnected if desired.
When tensioned, the bands brace the pole and prevent sideways movement, as shown in the diagram above. The buckles
should be adjusted so that slack is removed, do not overtension the system as this may deform the poles.
