TENT PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS – CAPRI 500/500XL/600XL (UK)
FLYSHEET FIRST PITCHING:

Open out flysheet and position in required direction.

Peg out the four main corners of the tent using the pegs supplied

Locate inflating points at the base of each beam.

Access the beams through the zipped entry points and through the side door

(figure 2)
Remove the valve cap

Insert the correct pump adaptor, which will lock onto the valve

There is no need to turn the white valve button as the adaptor will move this to the correct position

Inflate all tubes to 7psi. The tubes MUST be guided into an arch as they are inflated

Final tube pressure MUST NOT exceed 8psi

DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE BEAMS

Start with the centre tube and guide the beam into an upright position while it is inflating

Inflate the other beams.

A small amount of air may leak from the valve when it is being inflated but this is normal

Remove the pump adaptor as soon as the beam is at the correct psi

Replace the valve cap to create an air tight seal

Ensure the tent is in a straight line

The groundsheet should be flat and wrinkle free

Peg out the remaining poles and pegging points using pin pegs at the base of poles

Peg out ALL guy lines using pin-pegs ensuring that guy line fabric attachment points are evenly tensioned.

Reposition and adjust tensioning where necessary
CORRECT PUMP SET-UP:

Pump Body > Pressure Valve > Pressure Gauge > Hose

(Ensure the valve/gauge/hose are connected to the inflation port of the pump)
PRE-ATTACHED SUN CANOPY:

Insert the alloy pole through the front pole sleeve, then tension the material using the front guy lines. Peg out the base of the sun canopy.

Vango awnings are designed for use in lowland, sheltered campsites. Do not pitch in high winds or exposed campsites

To stow, unpeg guy lines, remove pole and roll back canopy toward tent. Secure with loops until required.
INNER ATTACHMENT:

Open out inner tent inside flysheet and position doorways to correspond with the living area

Starting from the rear corners of the tent, attach the elasticated hooks on the groundsheet to corresponding rings on the flysheet

Suspend the inner by attaching toggles of inner tent through rings on inside of flysheet

Do the rear first and work forward
TENSION BAND SYSTEM:

Remove Tension Band System from pockets and attach into the corresponding clips at the apex of the pole

Adjust the straps until they are taut

DO NOT OVERTENSION. Excess tension will alter the shape of the tent
TO DEFLATE THE AIRBEAM TENT:

To deflate the AirBeam (remove the cap
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A PUNCTURE:

Note - most apparent punctures are the result of the valve not being screwed in correctly. Please check the valves before changing the AirBeam in question

Deflate the air beam. Unzip the internal flysheet sleeve which contains the affected beam.

Remove the tube and its protective outer.

The zips for the protective outer are cable tied together to prevent accidental access. Cut the cable tie and open the zip.

DO NOT open these zips when the tube is inflated.

Remove the clear rubberised tube from the protective sleeve taking care when removing the valve from the sleeve.

Partially inflate the tube and pass through a bucket or basin of water, looking for air bubbles. This will indicate location of puncture

Use the repair patch provided and cover hole, using instructions on patch. Re-insert tube into protective outer, closing zip from both ends, so that zip pullers are in the flysheet sleeve
(this might be easier with the tube partially inflated)
