Setting up the tent
A
NOTICE! Material damage
Do not open or close the zippers by force.
I
NOTE
• The tent comes with general purpose pegs. These will
be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the tent into the
ground.
• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• Thread the poles through the outer sleeves according to their color
code.
• After standing the tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if
necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a
rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting
the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.
Set up the tent as follows:
1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or
footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the tent.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the tent (fig. 2, page 3 – fig. b,
page 6).

Condensation

tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
➤ Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.

wherever possible.
