Repairs
The only other faults we have experienced are the following:
1. Tent does not go up or down.
à
Check that the electric cord to the tent has power (if the light goes on inside the tent
then there is power).
à
Check that the connectors are not corroded (if the connectors are corroded it will not
allow enough current through to drive the winch).
à
Use the electric override if all else fails.
2. Tent opens but does not close.
à
Check the limit switch near the winch.
The arm on the limit switch might bend over time and not make contact. Bend the arm
a little bit down so that the switch makes contact when the belt is tight. When the tent
closes and the belt gets slack the switch will disconnect and stop the winch.
à
Use the electric override if all else fails.
The other main fault we have experienced is the customer accidentally forgetting to
open the latches. The ropes should snap before any serious damage can be done, but we
have had instances where the arms are bent. In this case you can either straighten out
the arms after removing them or get replacements from the factory. You may have to
replace the safety belt on the winch motor if the ropes damaged the edge of the belt.
If you are replacing the belt:
• Remove old belt and ropes (remember to leave one arm as is as a reference when you do the
new ropes).
• Turn the turnbuckles so that they are halfway in and halfway out (about mid way).
• Drill out the 2 old rivets from the barrel of the winch.
• Paint adhesive glue on the 100mm front section of the belt and paint adhesive glue on the
barrel of the winch.
• Give a few minutes to air dry to ensure maximum stickiness, then re-rivet the belt to the winch.
• The belt has to go over the top of the barrel (between the winch and the tent’s roof).
• Follow the rest of the instructions under “Maintenance”.
• In some instances the diode may have been damaged – the tent will then neither lift
nor lower. Just replace the diode situated in the electronics box and all should be well.
