Tent Set up Instructions
Coleman CHALET 9 CV
To familiarise yourself with your new Coleman tent, it is recommended to set it up at home first
before your camping trip. Please follow these set up instructions to obtain the best
performance and longest life from your new Coleman Tent.
1.
When you have selected your tent site, ensure that there are no sharp sticks or objects
to puncture the tent floor and lay the inner tent on the ground.
2.
Lay the inner tent in the position you want it, taking into account the fall of the land and
the prevailing wind direction. Always place the tent with the front opening away from
the wind. Be careful not to set up under trees which might drop sap or branches which
can fall in heavy weather.
3.
Sort the tent poles and assemble them making sure that the pole end fully inserts into
the metal ferrule end to avoid splitting or breaking poles.
4.
The Coleman Pin and Ring construction method makes it easier to connect the poles
to the tent before pegging the inner tent to the ground. This means that you can erect
the inner tent and then move it to your preferred position.
5.
Leave the doors fully closed (zipped up) before pegging out the inner tent.
6.
The pole sleeves on your tent have coloured tape at the end of the sleeve to indicate
which colour pole to insert into each sleeve.
7.
Insert the two GREY poles into the central pole sleeves with the Grey end tape and
connect them to the pins marked with GREY webbing on both sides of the tent. This
will form the main central body of the tent.
8.
Insert two of the YELLOW poles into the sleeves with the yellow tape at each end of
the tent’s main room and insert the pin into the pole ends.
9.
The two remaining YELLOW poles need to be inserted through the end pole sleeves to
form the bedroom end. Connect the pole end to the pin on each connection point and
this completes the inner tent set up.
10.
You can now position the tent where you want it and secure the inner tent by pegging
down all points provided, drive the pegs into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees to
the horizontal and sloping away from the tent pegging point.
11.
Pull the fly over the frame and peg out the corner points of the fly. Do not overstretch
the fly as this can damage a seam which may cause leaks.
12.
Attach the velcro attachments on the inside of the fly to the poles and guy out the
attached guy ropes to complete the set up of your tent. These guy ropes assist in
keeping the tent stable during windy conditions and should always be pegged out
when the tent is erected.
13.
Your tent is fitted with Coleman’s Circle Ventilation. It is important to guy out the
appropriate points at the base of the fly to ensure maximum ventilation to the tent. You
can control the flow of air into the tent by adjusting both the angle at which you guy out
and how much you zip open the vent from the inner tent.
14.
Use the two steel awning poles and extra pegs and guy ropes to set up either of the
rear or front awning, make sure to let down awnings when raining to avoid water
ponding and subsequent fabric damage.
15.
Your tent is fitted with Coleman’s AirPort System and is specifically designed to be
used with a Coleman Cool Zephyr Window Fan. Refer to the instructions on how to
attach your fan located on the inner of the tent at the AirPort. You can mount your fan
inside your tent to pull in cool fresh air, or outside your tent to force hot still air out.
