Please read these Assembly and Care Instructions
completely
,
before
starting to assemble the tent.
General instructions:
Carry out a trial assembly of the tent so that you are familiar with the
important operations and instruction before actually using the tent.
We recommend that the assembly is carried out with the assistance of
a second person, since many of the steps described can be carried out
more easily and quickly in this way.
To assemble the tent, you will need a rubber or steel hammer, and also
a tape measure, in order to mark out your pitch on the site and to
differentiate between the tent poles.
Accessories:
The fixing accessories provided are designed for normal weather
conditions; heavy rain, storms, hail or snow will necessitate addi tional
fixing accessories, such as guy-ropes for supporting the tent in stormy
weather, and ground pegs and tent pegs for more stable attachment
to the ground.
Choosing a site:
Choose a level site wherever possible, free of stones and any sharp
objects, in order to avoid damage of the tent fabric.
Remember that resin from trees and pollen from flowers can also
damage the fabric of the tent, and avoid such locations wherever pos-
sible.
Pitch the tent so that the entrance is sheltered from the wind.
Care:
If the tent is to be sited on damp ground, use a groundsheet in order to
prevent the fabric from getting dirty. After use, the tent should always
be packed away in a dry condition, or at least laid out to dry within
12 hours at the latest, in order to prevent the formation of mould. The
poles should be cleaned of dirt after use, and stored separately from
the tent skin.
Do not clean the tent using chemical cleaning agents or caustic
materials. Simply allow the tent to dry and then brush out the dirt.
The plastic windows should be cleaned only with clean water and a
soft cleaning cloth.
The zip fastenings will continue to operate smoothly if lubricated with
a normal zip fastener spray.
GENERAL:
Check the tent fixing regularly to avoid damages caused by wind. Use
all tension possibilities to make sure that the tent is set up correct and
save. Window flaps and doors should always be rolled up inward, so
that water can run off and does not collect within the rolled-up fabric.
Close doors and windows when wind becomes stronger that the wind
cannot blow up your tent.
Temperature variations may cause the fabric to shrink or expand slight-
ly. These natural properties mean that the pitching of the tent should
be checked regularly and adjusted when necessary.
Temperature variations and natural evaporation from the ground can
lead to the formation of condensation. This effect is not due to lack of
sealing integrity, and can be minimised by means of adequate ventila-
tion or an airtight groundsheet.
Fire precautions:
In order to camp safely, please follow these simple rules: Never place
or use any cooking equipment or open lighting equipment close to
the walls, roof or curtains of the tent, since the fabric is inflammable.
Always observe the safety instructions relating to this equipment. Do
not allow children to play in the immediate vicinity of such equipment
when it is switched on. Always leave clear an exit route from the tent.
Familiarise yourself with the fire safety equipment and precautions ap-
plicable on the camping site, or obtain these instructions from the site
management.

Important product information!
Ultraviolet radiation
reduces the tear strength of all tents fabrics dur-
ing their times of use.
Polyester fabric stands it better than nylon but also does not last for-
ever and cannot defy the effect of nature.
UV-radiation is stronger in the southern than in northern countries.
Therefore avoid permanent intensive sunlight for extended periods
of time.
dwt-Zelte will not assume any liability for damage that is caused by
uv-lights.
Temperature variations and natural evaporation from the ground
can
lead to the formation of condensation. This effect is not due to lack of
sealing integrity, and can be minimised by means of adequate ventila-
tion or a airtight groundsheet.
Moist packed canvas can cause colour fading. Both characters are no
reasons to complain. Be aware that the tent is well ventilated and dryly
packed. Store the tent in a dry room. Separate the frame from the
canvas.
