EXPED TENTS
Thank you for purchasing an EXPED tent.
Innovation, quality and refined details
distinguish them from all others.
With the Venus III DLX we differentiate between
windward and leeward sides for enhanced weather
protection and increased ventilation. The doors also
face the leeward side.
1
Windward sid
e (dark green cords). The rainfly
fabric reaches the ground and keeps wind, sand and
snow out.
2
Leeward side
(orange cords). A small gap
enhances ventilation.
3
Pole sleeves
The internal flat pole sleeves are color
and number coded for setup.
4
Cord Stuffsacks
prevent tangling of tent cords
during packing. Simply insert three fingers into the
Cord Stuffsack, wrap the tent cord around your fingers
and then turn the stuffsack inside out like with a pair of
socks.
5
Guy lines
For perfect setup there are numerous
pre-mounted guy lines attached to the tent. Our
Dyneema guy lines are reflective and buckles allow
stepless adjustment.
6
Pole repair tubes
are integrated in the supports
of the air vents and are immediately at hand when
required for repairs.
CONTENTS
pre-mounted canopy and rainfly;
accessory bag (4 tent poles, pegs, spare zipper slider,
repair tube, spare pole segment, guylines, fabric
patches; packsack
1
Lay out the combined
canopy and rainfly. The side
with the orange guy loops
facing downwind.
6
Tension the rainfly using
the webbing straps. Secure
the tent corners with pegs.
8
Place a peg in the
loops of the guy lines and
tension.
7
Apply the guy lines
found on the pole sleeves
in a star shaped configu-
ration when seen from
above.
3
First insert the 3 poles in
the color coded pole
sleeves No.1+2+3 until they
curve.
5
Insert the ridge pole into
the color coded sleeve
No. 4 until it curves. Insert
the end into the webbing
pocket and pull tight.
4
Secure the pole tips into
the grommets.
2
Secure the head end
with 3 pegs (dark green guy
loops).
Note!
Optimal stability is achieved only when the tent
is tensioned properly. Nylon fabrics absorb moisture,
expanding the fabric, which will contract again when
dry.Please re-tension the tent when necessary.
TEARDOWN
Clean out the tent and close the zippers leaving
a 10 cm gap.
Note!
Normally, the canopy and rainfly
remain attached. For tear down in rain, the canopy
can be disassembled and packed away dry. For
the next setup, set up the rainfly first and then mount
the canopy.
1
Remove all pegs and
release the tent cords.
The pegs are stored in the
accessory bag.
2
First, release tension
on the ridge pole and
push it out of the sleeve
(never pull).
3
Next, release tension
on the main poles and
push them out of the
sleeves (never pull).
