VENTILATION
The SoulPad 4000-lite has three vents at the peak of the tent. These are lined with a mosquito mesh. The
vents must be kept clear at all times. Never block the vents. To do so will compromise the tents performance
and the occupant
’s safety.
CARBON MONOXIDE RISK
Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic
to humans when encountered in concentrations above about 35
ppm. It
is the most common type of fatal air
poisoning in many countries and too many campers are killed by this gas each year.
The most common symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning may resemble other types of poisonings and
infections, including symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, and a feeling of
weakness. Affected people often believe they are victims of food poisoning. Infants may be irritable and feed
poorly. Neurological signs include confusion, disorientation, visual disturbance, syncope and seizures.
Use a Carbon Monoxide Alarm
For your safety we recommend the use of a Carbon Monoxide alarm inside your tent.
