Storage and care
Always ensure that your tent is completely dry and well aired before you store it. If possible
store the tent opened out but if this is not possible at least make sure it is kept in a cool, dry,
dark and well ventilated place. If the tent is not completely dry and well aired it can develop
mildew which is extremely difficult to eradicate.
To clean your tent we would recommend using cold (never hot!) water with either a sponge
and/or a soft brush. Be gentle. Never scrub the fabric and never use detergent as this will
damage the waterproof coating. Leave to air dry naturally and ensure it is completely dry
before storage.
Keep sharp objects away from the Airflex poles. They require no specific maintenance but
should be treated with care to avoid damage. Please see below for details should an Airflex
pole deflate unexpectedly.
Zips are a critical part of the tent so treat them with care. Never force or stand on a zip as
this can damage the teeth or puller and clean off any dirt immediately to prevent excessive
where.
Some general points
UV Degradation - Your tent is designed for touring/occasional use. It is made from synthetic fabric
that over time will deteriorate due to the effects of Ultra Violet light that comes from exposure to
Sunlight. With this in mind, if you plan to leave your tent pitched for an extended period then we
would recommend choosing a shaded location. The UV degradation can include a change of or a
fading of the colour, a reduction in the strength of the fabric and a breakdown of the waterproof
coating. Please note that Ultra Violet degradation is not covered under the guarantee.
Seams and waterproofing – All of the main seams on your tent have been tape sealed at the factory
to prevent leakage. Any water found inside the tent is more often than not the result of
condensation. However, should the seam tape become damaged or if you notice a small leak at a
seam then this can be remedied using a tent seam sealant available from your retailer.
Cooking – NEVER COOK OR USE NAKED FLAMES INSIDE YOUR TENT!
Whilst your tent complies with the ISO5912 fire retardant standard you should NEVER cook or use
naked flames inside the tent. Not only could this cause your tent to catch fire but there would be a
potential risk from carbon monoxide poisoning. Please ensure all users of the tent fully understand
the fire precautions that are shown on the label sewn into the inside of the tent.
