• When storing a tent in its stuff sack, make sure that stakes and poles don’t
press against the tent fabric and damage it.
• Before taking down your tent, close all zips and roll up the guy lines.
That way you won’t have to untangle them when it comes time to set the
tent up again, and pitching is that much easier.
DiSmanTling – “moDEl-SpECifiC”:
1.
Pull out the tent pegs.
2.
Unhook the ropes.
3.
Remove first the ridge pole and then the other poles.
4.
Fold up the poles and roll them up with the tent, if possible. Do not force
the poles into the storage bag if it is full as this may cause damage to the
storage bag and tent.

•
As soon as the tent is dry and clean it can be stored in its pack sack in
a well-ventilated, cool and dry place. Please do not store the tent near
paints, adhesives, oils, plastics, or fuels (gas canisters, etc.)! The gasses
emitted from these materials contain plasticizers that can damage your
tent over time.
• Zips are always a weak point in a tent’s structure. If they get dirty, clean
them with a (tooth) brush and lubricate them with graphite (pencil lead),
silicon or sewing machine oil. Apply carefully and remove excess oil with a
soft cloth.
• Never store your tent when it’s wet for a longer period of time. Unpack
it as soon as you arrive and dry it out in a well-ventilated place. To do so,
separate the inner and outer tents or use the poles to create space bet-
ween the two.
• Do not whip out tent poles and snap the sections together. This can
damage the pole ends as well as the anodization. Check the poles
regularly for cracks or other potential damage. Wash the poles and use
silicon spray at any sign of corrosion (from salt water, for example)
• VAUDE only uses poles from the renowned manufacturers DAC and
Yunan. These tend to become slightly bent with use, helping to reduce
fracturing. Please do not attempt to bend these back into shape.
