3.2 FOLDING THE TENT
NOTE: TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS OPERATION.
O - After deflating the tubes, close the inflation valves and the protective flaps. The pressure relief valves must stay open.
P - When deflating the arches, make sure that the arches at the end of the deflating procedure assume the longitudinal
position shown in figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3 - Arrangement of the arches inside the deflated tent.
Q - Remove the three spacers from the sunshade as shown in paragraph 2.3 and place them in the bag.
R - Spread the tent pulling the four eyelets in the corners of the base footprint.
S - Roll up the guy lines and bind them so that they will not come loose, then start folding the tent.
T - Go to the sides of the tent at lift the edges to fold over the middle line of the footprint (fig. 3.4).
Figure 3.4 - First fold (right-hand side).
U - Repeat the operation on the other long side of the tent. The two folds may be perfectly overlapped (fig. 3.5).
