SECTION 6
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Ventilate the environment inside the tent using the specific vents on the front panels, the windows and the doors when there
are many people inside the tent or after performing activities which may have caused the development of harmful gas.
CAUTION! NEVER USE WATER TO PUT OUT A FIRE NEAR ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT. USE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS OF THE
APPROPRIATE CLASS. NEVER WASH ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WITH JETS OF WATER: UNPLUG THE DEVICE AND
USE A DAMP CLOTH.
6.2 BAD WEATHER
Check the stakes, check that the guy lines are taut and in good conditions and close the doors and the windows in strong
wind.
CAUTION! MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO SHARP OR POINTED OBJECTS IN THE VICINITY WHICH COULD BE
PUSHED BY THE WIND AGAINST THE TENT OR WHICH COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE LINER OR THE
PNEUMATIC TUBES OF THE TUBE AS THE TENT MOVES IN THE WIND.
6.3 SNOW
The tunnel shape of the tent makes most of the snow slip down the sides. Simply push the upper part of the liner of the tent
and the entrance module upwards occasionally to clear the top. The operation may be performed from the outside or the
inside of the tent.
6.4 RAIN
The liner is shaped to avoid water loads caused by rain alone. Carefully close the doors and windows.
In order to improve waterproofing, it is advisable to dig a trench around the perimeter of the tent to convey rainwater away.
