Assembly
• Find a clear area of even ground and ensure it is free of sharp objects before the
tent is pitched – these tents require a minimum of two people to assemble and pitch
correctly. Avoid pitching under trees – falling tree branches and bird poo won’t keep
your tent looking new. Also orient the back of the tent to keep it more streamlined to
the prevailing wind and allow the rear vent
to circulate more air.
• Spread out the tent and peg out the corners.
Angle the tent pegs at 45 degrees and use
a rubber mallet to hammer the pegs into
the ground (to avoid damage to the pegs).
with the air beam in the central lounge – the
valve feeding air to both air tubes which is
located to the right side of the vestibule.
Remove caps and attach the hose of the air
pump, ensuring the purge valve is attached
to the pump. As the tubes take shape get
the second person to raise the tubes and
prevent them from buckling from inside
the tent to enable the air to set the central
lounge area. Secure
the central dome of the
lounge and repeat the
each of the end room air
tubes and then the front
vestibule air tube. Once
7psi then peg out the guy
ropes.
DO NOT TRY TO OVER INFLATE THE AIR TUBES – when the purge valve starts
to purge excess air – your air tube is at maximum pressure (7psi). Secure the
valve caps securely in a clockwise direction – DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Ensure
tent which makes it easier to pump.
•
during this step and the pegs closest to the zippers of the entrances are pegged
cross wise – this takes all the tension out of the zippers. Now that the overall tent
structure is secure, adjust the tensioning buckles/straps at each peg point to ensure
they are pulling evenly. Securely
attach the valve caps for all the
bedroom and vestibule air beams
or they can leak air.
• Complete the assembly by
attaching both of the inner rooms
of the tent by aligning the toggles
on the inner room with the sewn
in O-rings/tabs inside the tent.
The zippered door of the inner
room should face towards the
tent vestibule. Ensure the doors
of the inner rooms are zipped up
during assembly (note some air tents the rooms may be pre assembled)
•
tent – DO NOT OVER TENSION THE FLY as you will need to allow for changes in
weather and wind strength. Peg out the front and rear draft vents at each end of the
tent – these will keep the air circulating in the tent and maintain a more comfortable
interior temperature – you can adjust the amount of venting by relocating the
tension/location of the pegs of the draft vent. Reduce vent size in cold weather- but

Peg points
The connecting hoses inside the tent have valves built in. To inflate the tent,
the valves must be turned to an open position and then closed once inflated.
To deflate the tent, the valves need to be opened again and left open.
