Use
> If you are using a thin tree, wrap the
webbing which acts as tree guard
multiple times around the tree. After
wrapping the webbing around the tree,
sling the short slitline at the end of the
webbing around the webbing itself or
slitline and Insert the 2 end knots into
the slits to lock them.
> Hang the hammock at an angle of 30 to
45 degrees in relation to the horizontal
position. Beware not to hang it up at an
angle less than 30 degrees as the
maximum load capacity could otherwise
be surpassed (refer to illustration last
page)!
> Prior to seating yourself in the hammock
after set up, gently apply pressure to the
hammock to ensure that knots and
supports hold securely.
Warnings
> For safety reasons in case of a fall we
recommed mounting the hammock only
approximately 8” / 20 cm off the ground.
> Prior to each setup, check all support
components like straps, cords,
carabiners, seams and fabrics for damage
or wear. Should you notice any damage or
changes from its original state, do not
use the hammock.
> To help prevent injury should you fall,
check that no sharp objects, rocks, tree
limbs, etc. are under the hammock.
> Always use the original knots when
retying. Pull them tight and ensure that
enough cord protrudes from the knot
ends (minimum 3 x the diameter of the
cord).
> Keep sharp objects away from the
hammock. Keys, belt buckles, nut shells,
pebbles in shoe soles, etc. could
puncture or tear the fabric and lead to
sudden failure.
> Children should not use the hammock
unsupervised
> Do not jump into the hammock or swing
vigorously! Do not load above capacity!
> Do not hang multiple hammocks above
each other.
> Do not leave the hammock exposed to
the sun for extended periods of time as
lightweight fabrics are not designed to
withstand constant exposure to UV
radiation. Also keep away from heat
sources and fire!
> Prevent misuse or theft - do not leave
hammock unattended.
> Test the hammock carefully each time
you use it and before putting your full
weight in it.
> Do not make changes to the hammock
as this will void the warranty/liability.
> Insure that the trees you use for setup
are strong enough. Do not use dead
trees. Beware of dead branches that
may fall. Also make sure that the
hammock attachment point is sturdy,

durable, and suitable for the weight
of a hammock.
> To prevent abrasion of the suspension
cords, never set up the hammock by
using 2 ropes per side, e.g. by running
the setup rope around a tree and
attaching each end to a corner of the
hammock. This leads to friction between
rope and tree with every movement of
the hammock and can lead to the rope
breaking. Always set up a hammock
with only one rope per side!
> Before each use of the hammock, check
that the carabiner of the suspension
system is fully functional, undamaged and
the gate is properly closed
.
> Disregarding these warnings may lead to
severe injury or death.
Care
> Remove all hardware like carabiners and
wash in lukewarm water using a soft
brush to remove stains. Dry thoroughly.
Do not clean in a washing machine.
Do not store when wet. Do not iron or
dry-clean. Never tumble dry.
Storage
> Dry thoroughly prior to storage to prevent
mold and mildew
> Store unpacked in a dry, cool and dark
place.
Tips
> We recommend a diagonal position in
the hammock in order to lie as level as
possible.
Tie a cord to a root or tree and slip the
end into the hammock. This gives you
a lever to easily get the hammock
swinging.
> When raining, we recommend setting up
the tarp first as this will keep the
hammock dry. If the tarp is wet after
teardown, store it in the stuffsack with
the wet cords and place the hammock
separately in your pack to keep it dry.
> Exped is short for ‘Expedition equipment

‘maximum use with the minimum
