DEFLATION
To pack away the tent:
1. Close all doors and openings, including those on the inner tent/s.
2. Close all window blinds.
3. Un-peg the guy lines and tie them neatly to avoid future tangling.
4. Un-peg the intermediate pegging points but keep the four corners in place.
5. Open the valves on each pole. The tent will start to deflate. Wait until most
of the air has been expelled.
6. Un-peg the four corners.
7. Fold/roll the tent towards the deflation valves to expel more air and then roll
to fit in the carry bag.
8. Ensure that the tent is totally dry before storing in a cool, dry, dark space: if
possible opened out.
CARE
Tents are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before
packing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp tent will
develop mildew surprisingly quickly.
Dirty tents can be washed using clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and
never use detergents.
The AirPoles do not need any maintenance but should be protected from
damage during storage. Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect
is not covered under the warranty. Have any damage repaired at the first
opportunity.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never
tread on them. Never force a zip. We strongly recommend that you carry a
comprehensive spares kit including silicone waterproof spray, seam sealer and
tape for repairing the AirPoles.
Repairs to the tent should be made by a company recommended by Kampa or
your supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised
company may invalidate your warranty.
