ERECTION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CLEVELAND 6
BEFORE USE
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ERECTION INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO ERECT THE TENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO BOTH FABRIC AND POLE SYSTEMS. SUCH DAMAGE
CANNOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
WARNING!!
DO NOT PUSH TENT PEGS IN BY HAND, ALL TENT PEGS SHOULD BE DRIVEN HOME
USING A WOODEN OR RUBBER FACED MALLET OR SIMILAR TOOL.
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE WATERPROOFING THE MAIN FLY SHEET SEAMS
HAVE BEEN TAPED. SHOULD THE TAPE BE DAMAGED AND PEEL AWAY YOU CAN
EFFECT A REPAIR BY USING SEAM SEALER AROUND THE PROBLEM AREA.
WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT SEEM SEALER IS APPLIED TO UNTAPED SEEMS TO
PREVENT LEAKAGE.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT ALLOW SEAM SEALER TO CONTAMINATE THE
TEETH OF ANY ZIPS AS THIS WILL PREVENT THE ZIP FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.
IF YOU DO USE SEAM SEALER IT IS BEST APPLIED WHEN THE TENT IS DRY. PICK A DRY
WARM DAY TO CARRY OUT ANY SEALING AND PLEASE ALLOW 48 HOURS FOR THE
SEALANT TO CURE PRIOR TO RE-PACKAGING THE TENT.
FAILURE TO ALLOW THE SEALANT TO DRY FULLY PRIOR TO PACKING THE TENT UP
WILL STICK THE FABRIC TOGETHER POSSIBLY CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE.
DURING USE
TENTS CONTAINING A HIGH PROPORTION OF SYNTHETIC MATERIALS ARE SOMETIMES
AFFECTED BY CONDENSATION, THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH LEAKAGE AND
CAN USUALLY BE CURED BY ENSURING THAT ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS
AVAILABLE BY LEAVING DOORWAYS SLIGHTLY UNZIPPED WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
DO NOT PITCH UNDER TREES, MAKE USE OF NATURAL WIND BREAKS LIKE HEDGES
OR WALLS, FACE THE TENT DOOR AWAY FROM THE PREVAILING WIND. USE TWO
HANDS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING ZIPS, THIS WILL HELP PREVENT PREMATURE
ZIP FAILURE.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS INFORMATION ATTACHED TO THE
INSIDE OF THE TENT.
CARE OF YOUR TENT
WARNING!!
TENT FABRICS CAN BE WEAKENED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT, UNDER
NORMAL HOLIDAY USE YOUR TENT WILL GIVE YOU LONG SERVICE BUT ERECTION
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN STRONG SUNLIGHT WILL CAUSE DETERIORATION.
IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO USE YOUR TENT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS IT WOULD BE WISE
TO USE A SITE WHICH IS AS SHADED AS POSSIBLE.
TENTS ARE BEST STORED OPENED OUT, IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE AIR FULLY AND
ENSURE IT IS TOTALLY DRY BEFORE PACKING IT AWAY AT THE END OF YOUR
HOLIDAY.
STORE YOUR TENT IN A WELL VENTILATED DRY PLACE. LOOK AFTER YOUR TENT
AND IT WILL LOOK AFTER YOU.
HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR TENT REPAIRED AT FIRST OPPORTUNITY.
