THE ELASTIC LOOPS AND TOGGLES SHOULD SIMPLY BE FED THROUGH THE
CORRESPONDING LOOPS AND RINGS ON THE FLYSHEET. OPEN THE DOOR OF THE
INNER TENT KNEEL OR CAREFULLY STAND ON THE GROUNDSHEET. STARTING AT THE
BACK CONNECT ALL THE LOOPS AND RINGS ON THE REAR POLE SECTION AND WORK
FORWARD UNTIL THE INNER IS COMPLETELY SUSPENDED.
REPEAT POINT 7 FOR ANY REMAINING INNER TENTS
YOUR TENT IS NOW READY FOR USE, ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY.
TAKING YOUR TENT DOWN
STRIKING CAMP IS BASICALLY A COMPLETE REVERSAL OF THE ERECTION
PROCEDURE.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN RELEASING SHOCKCORDED POLES FROM THEIR
MOUNTINGS AS THE TENSION IN THE POLE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY IF THE
POLE IS NOT DISMANTLED IN A CONTROLLED MANNER.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO
SLACKEN OFF THE ADJUSTABLE WEBBING STRAPS BY THE RING AND PINS.
IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO PUSH SHOCKCORDED POLES THROUGH AND OUT OF THE
SLEEVES RATHER THAN TO TRY AND PULL THEM THROUGH. AGAIN TAKE CARE NOT
TO DAMAGE THE SLEEVES WITH THE POLE ENDS OR FERRULES WHILST REMOVING
THEM FROM THE FLYSHEET.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO STRIKE CAMP WHEN YOUR TENT IS COMPLETELY DRY,
HOWEVER THIS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
SHOULD YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR TENT DOWN WET, THEN IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
IT IS DRIED OUT COMPLETELY WITHIN 24 HOURS.
A WET TENT WILL GO MOULDY
CAUSING IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO COTTON COMPONENTS.
FOLDING YOUR TENT
1: IN ORDER TO MAKE A NEAT AND TIDY PACKAGE, THAT WILL FIT EASILY INTO THE
OUTER CARRY BAGS, ALWAYS HAVE THE OUTER BAGS CLOSE AT HAND WHILST YOU
ARE FOLDING THE TENT UP.
2: IT IS BETTER TO FOLD THE FLYSHEET UP FIRST, INTO A LONG RECTANGLE. MAKE
THE RECTANGLE APPROXIMATELY 10 CMS SHORTER IN WIDTH THAN THE OUTER
BAG.
3: AFTER BRUSHING OR WIPING THE TENT GROUNDSHEET TO ENSURE IT IS CLEAN
AND DRY, POSITION THE FLYSHEET ON THE GROUND READY FOR FOLDING.
4: FOLD THE EDGES OF THE GROUNDSHEET IN SO TO COVER THE FLYSHEET IN THE
MIDDLE, MAKE SURE THAT THE OVERALL PACKAGE IS AGAIN ABOUT 10 CMS
SHORTER IN WIDTH THAN THE OUTER BAG.
5: ROLL THE PACKAGE UP, ROLLING TOWARDS ONE OF THE VENT ENDS OF THE TENT
IN ORDER TO ALLOW TRAPPED AIR TO ESCAPE.
WHEN YOU HAVE ROLLED THE PACKAGE UP SECURE IT WITH THE ORIGINAL TIE
TAPES SUPPLIED.
