SHELTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL SHELTER CARE INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS
INCLUDED WITH THIS SHELTER BEFORE USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1. Before you use your new shelter, fully unpack and pitch it at home. It is
important to familiarise yourself with the set up procedure and the various
features.
2. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry, will drain well if it
rains and is protected from wind and other elements.
3. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your shelter.
4. For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other person to
assist in pitching the shelter.
5. Keep all flame and heat sources away from this shelter fabric. Do not use
open flame or gas appliances in or near your shelter.
6. Do not use aerosol sprays or any solvent based products in or around your
shelter as these could damage the fabric or special coatings. These products
include but are not limited to: repellent spray, hair sprays, alcohol, detergents,
fly spray, petrol, kerosene etc.
7. Please note, the warranty on this shelter will be deemed void if the product is
used for any purpose other than a
temporary, recreational
use shelter.
8. Handle the shelter carefully when unfolding and folding the shelter frame.
9. Especially in windy conditions, it is essential that you attach guy ropes and
fasten them to the ground. We suggest you insert the pegs into the ground at
a 45° angle towards the shelter, not straight down. Please note, your shelter
will not be covered under warranty if wind damage occurs.
10. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your shelter is secure
and to prevent damage to both yourself and the shelter. Check guy ropes/
pegs daily.
11. To clean your shelter, only ever use a soft sponge and warm water. DO NOT
use excess force or other harsh cleaners to remove marks from shelter.
12. Ensure the shelter is completely dry and clean before storing away and ensure
to store it in a dry environment.
IMPORTANT:
1. Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity etc.) condensation
may form on the inside of your shelter. This does NOT mean your shelter is
leaking through the fabric.
2. Try to avoid pitching your shelter under trees as tree limbs, falling leaves,
sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from the trees can cause
damage to the shelter fabric and its special coatings resulting in leakage or
discolouration.
3. Only remove the shelter pegs by pulling on the peg itself. NEVER pull on
the shelter to remove pegs as it could result in damage to the shelter or
personal injury.
4. DO NOT leave shelter pitched for weeks at a time as extended exposure
to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage and/or cause it to discolour. Your
shelter will not be covered under warranty if you leave it up for many weeks
at a time.
5. STORAGE:
NEVER store your shelter wet or dirty (even for short periods of time).
6. You may want to insure your shelter against loss or damage.
