Your OP LITE AIR tent is made of 7 connected AIR beams in the main tent (and 5 beams in the annex if you choose that
addition). The tent is inflated by the compressor that is mounted in the cabinet to the right of the door. The hose from
the AIR compressor is threaded up through the cabinetry to the main AIR tent inlet valve. The compressor is activated
by the button on the control panel, which also has a breaker switch should this be required.
The air compressor is
preset to the optimum pressure of 6.5psi and will automatically shut off when the pressure in the AIR tent reaches
this pressure. Occasionally you may wish to adjust the psi to account for variations in outside air pressure (caused by
altitude, temperature and extreme wind).
Our recommendation is to first check the suitability of the air poles at the preset
pressure. If you then decide you require more or less pressure in the tubes the psi may be adjusted using the dial located
on top of your compressor. Turn the dial to increase or decrease the pressure as desired,
however you must not increase
the pressure over 9psi and we recommend returning the pump back to 6.5 psi for normal camping.
Once your AIR tent is fully inflated and the compressor shuts off, please remove the hose from the valve and cap the
valve. This will stop any air leaking out around the compressor hose. Failure to remove the hose and cap the valve may
result in tent deflation.
Each Air Beam is connected to the beams next to it by an AIR transfer hose which has an isolation valve on each end
where it connects to the AIR beam. Each AIR transfer hose has a spring inside it to protect it from kinks and bends that
could damage the hose or prevent air passing between the beams. We recommend regular inspection of the AIR transfer
hoses and isolation valves to ensure they are in good condition. You can find the AIR Transfer hoses by zipping open the
semi-circle zippers in the roof of your tent. Should you need to close off the valve, the back section is turnable. There
are markings on the valve to show which direction to turn for open and close.
The AIR Beams are housed inside
two protective layers; an inner thick
protective layer and an outer layer
built into the main tent. You should
aim to keep the AIR beams enclosed
inside the layers unless you suspect
an issue with the air beam. Should
you need to access the AIR beam,
ensure that no part of the AIR beam
is caught in the zip when you close it
back up.
Located on each potable water tank you will find a quick access draining valve at the lowest point of the tank. When
packing away the OP LITE complete the following process to drain the system of any excess water.
A. Switch off the pump on the main control panel
B. Open the faucet & allow the excess water in the pipe to drain
C. Close the faucet once all of the water has drained.
D. Disconnect either side of the quick connect
E. Ensure the sink and waste water drain hose are empty
F. Removing hose and stow it in the front storage panel.
The OP LITE is fitted with one 20gl potable water tank mounted in front of the axle. The water tank has its own lockable fill point
located on the driver-side and identified by a blue water faucet icon. Your water tank is connected to a 12v water pump which can
be switched on via the main control panel. The water pumps are pressure operated, so once the main power switch is turned on at
the control panel the pump will prime the system and as soon as you turn the tap on the water will flow. Once the tap is closed, the
pump will turn off until the tap is turned back on. Please turn off your pump at the main control panel when the water system is not
in use as they will continue to use battery power when they are turned on but not in use. Do not run your water pump when the tanks
are empty as this could cause the damage to the water pump and circuit. You can use the water gauges on the main control panel to
check the water levels in your tank.
The water tank is gravity filled and included with your OP LITE is a potable water fill hose which should be sanitized regularly. It is
important to monitor the water levels in your tank. When your water tank is empty please turn off your water pump. Running your pump
without water in the tank will cause your water pumps to burn out. Please see the Troubleshooting section for tips if you are not able
to draw from your potable water tanks.

• Use the supplied blue water hose with male quick-connect fittings on each end.
• Connect one side to the middle quick connect on the side of the OPUS and the
other side to the water quick connect fitting on the kitchen, accessible when the
kitchen is fully extended.
• Turn on the front pump on your control panel
• Open the kitchen faucet.
• The kitchen has a drain hose included in the front storage compartment.
• This is designed to drain to a waste water container or bucket.
WARNING: Do not pour hot oil down the kitchen sink drain!
