RAPID SHELTER INFLATION
A - After unfolding the tent completely, fix the four corners to the ground by means of stakes.
CAUTION! DRIVE THE STAKES INTO THE GROUND TO A DEPTH SO THAT THE GUY LINE HOOKS ARE FLUSH WITH
THE GROUND.
B - Arrange the electric inflator and the tubes provided on the side of the tent where the valves are located. Arrange the
inflator near the central window at a distance of less than 1 m from the tent.
C - Insert the inflation tube branch in the quick coupling on the inflator (marked “outlet”) and secure with the specific
fastener (fig. 2.3).
D - Press the tubes into the valves (fig. 2.4). Make sure the inflation taps are open.
E - Connect the automatic inflator to the electric power supply.
F - Start the automatic inflator by tripping the specific switch and inflate the tent.
G - While inflating the arcs, help the tent up by pulling the guy lines (Illustrated Procedure, images 1-4).
NOTE: IF THE INTERNAL INSULATING LINER IS NOT ALREADY PRE-INSTALLED ON THE TENT, PROCEED TO INSTALL IT,
ACCORDING TO THE PROCEDURE INDICATED ON PAR. 2.3.
H - Unblock and insert the side spacer rods firstly through the holes in the insulating liner and then in the couplings on the
arches. Push the spacer rod up to their clamping in extended position (fig. 2.5 – 2.6).
I - After erecting the tent, settle the bottom by pulling on the bottom braid and continue inflating until working pressure
(approximately 4.35 psi) is reached as shown on the pressure gauge installed on the inflator itself.

J - Once the working pressure is reached, disconnect the tubes from the valves, close the inflation valve caps, switch the
inflator off, close the tube taps, spread the bases of the arches on the bottom and stake the tent.
K - Remove the simultaneous inflation tube from the inflator and put it all back in the specific bag.
L - Complete staking the tent where required (reinforced eyelets and braided guy lines, refer to fig. 2.8).
