SECTION 3
DISASSEMBLY AND FOLDING OF THE TENT
3.1 DEFLATING THE TENT
The tent is obviously disassembled by reversing the assembly operation.
A - Firstly disassemble the internal accessories (dust mat, electric system). The insulation liners and the air distribution
system can remain fitted inside the tent. Then clean the bottom of the tent.
B - Remove the sunshade as shown in paragraph 2.3 and put it back in its bag after folding it properly.
C - Remove the entrance module and put it back in the proper bag.
D - Close the doors, the curtains and the transparent window panels, and fasten them with the specific closing systems with
which they are provided (braids, eyelets, loops and Velcro).
E - Remove all the stakes (from the base of the tent and from the guy lines), clean them and put them back in their bag.
F - Partially deflate the arches from the external valves leaving the tent partially and stability standing.
G - Remove the side spacer rods from the tent and put them in the pole bag.
H - Fully deflate the supporting arches and lock the external valve shutters in the open position. Position the tent as it
deflates inside the footprint.
I - Fully deflate the sunshade pneumatic spacers.
J - Extract the inflation tube manifold and install it on the suction manifold (with the word “inlet”) (fig. 3.1).
K - After closing the inflation valve shutters, press the tubes into the valves of the spacers and then into those of the arches
(fig. 3.2). Turn the taps to open position.
L - Run the inflator until the spacers and/or arches are fully deflated.
M - Switch the inflator off and rapidly disconnect the tubes from the inflation valves.
N - Extract the tube from the inflator.
CAUTION! WHEN DEFLATING WITH THE ELECTRIC INFLATOR, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO SUCK DUST, DEBRIS,
LIQUIDS OR OTHER MATERIALS INTO THE TUBE.
NOTE:
THIS OPERATION MAY ALSO BE PERFORMED WITH THE MANUAL PUMP BY REVERSING THE DIRECTION OF
INFLATION AND POSITIONING THE CORRUGATED TUBE INTO THE SUCTION HOLE OF THE INFLATOR.
