AUFBAU - ALLGEmEiNE HiNWEiSE:

Endless freedom, adventure and summit thrills. Mountains and nature as far as the eye can see.

Peace and excitement all in one.

That is the Spirit of Mountain Sports.

We here at VAUDE are passionate about mountain sports. This passion can be found in every single one of our VAUDE products.

As a modern family business we take our social and environmental responsibility very seriously: we have been a bluesign member since 2008, one of the most stringent ecological standards in the world. And as the first European outdoor outfitter we are also constantly improving our environmental performance through EMAS certification, the EU's eco-management and audit scheme.

So hope to see you soon up in the mountains... Antje von Dewitz

ENGLISH

CHooSiNG YoUR SiTE:

• Pitch your tent on level ground, in an area protected from wind and not in a hollow, where water can quickly collect when it rains.
• Take into account wind direction when pitching your tent – face the entrance downwind and sheltered if possible.
  • Take into account that camping near water sources could lead to condensation build up on your tent and belongings.
• Don't pitch your tent in dangerous places. This includes gorges, underneath cliffs or rocks, near glacier-fed rivers, in forests or near fire spots.
• Remove all pointy or sharp objects that could damage the tent floor.
• Use a tent footprint or groundsheet to protect the tent floor.
• If you are planning on camping in one spot for a longer period of time, make sure to pitch in shade or half shade – UV radiation accelerates the aging process of tent fabrics and coatings.
• When camping on snow and in freezing conditions,

dig a pit in front of the tent door or in the vestibule in which cold air can collect.

• Avoid snow build up by regularly clearing snow off the surface of the tent.
• Cooking inside your tent should be avoided whenever possible due to the danger of fire or carbon dioxide poisoning. If you need to make an exception, make sure to ensure sufficient ventilation and keep the stove as far from the tent walls as possible. This might mean having to detach the inner tent and fold it back.

SET UP - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

VAUDE tents are well known for their simple set up. If any step in the process seems difficult, do not use force; take the time to find out what the problem is.

1. Spread out the tent on the ground. (Inner and outer tent are delivered attached to each other.) In windy conditions you should stake out the tent. Use guy lines to anchor it, for example, to a rock, backpack, etc.
2. Sort the poles and assemble the sections by sliding

ENGLISH

them into each other. Do not whip out the pole sections so they snap together. Make sure that each pole section is fully inserted into the next section; otherwise they may crack or break under pressure. Gently slide the poles through the pole sleeves. Do not pull them through.

1. Erect the tent and make sure that the entrance zip is not under undue tension or strain which could easily damage the zip. Use the releasing lock or hook at the bottom of the entrance.
2. Stakes should be driven in at a 45^ angle away from the tent (X).

The VAUDE Y-stakes that come with our tents are very durable and resistant to bending and especially suited for hard ground and grass. For extremely hard ground, we recommend the use of tent pegs or spikes. VAUDE offers special stakes for very soft ground, snow or sand. Hammer them in vertically for soft soil or bury them horizontally to anchor in sand or fresh powder snow (Y).

SETTING UP - "modEL-SPECiFiC":

We advise that at least two people are available to set up this tent. Please follow the instructions step by step, the order is important.

1. Clear the ground of any sharp objects.
2. Lay out the set-up band in a circle (A).
3. Assemble the poles and insert into the central connector.
4. Put one of the poles (1) into one of the eyelets marked with red.
5. Put the opposite pole (1a) into the opposite eyelet marked with red.
6. Insert the two poles in the middle (4 and 4a) opposite each other. Put the remaining poles in the corresponding locations, e.g. 2 and 2a, 5 and 5a, 3 and 3a, 6 and 6a.
7. After the insertion of all the poles throw over the outer tent (B) and secure it at the base (C).
8. Secure the tent to the ground with tent pegs and, where necessary, guy ropes.
9. Leave the air vents clear and ensure there is sufficient ventilation.

ENGLISH

When using the inner tent.

1. Lay out the inner tent on the ground.
2. Take the hook from the middle of the inner tent and fasten it to the connector in the outer tent (D). The doors of the inner and outer tents must line up.
3. Fasten the inner tent to the poles, starting from the top. Wrap the Velcro strip around the pole and put the toggle through the corresponding ring (E).
4. Secure the base of the inner tent with the buckles on the set-up band and tense it (F).

Take Down – General Instructions:

• Remove everything from the tent's interior.
  • Freestanding tents can be gently shaken out to remove leaves, sand, and other debris.
• Turn the tent over with floor facing upward and allow it to dry a bit longer.
• If it's not possible to dry the tent completely before packing it, this should be done within 12 hours to prevent the risk of mold and mildew growth.

• As in the tent set up, never pull the poles out of the pole sleeves; rather push them through.

• When storing a tent in its stuff sack, make sure that stakes and poles don't press against the tent fabric and damage it.

• Before taking down your tent, close all zips and roll up the guy lines. That way you won't have to unt-angle them when it comes time to set the tent up again, and pitching is that much easier.

DISMANTLING - "MODEL-SPECIFIC":

1. Begin by unfastening the inner tent from the base and folding it.
2. Unfasten the outer tent, beginning with the base.
3. Remove the poles and fold them up.
4. Roll up the inner and outer tent together with the poles and put away in the storage bag.

STORAGE/CARE/REPAIRS:

- As soon as the tent is dry and clean it can be stored in its pack sack in a well-ventilated, cool and dry place. Please do not store the tent near paints, adhesives, oils, plastics, or fuels (gas canisters, etc.)! The gasses emitted from these

ENGLISH

materials contain plasticizers that can damage your tent over time.

• Zips are always a weak point in a tent's structure. If they get dirty, clean them with a (tooth) brush and lubricate them with graphite (pencil lead), silicon or sewing machine oil. Apply carefully and remove excess oil with a soft cloth.
• Never store your tent when it's wet for a longer period of time. Unpack it as soon as you arrive and dry it out in a well-ventilated place. To do so, separate the inner and outer tents or use the poles to create space between the two.
• Do not whip out tent poles and snap the sections together. This can damage the pole ends as well as the anodization. Check the poles regularly for cracks or other potential damage. Wash the poles and use silicon spray at any sign of corrosion (from salt water, for example)
• VAUDE only uses poles from the renowned manufacturers DAC and Yunan. These tend to become slightly bent with use, helping to reduce fracturing. Please do not attempt to bend the-

se back into shape. Although aluminum is extremely flexible this might damage or even break the poles. Every VAUDE tent comes with a Pole Doctor or repair sleeve. If a tent pole breaks while out on a trip, simply slide the repair sleeve over the broken section and then use tape to attach it (z).

- The tent should only be cleaned by hand, never in a washing machine! Use a soft cloth and luke warm water. Detergents or cleaning agents may harm the tent's coating and waterproofing.

Use a brush to rub Nikwax Tech Wash in a 1:4 ratio with water on stubborn stains. Follow up with Nikwax Tent & Gear Solarproof waterproofing, applying generously to the area cleaned.

- When on the road, repair tears in the tent wall with repair tape and seal from the inside with a PU or silicon seam sealer. The seam should however be correctly repaired as soon as possible in order to prevent further tearing. Please contact your retailer to do this.

- Tent pole shock cords can be retightened if neces-

ENGLISH

sary (elasticity can wear out in very cold conditions or due to aging). To do this first remove the end cap and then untie the knot in the cord. Retie the knot further up the cord and replace the cap.

TECHNICAL dETAiLS:

Depending on tent models, VAUDE tents feature the following:

FEATURES

Siliconized:

• Increases tent life by 20% - a triple coating reflects damaging UV radiation to a much greater degree than standard treatments.
• 8-times greater tear resistance – siliconised fabrics attain a tear resistance of 8-11 kg compared to 1.3 kg of PU coated fabrics.
• Excellent water beading properties – water simply beads on the surface.
• Retensioning – the nylon carrier material swells up when damp or wet. The tent needs to be retensed if rain/snow initiate.

- Sealing – siliconised materials cannot be factory seam sealed (exception: VAUDE Silicon Seam Seal). When camping in extremely rainy conditions we recommend sealing all seams by hand with a silicon seam sealer.

FLY: SUPER TEAR-RESISTANT 70D POLYAMIDE RIPSTOP 210T SI/SI; WATERPROOF TO 5,000 MM.

• Very high resistance to tearing due to tensile polyamide fabric embedded with reinforcing fibres.
- Triple silicon coating to the outer and inner surfaces for maximum tear-resistance and water run off, as well as increased UV-resistance.

iINNER TENT:

70D POLYAMIDE RIPSTOP 190T.

• Abrasion and tear resistant polyamide fabric.

ENGLISH

SAFETY GUIDELINES:

• Please heed safety guidelines for all appliances used in the tent.
  • Always keep exits and throughways as well as vent openings accessible.
• Find out what the rules and regulations are for the campsite you are on and heed fire safety precautions.
• Avoid hazardous materials inside the tent, such as stove or automobile fumes (for example in the Drive Base/Van).
• Wear your shoes around the tent. Stakes and other anchors can be very sharp.
• Do not stake out the guy lines over paths or trails. These can be easily tripped over in the dark.
