RECOMMENDATIONS

• Assemble the tent at home before setting off on your trip in order to familiarise yourself with its assembly and ensure you have not forgotten anything.
• Choose preferably a smooth, level plot and remove all stones, twigs, etc...
• Avoid placing the entrance towards the wind.
• Condensation (natural phenomenon) is caused by the humidity given off by the occupants, the air and ground. Droplets therefore form on the inside surface of the tent and may give the impression that the tent is leaking, but this is not the case!
• In order to limit this condensation, simply air the tent as much as possible using the double doors with mosquito netting.

BEFORE ASSEMBLY

• Remove all items from the bag and place them on the ground.

ABOUT THE INFLATABLE FRAME

• The frame of the SPACEO 4 tent is composed of 3 inflatable poles.
  These inflatable poles are placed in the zipped covers. They are therefore easy to replace.
• The poles are made of polyurethane (TPU), a material which resists wear and its porosity to air is almost zero.
  To provide efficient protection against bursting, each TPL pole is covered with a high-resistance protection made of polyethylene-lined OXFORD polyester. This cover is closed with a zipper.

ATTENTION

THE 2 PULLS OF THE ZIPPER ARE ATTACHED TOGETHER WITH A PADLOCK. THIS PADLOCK MUST NEVER BE REMOVED AS THIS WILL RESULT IN THE TUBE BURSTING DURING INFLATION.

ENGLISH

PUMP and INFLATION

An inflation valve is located at the end of each pole. This is a "non-return" valve for easy inflation.

Each tent is supplied with a double-action hand pump.

It may therefore be used for inflation as well as deflation.

NOTE: Use of the pump for deflation is not necessary with this model.

FOR INFLATION

• On the pump (1): Connect the inflation tube to "INFLATE"
• On the valve (2): Remove the valve cap (A), fit the appropriate valve adapter to the end of the inflation tube (B) and connect it to the valve.

You may now begin inflating the pole with smooth and regular pump strokes.

Once the pole is inflated to the correct pressure, remove the tube (B) end and refit the valve cap (A).

Inflate each pole to: 0.344 BARS / 5 PSI.

DO NOT INFLATE ABOVE THESE VALUES AS THIS MAY RESULT IN THE POLES BURSTING.

TO DEFLATE

• Simply unscrew the deflation plug (refer to the picture above) (C).

ENGLISH

ELECTING THE TENT

1 - Once your tent is correctly positioned, peg the tent on the ground with the pegs. Be careful to keep the doors opened. (fi g. A)
2 - Take the pump and start to inflate the pole in the middle. (fi g. B)

ATTENTION: During the inflation process the pole will need to be manually held to ensure it takes its rounded form. To do this, pull the guy ropes located on the sleeve. (fi g. C)

3/ Infl ate the rear pole. To infl ate this pole, pass the pump through the hole on the flysheet. (fi g. D et E)

ATTENTION: INFLATE EACH POLE TO: 0.344 BARS/5 PSI. DONOT INFLATE ABOVE THESE VALUES AS THIS MAY RESULT IN THE POLES BURSTING.

ENGLISH

4 - Finish by inflating the pole on the front. (fig. F et G)
5 - Install the inertent
6 - Peg all guy ropes to the ground using the pegs provided. (fi g. H)

INCORRECT PEGGING AND INSUFFICIENT GUYING MAY RESULT IN WATER PENETRATION. CHECK THE TENT TENSION REGULARLY.

Your tent is now ready for use.

ENGLISH

FIRE PRECAUTIONS

To guarantee safe camping, the following common-sense rules must be followed:

• Do not place heating or cooking appliances and do not suspend lighting elements close to the walls, roof or curtains.
• Follow the safety instructions provided with these appliances.
• Never allow children to play close to these appliances when connected.
• Keep the access ways clear.
• Check the regulations and instructions applicable and available on site in case of fire.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

• Store the tent in a dry place at a safe distance from any heat source.
• The tent can be packed humid, but it must be unpacked again and dried within 24 hours.
• If necessary, clean the canvas using a mild soap and soft brush. Never clean it in a washing machine. Never apply detergents or chemical products.

REPAIR

In case of a pole puncture or bursting, it is not possible to repair it with a rubber puncture patch. The arch will need to be replaced completely and we supply spare pole in all sizes for this purpose. Contact your local dealer to place an order.

U.VAGING

This tent is made of polyester which offers natural high resistance to UV rays and various climatic conditions. Nevertheless, excessive, or continuous exposition to UV rays (for example: a whole summer in direct sunlight) may lead to premature wear of the most exposed parts of the tent. Whenever possible, install your tent in a shaded location.

CONDENSATION

Condensation is a natural phenomenon. Humidity in the air forms condensation on the inside of the tent as soon as the canvas is colder than the interior temperature of the tent.

Certain factors encourage condensation:

• When the hot air which has built up inside the tent throughout the day remains present when the outside temperature drops > solution: Air

the tent.

• When it has rained all day and the air and earth are saturated with humidity.
• The humidity present in the occupants' breath.
• The occupants' body heat.

Under no circumstances does the presence of condensation mean that the canvas has lost its waterproof properties.

AIR PRESSURE

The nature of the inflatable arch material means the level of porosity is almost zero. Your tent therefore remains self-supporting for a certain time without the need to be re-inflated.

However, it is important to note that changes in climatic conditions (temperature variations...) could result in a pressure increase or drop.

This normal phenomenon is therefore not to be mistaken for an air leak.

WARRANTY

• Your tent comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase for any product defects.
• The warranty does not cover damage due to incorrect assembly, inappropriate use, incorrect storage, condensation or abnormal climatic conditions (storms, floods, etc).
• The warranty under no circumstances covers puncturing or busting of poles.
• This tent is designed for short stays and is not suitable for prolonged use (longer than 1 month). It is therefore not designed to resist harsh a climatic conditions (frost, storms, excessive exposure to UV rays...etc.)
• Contact your retailer for any warranty claims and don't forget to take your receipt. The retailer will then process your claim on an official document. After appraisal, if your claim proves to be founded, we will either repair the tent free of charge or replace the defective part.

In case of a warranty claim refusal, we will transmit a quote to your retailer and we will carry out the repairs necessary after your acceptance of this quote. If you refuse this quote, the tent will be returned to you in the same condition as we received it. Products can not be replaced by the retailer without our prior approval.
