Frequently Asked Questions - Eldorado 2 Black Diamond

How to set up the Eldorado 2 tent?

Unfold the tent and assemble the 4 aluminum poles. Insert them into the pole sleeves, then stake the tent to the ground using all tie-down points. Make sure the poles are properly connected.

How to care for and clean the tent?

Hand wash the tent in cold water with MiraZyme cleaner. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow to air dry completely before storing.

How to maintain the zippers?

Rinse the tent with water to remove sand and dust. Apply a lubricant like Zip Care to prolong life. Replace worn sliders if necessary.

How to adjust or replace the poles?

The poles have an adjustable tension cord. To adjust tension, remove the end tip, pull the cord, and retie a stopper knot. To replace a segment, measure the length and order a replacement part.

Can I use an optional groundsheet?

Yes, an optional groundsheet is available. It attaches to the stake loops via reinforced loops. It can also be used as a tarp.

How to store the tent after use?

Make sure the tent is completely dry. Fold it carefully, roll the pole if present, and store it in the provided stuff sack. Avoid storing the tent wet to prevent mold.

What is the warranty of the tent?

Black Diamond warrants the product against material and manufacturing defects for one year from the date of purchase to the original buyer.

How to ensure tent stability in strong wind?

Use all tie-down points, including webbing loops above the stake loops. Stake firmly and use the provided guy lines to resist side winds.

Is the tent suitable for snow?

Yes, the tent is 4-season. In snow, never clear snow with hard objects like shovels or sticks. Use your hands or a soft plastic shovel.

How to treat mold on the tent?

Wash the tent with MiraZyme at the first signs of mold. If mold is advanced, it may be irreversible. Always store the tent dry to avoid this problem.

stAking

Always stake out your tent using all points provided. Staking out your tent must not be considered optional! Yes, your tent can easily be dragged by modest winds. Tent stakes and guylines are included with your tent. The webbing loops stitched into the seams above ground level stakeout points must be utilized to ensure strength and stability of the tent (especially in broadside winds).

snow Conditions

Be extremely careful when shoveling snow from around your tent, because the shovel can easily tear the fabric. Never brush snow off your tent with any hard objects, such as sticks, shovels, ice axes, etc.

AttAChing optionAl ground Cloth

Fitted ground cloths are available for all Bibler Tents. Along the edges of the ground cloths are reinforced loops. These can be used to attach the ground cloth to the tent stakeouts so that it is secured under the tent. Tie a short loop of cord through each of the ground cloth's corner loops. Slip this loop over the corner tent stakeout when staking out the tent. The ground cloth can also be used as a tarp—use the loops along the edges to suspend or anchor it.

CAre And CleAning

Tents and bivies must be stored dry. Storing your tent wet or damp will result in the growth of mildew, which will cause your tent to smell, delaminate, and leak. Mildew also attacks both the urethane coating of parts of the tent and the nylon fabric, causing loss of strength and eventual breakdown. If you suspect mildew, act right away. Washing with McNett MiraZyme™ cleaner will usually stop and remove mild cases of mildew. Advanced mildew will not wash out. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.

Those living in wet climates should wash their tents and bivies in MiraZyme once every two years, whether mildew is showing or not.

Do not dry clean or machine wash your tent. If lightly soiled, the floor and exterior walls can be sponged clean with warm water. Never use detergents or liquid soaps of any kind as they may cause the fabric to lose waterproofness.

ToddTex is a three-layer PTFE laminate. Like similar fabrics, it is important to avoid contamination of the PTFE film. Take care to keep your tent clean and

away from oils, grease, and solvents, including sunscreens and mosquito repellent, and you will be rewarded with years of good service. In order to protect the fabric, remove all dirt and debris from inside the tent before storing.

To Wash: If it becomes necessary to wash the entire tent, avoid hot water, bleach, dishwashing liquid or any type of liquid soap or detergent. Hand wash in a bathtub using only cool water and MiraZyme, made by McNett™ Corporation. This wash-in product cleans, eliminates odor, and helps to remove mildew. It is available through Black Diamond Mail Order. Be sure your tent is totally dry before putting it away. This may take 24 hours or more. DO NOT SPRAY OR WASH YOUR TENT WITH ANY WATER REPELLENTS OR CLEANING AGENTS. OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY BLACK DIAMOND. Use of any other agents may void your warranty.

ZIPPERS

Zippers require maintenance, especially if camping in sandy or dirty environments. Sand and dirt in the zippers is the leading cause of failure. When dirty, rinse your tent off with a hose, applying water pressure to the zippers to wash off dirt. Application of a zipper lubricant such as McNett Zip Care™ will aid in extending the life of your zippers. Even with this, if your zipper becomes difficult to slide, it is important to repair it right away. Often just the sliders can be changed out, restoring the zipper to near-new condition for a very small fee. If you force worn-out sliders along the zipper chain, it will damage the chain, requiring a much more expensive repair.

POLES

Our lightweight, fully shock-cored aluminum poles are incredibly strong, but they are not indestructible. When used as recommended, they will not break. The anodized finish helps protect against corrosion, but the poles should still be carefully dried along with the tent before storage.

When setting up the tent, it is very important that the poles click together properly. Ferrules that are not fully closed will result in the pole breaking when it is flexed. The shockcord should be strong, aggressively pulling the pole together into the proper position. Shockcords loose some elasticity when cold or wet. Shockcords also become stretched out over time, and should be adjusted when they become weak. Here's how: The shockcord in the poles is adjustable—this is one reason we do not put end tips on most of our poles. (For poles with end-tips, use pliers to grasp the tip, and pull it out of the pole. The end tips are a force-fit.)

To tighten the shockcord, you will need a pair of needle-nose pliers, a pair of scissors and a pair of forceps or an alligator clip (or another person). Snap the pole out to its full length. Look in the end of the pole—you should be able to see the cut end of the shockcord, maybe 1 cm (1/2 in) recessed into the pole. Grab the end with the pliers. You might need to snag it and pull it out with needle nose pliers, a sharp pencil or cut-off coat hanger. (If the end is not within reach on either end, pull off the end segment at one end. From the body of the pole, pull the shockcord as tight as possible, which should give you a foot or more of slack. Push the slack into the bottom of the end segment until the end of the shockcord appears at the top end.)

Don't let go of the elastic. The shockcord is held in place by a knot jamming against the ferrule inside the pole. Pull the shockcord out until the knot appears. Pull it further, until a little more than the desired tightness is achieved. Tie the same kind of overhand-knot, and work it back into the pole.

Fold up the pole. Does this length work? If it is too tight, the poles will be difficult to fold up. If it is too loose, the pole will not snap together crisply. Readjust the location of the knot if needed. When satisfied, snip the cord off flush with the end of the pole.

pole mAintenAnCe

Poles should be periodically inspected. While pole segments will take a bit of a "set," sharper bends or deflection of more than one pole diameter are reason for concern. Look especially for bends at the ends of ferrules. Segments with bends should be replaced.

To replace pole segments, measure the anodized (black) length of the pole and determine whether your pole is one with or without a ferrule in one end. Order replacement segments from Black Diamond Mail Order. Release the shockcord and replace the segments. Be sure to keep the segments in the correct order and orientation.
