Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the annexe:

• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up will vary slightly based on the model of annexe.

• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.

• After standing the annexe upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a rectangular shape.

• Peg the guy lines so that the annexe is under tension without distorting the shape.

• If available, attach the storm straps.

• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to adjust. The annexe can be fitted to either side off the awning tent, or both. The side panels can also be reversed. Set up the annexe as follows:

1. To protect the annexe from dirt and damage, lay down a ground-

sheet or footprint before unpacking.

2. Unpack the annexe.

3. Separate and identify the different components.

4. Remove the relevant side panel from the awning tent by unpegging

and unzipping the panel.

5. Zip the annexe into place of the panel.

6. Unscrew the top cap of the inflation valve and attach the pump noz-

7. Start to pump. The ideal inflation pressure is 9 psi (0.62 bar).

8. Once inflated, pull or push the front of the annexe outwards so that

the air poles can assume their correct shape.

9. Peg out the annexe starting with the two corners closest to the

Inside the annexe, attach the internal spreader bar between the awning and the annexe. The spreader bar should be tensioned to ensure that the roof is taut.

11. Peg out the guy lines.

12. Ensure that the sides and the roof of the annexe are taut. If necessary,

re-peg. Finish the set up of the annexes (except Pro AIR Conservatory):

1. The inner tent can be attached to the annexe using the supplied buck-

les and O rings on the inside of the annexe. The front two corners of the inner tent groundsheet should be pegged.

CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage

• Do not use any type of compressor designed to inflate car tires.

• Only inflate the air poles under control of a pressure gauge with a pressure of 9 psi (0.62 bar). NOTICE! Material damage

• Do not open or close the zippers by force. NOTE

• The annexe comes with heavy duty pegs. These will be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.

• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the annexe into the ground.

• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from. NOTICE! Material damage Do not use force when dismantling the annexe. Otherwise you might damage any material. NOTICE! Damage hazard

• Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning.

• Do not use alcohol based materials, chemicals, soap and detergents for cleaning.

• Remove bird droppings and tree resin as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the material. NOTE

• Fully set up the annexe for cleaning.

• Choose a sunny day for cleaning to ensure the material will dry thoroughly. NOTE

• During first exposure to water there may be some moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing process.

• A fully equipped spare parts kit should include: – Waterproofer – Repair tape and repair solution – Silicone spray for the zippers – Spare pegsEN

Condensation All annexes suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• high ground moisture

• a drop in temperature Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties, tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking. ➤ Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows. ➤ Install a waterproof groundsheet. Repairing a puncture in the air pole If the air pole loses air, proceed as follows:

5. Unzip the protective sleeve to expose the inflatable tube.

6. Blow some air into the inflatable tube.

7. Submerge the tube in water.

8. Locate the puncture.

9. Use repair tape and repair solution to seal the hole.

10. Zip the inflatable tube back into the protective sleeve.
