• Do not leave children unattended! The product is not a toy or a climb- ing apparatus! Make sure that people, especially children, do not climb on the product or lean on it. The product could unbalance and tip over. This could result in injuries and/or damage.

• Regularly check the integrity of all connection points and check the tension and the firmness of the pegs.

• Make sure that all components are undamaged and properly assem- bled. There is a risk of injury due to improper assembly.16

• Damaged parts can affect the safety and function of the product.

• Never assemble or disassemble the product in extreme weather conditions, such as strong wind.

• Choose ground that is as solid and level as possible for erecting the product. Sandy or snowy surfaces reduce stability. Make sure that the ground provides a firm hold for the pegs.

• When the product is erected, there is a risk of tripping on the guy ropes.

• Check the product for damage or wear before each use. Only use the product if it is in perfect condition! Danger due to weather!

• Pay attention to local and chang- ing conditions. Consider e.g. tides, flood hazards and forest fire hazards.

• Protect the product from strong wind and storms. Place the product in a spot least susceptible to wind.

• In strong wind, replace the normal ground pegs with special storm pegs (not included in the package contents). Enquire about sensible accessories, such as extra guy lines, at a specialist shop.

• In heavy snow fall or storms, disas- semble the product.

• Remove snow from the product. Otherwise the product can col- lapse under the weight.

• Do not tension the product too much, otherwise it cannot adapt to changing weather conditions and can become damaged.

• In the event of moisture or rain, tent fabrics expand to a varying extent, making it necessary to re-tension the guy lines. When the material becomes tight again as it dries, the guy lines must be loosened again. Risk of property damage!

• Assembling the product in the wrong sequence could result in damage. Liability of any kind is excluded.

• Never hit the ground pegs into the ground with too much force! If necessary, use a loop to extend the guy lines and move the ground peg to another spot.

• The polyester material is PU-coat- ed and therefore water resistant. Do not use insect spray inside or on the product. The coating can be affected.

• Small leaks along the seams can be remedied with a seam spray (not included in the package con- tents) and a waterproofing spray can be used on the tent surface. Selecting a location WARNING! Danger due to weather!

• Pay attention to local and chang- ing conditions. Consider e.g. tides, flood hazards and forest fire hazards.

• Place the product in an area pro- tected from the wind. Make use of natural wind protection such as hedges, rocks, etc.

• Choose a site that is as level and clean as possible.

• Avoid depressions in the ground.

• Remove any stones, branches or other sharp objects, to avoid dam- aging the ground sheet.

• In sandy soil, use appropriate ground pegs (not included in the package contents) to avoid unin- tentional loosening of the tension. Assembly The product should be assembled by two people. Carry out a test setup before your trip. Make sure the product and all components are complete and undamaged. Outer tent (Fig. B–E)

• Additional ventilation is required when using gas or other combus- tion devices.

• Do not place hot appliances near the walls, roof or door flaps.

• Always follow the safety informa- tion for these appliances.

• Never allow children to play near hot appliances.

• Keep the entrance clear.

• Make sure you are aware of the fire precautions on the premises.

• Make sure the ventilation openings are open at all times to prevent suffocation. There are three plastic eyelets inside the tent where you can hang a camping light, for example (not included in the package contents). The tent’s inner pockets can be used for daily items or clothing. Note: water condensation general- ly occurs in all tents, but especially when there are strong temperature fluctuations. After a night in the tent, there will be water condensation drops on the inside surface. Condensation is not a sign of leaks. Good ventilation reduces condensa- tion inside the tent. Open the tent entrances and win- dows regularly to reduce condensa- tion inside the tent. Opening doors and windows (Fig. H and I) To open the doors and windows of the inner and outer tent, proceed as follows:

1. Open the zips of the outer fabrics

or loosen the hooks on the cor- ners of the outer fabrics.
