General safety instructions

DANGER! Failure to obey this instruction will cause death or serious injury.

Hazard of carbon monoxide poisoning

- Never use a fuel-burning appliance such as barbecues or gas heaters inside the tent. The burning process produces carbon monoxide which accumulates inside the tent as there is no flue.

WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.

Fire hazard

• Ensure you know the fire precaution arrangements on the site.
• Do not cook inside the tent or use open flames.
• Leave the tent immediately in case of fire.

Beware of suffocation

- Ensure ventilation openings are open and clear all the time to avoid suffocation.

CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Risk of injury

• This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the device by a person responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow children to play around the tent and ensure that suitable protective footwear is worn. Guy lines are a trip hazard and pegs can be sharp.
• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by unsupervised children.
• Keep passage ways clear.

Before first use

Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying out a test set up before the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is complete.

Santorini, Pico only:

Weathering your product before first use

The product is manufactured with materials that require preparation before use to maximize its weatherproofing.

1. Fully set up the product outside when rain is expected or where you can hose the outside of the product to become thoroughly wet.

This process is known as weathering. The weathering process tightens the fabric, and allows the cotton in the sewing thread to swell and fill the holes made by the sewing needle during the manufacturing process.

1. Allow the product to dry thoroughly before packing away.

By following this process before first use, will ensure that the product weatherproofing will improve with subsequent soakings.

Choosing a site

Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:

1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

Setting up the tent

CAUTION! Risk of injury and material damage

• Do not use any type of compressor designed to inflate car tires.
• Only inflate the mattress (if available) to a maximum of 2 psi/0.14 bar.
• Only inflate the air poles into the green zone of the pressure gauge of the supplied hand pump (10 psi/0.69 bar).

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not open or close the zippers by force.

NOTE

• The tent comes with general purpose 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 tent into the ground.
• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.

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

• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up will vary slightly based on the model of tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• Inflate the air poles from front to rear.
• After standing the tent 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 tent 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.

Set up the tent as follows:

1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the tent.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the tent:

- Santorini: fig. 2, page 4 to fig. 9, page 5.

- Reunion: fig. 10, page 5 to fig. 20, page 7.

- Pico: fig. 21, page 7 to fig. 29, page 8.

Removing the flysheet (Reunion only)

▶ Proceed as shown to remove the flysheet: fig. 19, page 6.
▶ Attach the flysheet before dismantling the tent.

Dismantling the tent

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not use force when dismantling the tent. Otherwise you might damage any material.

1. Remove any dirt on the outside.
2. Close all window blinds or remove curtains.
3. Close all doors and openings.
4. If installed, push the canopy pole out of the sleeve, do not pull.
5. Remove all lines and straps.
6. Remove all pegs between the corner pegs.
7. Open the valves on each pole.
8. Wait until most of the air has been expelled.
9. Remove the four corner pegs.
10. Fold/roll the tent towards the valves to expel more air.
11. When deflated, roll the tent to fit into the carry bag.
12. Ensure that all parts are clean before packing them into the carry bag.
13. If the tent is wet or damp when packing away, dry fully as soon as possible. Otherwise the fabric may start to show signs of mold.

Cleaning and maintenance

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.

• If necessary, clean the product with clean water and a soft brush.

• Apply impregnation against water and UV radiation before each trip.

Storing the tent

NOTE

• Fully set up the tent for cleaning.
- Choose a sunny day for cleaning to ensure the material will dry thoroughly.

1. Clean the tent.

2. Air fully and ensure the tent is totally dry before packing away.

3. Store in a well ventilated dry place.

Troubleshooting

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:
• Waterproof
  – Repair tape and repair solution
  – Silicone spray for the zippers
• Spare pegs

Problem Solution

Tent only inflates with difficulties	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole.▶ Check if the inflation tube is twisted at the valve. This may be indicated by noise. Untwist the inflation tube
Air leak	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole and the ring seal is in place.▶ Check that the cap of the valve is done up tightly.▶ Check for punctures, see chapter “Repairing a puncture in the air pole” on page 12.
Water leak	▶ Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings and moist areas.▶ If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter “Condensation” on page 12.▶ If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric	▶ Use repair tape to seal the fabric.▶ Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.

Condensation

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

• High air humidity
  • 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:

1. Unzip the outer sleeve holding the air pole.
2. If installed, close isolation valves.
3. Remove the air pole.
4. Deflate the air pole.
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.
11. Zip the air pole back into the outer sleeve.
