NEMO Equipment GOG - Manual (Page 5)

If you do not have a spare bladder, follow the directions below,
but for step 4, tie a piece of cord that is longer than the airbeam
to the bladder before you pull it out. Use this cord to pull the
bladder back into the airbeam once it has been repaired.
Avoid rough ground, especially rocks and pavement.
Make sure the tent is clean and dry before packing.
Store the tent unpacked to allow air circulation.
Occasionally inspect the tent for wear and tear.
Do not store the tent exposed to UV light.
NEMO AirSupported tents are designed to withstand all the usual
rigors of adventure. We worked hard to select materials with the
right balance of being lightweight and durable. If you take
reasonable care of your tent, you should never have a problem.
But, accidents do happen! If you have a puncture, the next few
steps will show you how to swap in a new bladder and repair the
damaged one to keep as a spare. Please read all the steps first
before beginning.
Tips for Extending the Life of Your Tent
Repairing Bladders
2. Cover the hole with a generous piece of the self-adhesive patch
(TEAR-AID™) included in your repair kit. Make sure there is at
least 3/8” between the hole and the edge of the patch.
Repairing small holes in a NEMO bladder is simple. Refer to the
Exchanging Bladders section below to remove the bladder from
the airbeam. If necessary, inflate the bladder and hold under
water to locate the puncture.
NOTE: If the damage is larger than 1/8” in length or diameter,
the repair may not be reliable.
Replacement bladders are available from your NEMO retailer or
from www.nemoequipment.com.
1. Connect the deflator to the airbeam valve to completely
deflate the damaged bladder.
Exchanging Bladders
1. Make sure the area around the puncture is dry and clean.
1. To take down Gogo™, first remove all gear and as much
moisture as possible. Water will add weight to your pack and
can lead to mildew.
2. Begin by placing the deflator cap on the inflate/deflate valve.
When properly connected, there will be an audible click. As
pressure is released, the airbeam will immediately deflate.
3. Roll the tent along its airbeam towards the valve to force out
all of the air. Try to clean as much dirt and debris from your tent
as possible before packing it. This will help preserve the tent
fabrics and reduce overall wear and tear.
4. The Gogo™ stuff sack doubles as a gear stash pocket inside
the tent. To use it as a stuff sack, simply turn it inside out and
begin stuffing the tent. Hint: You can avoid trapping air if you
start stuffing from the foot end
5. Fold the top edge of the stuff sack down several times to make
an air-tight seal. Allow excess air to escape while compressing.
Secure the stuff sack with the compression straps around the
bottom edge.

Remember to dry your tent out completely before storing as
moisture can lead to mildew. Also try to remove as much dirt and
debris from your tent as possible. Avoid storing your tent
compressed or exposed to UV light for long periods.
6. Leave no trace. Before leaving your campsite take a
thorough look around making sure you have not left
anything behind, out of place, or damaged.
