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 www.nemoequipment.com.
1. Connect the deflator to the airbeam valve to completely
deflate the damaged bladder.
2. Open the bladder access pockets of the deflated airbeam. If
the puncture is easily accessible, read the Repairing Bladders
section above for repair instructions.
Exchanging Bladders
1. Make sure the area around the puncture is dry and clean.
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.
1. To take down Morpho AR™, first remove all gear and as much
moisture as possible. Water will add weight to your pack and
can cause mildew.
2. Begin by placing the deflator caps on the inflate/deflate valves.
When properly connected, there will be an audible click. The
airbeams will immediately begin to deflate.
3. Roll the tent along the airbeams towards their valves to force
out all the air. Try to clean as much dirt and debris from your tent
as possible before packing. This will help preserve the
breathability of the tent fabrics and reduce overall wear and tear.
4. Stuff the tent entirely into the stuff sack. By starting with the
back end of Morpho AR™ you will avoid trapping air in your stuff
sack.
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 on both sides.

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.
