Fire precautions
Camp safely. Follow these common
sense rules:
Do not place hot appliances near the walls,
roof or curtains.
Always observe the safety instructions for
these appliances.
Never allow children to play near hot
appliances.
Keep exits clear. Do not block the exit with
objects.
Make sure you know the fire precaution
arrangements on the site.
Take note of the effects of the weather
and climate
When selecting the location to put up your
tent, you should always consider the local
situation and how this might change. Will the
terrain turn into a lake if it rains? Please take
into account any rising rivers and incoming
tides.
Protect the product against strong wind and
storms. Place the product in a location that is
protected from the wind if possible.
If a strong wind is forecast, replace the
normal tent pegs with special storm pegs.
You can find information about meaningful
supplementary products at specialist shops.
The tent should be taken down before heavy
snowfall or stormy weather.
Remove any snow directly from the product.
Otherwise the product may collapse under
the weight.
Ensure that the tent is not too taut when it
is erected, otherwise it may not be able to
adapt to changing weather conditions and
might be damaged.
Zips are wearing parts and do not fall under
the guarantee conditions.
The polyester material of the tent consists of
water-repellent material.
It is possible that during the first rainfall
the tent will not be completely watertight.
However, the threads of the tent will contract
when exposed to water so that after a short
time the tent will become watertight.
When exposed to moisture and rain, tent
fabrics expand to varying degrees and
make it necessary to adapt the length of
the guy lines. If the material becomes taut
again while drying, the guy lines have to be
loosened again in good time.
Do not use any insect spray in or on the tent.
Small leaks on the seams can be repaired
with a seam spray and impregnation spray
can be used for the tent skin.

Assembly
§
Selecting a pitch
The ground should be flat, clean and as smooth as
possible. Before you erect your tent, remove any
pointed and sharp objects (e.g. stones, branches etc.).
Ensure that the tent
1
is positioned in such a way that
its entrance is protected against the wind.
When selecting a pitch for your tent
1
,
remember that you need not only an area
for the floor of the tent, but also room for the
guy lines. You should also ensure that there is
enough space to walk around the tent
1
and
that there are no tripping hazards.
§
Erecting the tent
Erect the product in accordance with
illustrations A to C.
§
Packing the tent together
Ensure that the tent
1
is completely dry before
you pack it together. Otherwise this may result
in stains and damage to the fabric.
