Q
Assembly
Tip: Before setting out on your journey you should
familiarise yourself with the structure of your tent
and erect it. Check whether all of the parts are pre-
sent and in perfect condition.
Q
Selecting a pitch
j
The ground should be flat, clean and as
smooth as possible.
j
Before you erect your tent, remove any pointed
and sharp objects (e.g. stones, branches etc.).
j
Please ensure that the tent is positioned in such
a way that its entrance is protected against the
wind.
j
You should remember that it is not allowed to
erect tents everywhere. In most European coun-
tries camping is only permitted on officially au-
thorised campsites and on private land with the
permission of the landowner.
j
When selecting a pitch for your tent, remember
that you need not only an area for the floor of
the tent, but also room for the guy ropes.
j
You should also ensure that there is enough
space to walk around the tent and that there
are no tripping hazards.
j
Please maintain an adequate distance to other
tents.
