m CAUTIOn! rISK OF InJUrY! Never under
any circumstances assemble the product in a
strong wind.
J Select a piece of land that is as flat and firm as
possible to erect your tent.
J Sandy surfaces reduce the stability of the tent.
Please ensure that the surface provides a firm
hold for the tent pegs
11
.
J Never knock the tent pegs
11
into the ground
with force! If necessary, the guy lines should
only be extended with the help of a loop and
the tent peg
11 positioned in a different loca-
tion.
J The intactness of all connection points and the
guy lines should be checked regularly, as
should the firmness of the tent pegs
11
in the
ground.
J If the tent is erected in the wrong order, this
may cause damage to the tent. All liability is

Take note of the effects of the weather
and climate
J When selecting the location to put up your
tent, you should always consider the local situ-
ation and how this might change. Will the ter-
rain turn into a lake if it rains? Please take into
account any rising rivers and incoming tides.
J Protect the product against strong wind and
storms. Place the product in a location that is
protected from the wind if possible.
J 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.
J The tent should be taken down before heavy
snowfall or stormy weather.
J Remove any snow directly from the product.
Otherwise the product may collapse under the
weight.
J 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.
J Zips are wearing parts and do not fall under
the guarantee conditions.
J Condensation can form in all synthetic tents;
you should therefore air the tent as frequently
as possible in order to counteract this.
J The polyester material of the outer tent
1
con-
sists of water-repellent material.
J It is possible that during the first rainfall the tent
will not be completely watertight. However, the
threads of the outer tent
1
will contract when
exposed to water so that after a short time the
tent will become watertight.
J When exposed to moisture and rain, tent fab-
rics expand to varying degrees and make it
necessary to adapt the length of the guy lines
10
. If the material becomes taut again while
drying, the guy lines
10
have to be loosened
again in good time.
J Avoid all contact with or prevent the rubbing of
the inner tents

against the outer tent

.
Mould could form on the point of contact and
the impermeability to water may be affected.

out of the ground
together with the rings or by the guy lines

.
J Do not use any insect spray in or on the tent.
J Never wash the tent in a washing machine or
with chemical detergents.

place, as otherwise the fabric may be dam-
