ENGLISH
2. Sort the poles and assemble the sections by sliding
them into each other. Do not whip out the pole sec-
tions so they snap together. Make sure that each
pole section is fully inserted into the next section;
otherwise they may crack or break under pressure.
Gently slide the poles through the pole sleeves. Do
not pull them through.
3. Erect the tent and make sure that the entrance zip
is not under undue tension or strain which could
easily damage the zip. Use the releasing lock at
the bottom of the entrance.
4. Stakes should be driven in at a 60° angle away
from the tent (X).
5. In the event of strong winds or a storm, it is
necessary to additionally secure the tent with the
attached storm cords. To adjust the length of the
storm cord, push the Stormcord Collector up or
down. If the storm cord is not required, wrap the
cord around the Stormcord Collector and secure
the end on the hook provided for this purpose (V).

6. The VAUDE Y-stakes that come with our tents
are very durable and resistant to bending and
especially suited for hard ground and grass. For
extremely hard ground, we recommend the use
of tent pegs or spikes. VAUDE offers special stakes
for very soft ground, snow or sand. Hammer them
in vertically for soft soil or bury them horizontally
to anchor in sand or fresh powder snow (Y).
