to the pole sleeve, the frame arches should not be
fed in with force. To do this, you must keep an eye
on the pole sleeve material and carefully pull it over
the pole from the back.
6. When all the frame arches have been inserted, start
to insert into the pole pins that are attached to the
tape. Tension the intersecting frame arches in se-
quence (E).
7. Now secure the ridge poles using the clips (F).
8. Throw the rain hood over the center of the tent and
gradually secure it to the tapes and the clips on the
pole ends using the buckles (G).
9. Now tension the corners of the tent; first insert a
peg into the short loop, and then into the long loop
with the short pole. Then slacken the entrance
area.
10. Open the window, put up the hood connector or
remove the ridge hood to ensure a pleasant clima-
te in the tent.
TAKE DOWN – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove everything from the tent's interior.
Freestanding tents can be gently shaken out to
remove leaves, sand, and other debris.
Turn the tent over with floor facing upward and
allow it to dry a bit longer.
If it's not possible to dry the tent completely before
packing it, this should be done within 12 hours to
prevent the risk of mold and mildew growth.
As in the tent set up, never pull the poles out of the
pole sleeves; rather push them through.
When storing a tent in its stuff sack, make sure that
stakes and poles don't press against the tent fabric
and damage it.
Before taking down your tent, close all zips and
roll up the guy lines. That way you won't have to
untangle them when it comes time to set the tent
up again, and pitching is that much easier.
DISMANTLING – "MODEL-SPECIFIC":
1. Remove the ridgepole from the pole sleeve.
2. Relax the poles/feet and allow the tent to collapse
