Santorini, Pico only:Weathering your product before first use
The product is manufactured with materials that require preparation
before use to maximize its weatherproofing.
1. Fully set up the product outside when rain is expected or where you
can hose the outside of the product to become thoroughly wet.
This process is known as weathering. The weathering process tight-
ens the fabric, and allows the cotton in the sewing thread to swell and
fill the holes made by the sewing needle during the manufacturing
process.
2. Allow the product to dry thoroughly before packing away.
By following this process before first use, will ensure that the product
weatherproofing will improve with subsequent soakings.

Choosing a site
Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:
1. If necessary, use a windbreak.
2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage
the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the
groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

NOTE
• The tent comes with general purpose pegs. These will
be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground
special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
• Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the tent into the
ground.
• Peg the guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the tent:
• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• Inflate the air poles from front to rear.
• After standing the tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if
necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a
rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting
the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.

1. To protect the tent from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or
