Kiwi Camping Kea 4E Pitching Instructions

Kea 4E Recreational Tent
Model No. KC072-369
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Your tent includes:
25 x pegs
6 x ropes
2 x BLACK fibreglass poles (5350mm x 9.5mm)
1 x RED fibreglass pole (4985mm x 9.5mm)
1. Select a dry, level site and clear
the ground of any sharp objects.
Remove the tent from it's carry
bag, untie fabric ties and unroll
the tent.
2. Spread out the floor of the inner
tent and peg out the four main
corners first, ensuring that the
tent is pulled taut and square.
Unzip and open the doors to
make erecting the tent easier.
3. Assemble the two BLACK
fibreglass poles by interlocking
the sections. Thread the BLACK
poles through the webbing loop
at the peak of the inner to form
an X.
4. Connect one end of the
first BLACK pole onto
the pin located on the
corner of the tent, and
then connect the other
end of the pole to the pin
on the corner diagonally
opposite. Clip on the
bottom two speed clips
to help hold the pole in
place. Repeat this for the
second pole so that they
have created an 'X' in the
middle of the tent.
5. Attach the remaining
speed-clips to the
corresponding poles.
Peg out the front ground
sheet. The inner tent is
now pitched.
6. Carefully pull the fly up
over the inner tent with
the doors lining up at
front and back. Tie the
fly around the poles at
the peak of the tent, then
wrap the velcro ties on
the underside of the fly
around the corresponding
fibreglass poles to ensure
the fly is on correctly. Peg
out the rear of the fly.
7. Assemble the remaining
RED fibreglass pole
and feed through the
RED pole sleeve at
the front of the fly.
Connect each end
of the pole to the
remaining pins at
the front corners of
the tent. Peg out the
corners of the fly.
8. Peg out at an angle
the ventilation ports
on each side of the
tent.
9. Peg out the vestibule with the front door closed, then continue to
peg any remaining peg points on the fly.
10. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the fly so it remains
taut and positioned correctly over the tent.
REVERSE THE PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE TENT
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
After you have removed the fly, lay it flat inside the tent. This
makes it easier to fold the tent. Pack the poles and pegs into their
bags. When folding the tent inner leave all doors and windows
open. Fold the inner tent floor from each side to the centre and in
half again. Adjust to the length of the poles. Place the poles onto
the floor and roll them inside so that the floor is on the outside.
Store and pack the tent in it's bag.
