DARCHE TERRA MAGNA Manual

TERRA MAGNA MATTRESS

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
Congratulations on your recent purchase of a Darche Terra Magna Mattress. Prior to first use, please thoroughly
read the instructions and warnings below. Should you have any questions or require assistance, contact your
Darche retailer or call our customer service line: 1300 367 695.
Your Terra Magna mattress has been tightly vacuum packed for transportation reasons. Manufactured using
19Kg/m3 Hi density open cell foam enclosed in an air tight construction, thousands of tiny pockets will
expand as air is drawn in via the open valves.
Prior to first use, please open all valves and allow foam to expand. Initial inflation times may vary depending on
ambient temperature. Warmer weather and exposure to direct sunlight for up to 8 hours will speed up this process.
During this process it is recommended to roll the mattress tight and then release up to 3 times.
When using the mattress, allow up to 30 minutes for proper or desired inflation and comfort level. As the cells gain
memory from continual use, inflation times will decrease.
Inflation times may vary depending on ambient temperature. Warmer temperatures will speed up inflation whilst
cooler temperatures may prolong it.

SITE SELECTION

Use within tent, swag, on top of stretcher, home
etc. Do not use directly on top of sharp objects.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

INFLATION

1. To inflate, release valve caps located at end of mattress plus 2 x side valve caps by turning anti-clockwise.
2. Once mattress is no longer drawing air and self-inflation is complete, tighten valve caps by turning clockwise.
NOTE: ENSURE CAPS ARE SCREWED ON CORRECTLY TO AVOID CROSS THREADING. CROSS THREADING WILL
CREATE AN INSUFFICIENT SEAL ALLOWING AIR TO ESCAPE OR DRAW WHEN NOT DESIRED.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSOR OR HAND PUMP TO INFLATE MATTRESS.

DEFLATION

1. Unscrew and release all valve caps by turning anti-clockwise.
2. With valves in open position, start rolling the mattress from the opposite end.
3. When rolling is complete, close all valves and tighten caps by turning clockwise.
4. Repeat process if required.
5. Secure holding straps and stow mattress in carry bag.
NOTE: TO ASSIST WITH DEFLATION, USE YOUR KNEES TO HOLD THE MATTRESS BETWEEN ROLLS.
FOR TERRA MAGNA 1100 AND TERRA MAGNA 1400, 2 PEOPLE MAY BE REQUIRED TO DEFLATE
AND ROLL THE MATTRESS.
