NOTE
•
The canopy comes with heavy duty 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 canopy into
the ground.
•
Peg each guy line in-line with the seam it starts from.
Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the canopy:
•
The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up
will vary slightly based on the model of canopy.
•
Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
•
Peg the guy lines so that the canopy is under tension without distort-
ing the shape.
•
Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if
necessary use the runners to adjust.
Set up the canopy as follows:
1. To protect the canopy from dirt and damage, lay down a ground-
sheet or footprint before unpacking.
2. Unpack the canopy.
3. Separate and identify the different components.
4. Proceed as shown to set up the canopy (fig. 2, page 3 to fig. 9,
page 4).
Dismantling the canopy
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Do not use force when dismantling the canopy. Otherwise
you might damage any material.
1. Remove any dirt on the outside.
2. Remove all pegs.
3. Remove all lines and straps.
4. Open the valves on each pole.
5. Wait until most of the air has been expelled.
6. Unzip the canopy.
7. Fold/roll the canopy towards the valves to expel more air.
8. When deflated, roll the canopy to fit into the carry bag.
9. Ensure that all parts are clean before packing them into the carry bag.
10. If the canopy is wet or damp, dry fully as soon as possible.
Storing the canopy
I
NOTE
•
Fully set up the canopy for cleaning.
•
Choose a sunny day for cleaning to ensure the material
will dry thoroughly.
1. Clean the canopy.
2. Air fully and ensure the canopy is totally dry before packing away.
3. Store in a well ventilated dry place.

Cleaning and maintenance
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
•
Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for
cleaning.
•
Do not use alcohol based materials, chemicals, soap
and detergents for cleaning.
•
Remove bird droppings and tree resin as soon as
possible to avoid permanent damage to the material.
1. If necessary, clean the product with clean water and a soft brush.
2. Apply impregnation against water and UV radiation before each trip.
Condensation
All canopies suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the
following conditions apply:
•
High air humidity
•
High ground moisture
•
A drop in temperature
Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties,
tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
➤ Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
➤ Ensure that the material is not permanently damp. If necessary, dry it
completely to avoid mold growth.
Troubleshooting
I
NOTE
•
During first exposure to water there may be some
moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads
will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing
process.

➤ Check if the air pole is twisted at the valve.This
may be indicated by noise. Untwist the air pole.
➤ Check that the hand pump is working.
➤ Add more air (9 psi/0.62 bar).
➤ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air
pole and the ring seal is in place.
➤ Check that the cap of the valve is done up
tightly.
➤ Check for punctures, see chapter "Trouble-
shooting" on page 6.
➤ Check for leaky seams, damaged taping and
moist areas.
➤ If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter "Con-
densation" on page 6.
➤ If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
