Torpedo7 Large 6 Instructions

Assembly
• Find a clear area of even ground and ensure it is free of sharp objects before the
tent is pitched – these tents require a minimum of two people to assemble and pitch
correctly.
• Avoid pitching under trees – falling tree branches and bird poo won't keep your tent
looking new. Also orient the back of the tent to keep it more streamlined to the
prevailing wind and allow the rear vent to circulate more air.
• Spread out the tent and peg out the
corners.
[Figure 1]
• Angle the tent pegs at 45 degrees and
use a rubber mallet to hammer the pegs
into the ground (to avoid damage to the
pegs).
• Once pegged, start inflating the air
beams, starting with the air beams in
the center.
• Remove caps and attach the hose of
the air pump, ensuring the purge valve is
attached to the pump.
• As the tubes take shape get the second
person to raise the tubes and prevent them
from buckling from inside the tent to enable
the air to set the central
lounge area.
• Secure the central dome of
the lounge with guy ropes
and repeat the inflation
process at the end room air
tubes and then the front
entrance air tube.
• Do not try to over inflate
the air tubes. When the
purge valve starts to purge excess air –
your air tube is at maximum pressure.
Trying to force more air in the bladder at
this point can cause damage.
• Ensure all entrances are open when you
inflate the tent to allow airflow and ease the
process.

• Once all air tubes are inflated, peg out the remaining peg points and guy
ropes. Make sure the floor of the tent is sitting flat and even. All entrances should
be closed for this next step and the pegs closest to the zippers of the entrances be
pegged cross wise – this takes all the tension out of the zippers. Now that the
overall tent structure is secure, adjust the tensioning buckles/straps at each peg
points to ensure they are pulling
• Securely attach the valve caps for
all the bedroom and entrance air
beams or they can leak air.
• Complete the assembly by
attaching the inner room of the tent
by aligning the toggles on the inner
room with the sewn in O-
rings/tabs inside the tent.
[Figure 3]
• The zippered door of the inner
room should face towards the
tent entrance.
• Ensure the doors of the inner
rooms are zipped up during
assembly (note some air tents the
rooms may be pre-assembled).
• Double check that you have
pegged out all the remaining
guy ropes and fine tune the

TENSION THE FLY as you will
need to allow for changes in
weather and wind strength.
• Peg out the front and rear draft
vents at each end of the tent –
these will keep the air
circulating in the tent and maintain a more comfortable interior temperature – you can
adjust the amount of venting by relocating the tension/location of the pegs of the draft
vent.
• Reduce vent size in cold weather- but still allow some air flow to reduce internal
condensation, which will occur on all single layer tents to various degrees.
