Alpkit KANGRI - 4 Season 2 Person Geodesic Mountain Tent Manual

INTRODUCTION

Introducing your new Kangri tent. A roomy 2 person (or cosy 3 person), 4 pole geodesic mountain tent with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Think of it as your personal fortress to shield you from the worst weather the mountains can throw at you, that is also light enough to carry.

• This tent is NOT fireproof and will burn in seconds if exposed to flame or excessive heat.
• Do not cook in your tent.
• Do not place hot appliances close to the walls or roof of your tent, observe safety warnings for any appliances and do not allow children to play near them.
• Keep exits of tent free from obstructions and woodland creatures, they will steal your food.
• Maintain adequate ventilation at all times, death by suffocation is possible. Always store any cheesy socks in vestibules or outside tent.
• Anchor your tent carefully at all times: the use of tent pegs is recommended, anchors are very heavy.
• Choose your campsite wisely, be aware of the possibility of falling rocks and trees, lightning, flash floods, avalanches and airborne whales.
• Using an additional footprint provides extra protection if pitching on rough or boggy ground.

PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Kangri pitches inner first. If you have a footprint now is the time to peg it out. Ensure the ground is free from sharp objects and rocks that may damage your groundsheet.
2. Lay the inner tent out on the ground and peg it out.
3. Assemble all poles and thread them through the colour coded pole sleeves and insert one end of each pole into the eyelets at the pegout points (1). It does not matter which of the eyelets the poles go into.
   
4. Erect the inner by carefully pushing into the sleeves from the other end, long gold poles first, then the shorter grey poles.
5. Clip the plastic pole clips on the inner canopy to the poles (2).
   
6. Place the tent outer over the top of the inner canopy, connect the outer tent to pegout points using the buckles.
7. Tension the tent by adjusting the buckles at the pegout points (3), peg and tension the guylines as required.
   
8. Happy camping!

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean and dry tent thoroughly after each use.
• Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer to clean your tent. Car washes are also frowned upon.
• Spot clean with mild detergent and warm water.

• Pack tent carefully to avoid punctures.
