Vango AIRBEAM EVOQUE Pitching Instructions

TENT PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS- AIRBEAM EVOQUE/ECLIPSE/INSPIRE/ILLUSION FRONT AWNING (UK)
Pitching Instructions
 Open out flysheet and position in required direction
 Locate inflation points on each beam
 Remove the valve cap
 Insert the correct pump adaptor, which will lock onto the valve
 There is no need to turn the white valve button as the adaptor will move this to the correct position
 Inflate all tubes to 7psi. The tubes MUST be guided into an arch as they are inflated
 Final tube pressure MUST NOT exceed 8psi

DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE BEAMS
 Start with the centre tube and guide the beam into an upright position while it is inflating
 Inflate the other beams.
 A small amount of air may leak from the valve when it is being inflated but this is normal
 Remove the pump adaptor as soon as the beam is at the correct psi

Replace the valve cap to create an air tight seal
 Position the open end of the awning toward the tent
 Peg out awning base at contact point with the tent and then the front of the awning to tension the material
 Secure in position by zipping the awning onto the corresponding zip at the front of the tent and clipping the rear awning clips onto the
front tent pole.
 Peg out ALL guy lines, ensuring that they are in line with the AirBeam or seam they are attached to.
 Peg out the remaining poles and pegging points using pin pegs at the base of poles
 Reposition and adjust tensioning where necessary
Correct Pump Set Up:
 Pump Body > Pressure Valve > Pressure Gauge > Hose
 (Ensure the valve/gauge/hose are connected to the inflation port of the pump)
In the unlikely event of a puncture:
 Deflate the air beam. Unzip the internal flysheet sleeve which contains the affected beam.
 Remove the tube and its protective outer.
 The zips for the protective outer are cable tied together to prevent accidental access. Cut the cable tie and open the zip.
 DO NOT open these zips when the tube inflated.
 Remove the clear rubberised tube from the protective sleeve taking care when removing the valve from the sleeve.
 Partially inflate the tube and pass through a bucket or basin of water, looking for air bubbles. This will indicate location of puncture
 Use the repair patch provided and cover hole, using instructions on patch. Re-insert tube into protective outer, closing zip from both
ends, so that zip pullers are in the flysheet sleeve (this might be easier with the tube partially inflated)
 Vango awnings are designed for use in lowland, sheltered campsites. Do not pitch in high winds or exposed campsites
