CRUA Culla Maxx Insulated Tent Instruction Manual

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE SUN’S ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT DEGRADES ALMOST EVERY FABRIC AND MATERIAL. IF LEFT IN SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME, FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN. DO NOT STORE TENT ON CONCRETE FLOOR. DO NOT SPRAY THE TENT WITH INSECTICIDE. EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ELECTRIC DEVICES IN AND NEAR TENTS.

Although our tents are constructed to rigid specifications, periods of wind or rain soaking the ground may loosen the stakes and cause the uprights to sink into the ground. This will weaken the rigidity of the overall structure. Water pockets may also form in the roof if the unit is not assembled taut, possibly causing broken frames and torn fabric. Regularly check that your tent is anchored tautly and securely.

Ensure that the tent is fully dry when packing away. If this is not possible when leaving the campsite, take the tent out of its bag as soon as possible and allow it to dry. Never store a tent when wet, as this can seriously degrade the product.

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE, ASSEMBLY, CARE, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE. PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation leading to fire, burns, serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or others.

FIRE, VENTILATION & GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not use gas or other combustion appliances anywhere in, or near your tent.
Do not place hot appliances near the walls, roof or curtains.
Always observe the safety instructions for these appliances.
Never allow children to play near hot appliances.
Make sure all ventilation openings on inner and outer tents as well as any Reflective Flysheets are open all the time to avoid possible suffocation.

DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage or injury

FLAMMABILITY

Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Any tent, even ones treated with flame-resistant chemicals, are not fireproof. The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with any flame source and could result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. THIS TENT IS NOT FIREPROOF, for these reasons:

DO NOT spray the tent with insecticide.
DO NOT use other than Crua Outdoors € recommended water repellent compounds on your tent.
DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent.
DO NOT build fires in or near a tent.
DO NOT leave campfires unattended.

CARBON MONOXIDE GAS WILL KILL YOU

Stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, and any other fuel burning devices that burn propane, natural gas, charcoal, kerosene, coal, or other fuel, produce a toxic gas called Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is an invisible, odorless and colorless gas. A dangerous level can accumulate in a tent that cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. When breathed in, even in small quantities, Carbon Monoxide is absorbed into the bloodstream, replacing, and reducing the oxygen in the bloodstream and causing Carbon Monoxide poisoning and suffocation which will cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. For these reasons:

DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent.
DO NOT build fires in or near a tent.
DO exercise care when using electricity and lighting in and near your tent

SEVERE WEATHER

In some climatic conditions (for example, severe storms, high winds, heavy snow) stakes and guy lines may not be sufficient to anchor a tent securely, which could result in the tent being picked up or blown away, which could cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others. Under such conditions:

DO use supplemental means to anchor the tent.
DO seek appropriate shelter, for example, in a house, cabin building or a secure structure other than a tent.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD
Any tent must be properly ventilated in all weather conditions to allow sufficient airflow into and out of the tent. If airflow into and out of the tent is obstructed (for example, heavy snow or bedding/pillows covering vents) you and other persons will suffer from a lack of oxygen and suffocate resulting in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others For these reasons:

DO clear snow or other materials away from any external vents frequently,
DO ensure that bedding, pillows, backpacks, etc. are kept away from any internal vents.
DONOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment or any other fuel-burning devices, in or near the tent. (SEE CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING).

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN

DO NOT leave children unattended inside or around a tent.
DO NOT allow children to set-up or take down a tent.
DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a tent except through the door.
DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up tent on hot days.
DO NOT allow children to play with any plastic bags or other packaging material as there is a risk of suffocation. Your failure to followthis warning will cause death, serious injury or permanent disability to your children.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Before using this product, read and fully understand:

Attached Warning Labels.
This instruction manual and all accompanying documentation.

KEEP ALL EXITS CLEAR

ENTILATION

Any tent must be properly ventilated in all weather conditions to allow sufficient airflow into and out of the tent. Please familiarize yourself with all vents and openings in your tent to ensure you can maintain adequate ventilation. There are three main reasons we promote ventilation within a tent, as in the same way we would in any dwelling like a house or apartment. These are Airflow, Air quality, and Condensation Reduction.

AIRFLOW: Without airflow or fresh air into the tent, your environment will become stale and stuffy. It is important to promote good quality airflow throughout the tent.
AIR QUALITY : A buildup of any harmful gasses (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and others) is possible in an enclosed space. For this reason, you must always have adequate ventilation in your tent to ensure a good flow of air from outside.
CONDENSATION REDUCTION: Leaving the vents open, supplemented by partially opening windows and doors at night to provide cross ventilation is a good way to reduce condensation.

Given the importance of proper ventilation, for airflow, air quality and condensation reduction, we use high and low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. Opening both the high and low vents is important as this allows for this cross ventilation. If your tent has vents in the porch / vestibule, then it is important to also keep those vents open. Failure to vent your tent properly, may result in serious injury, permanent disability, or death to you or to others.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you know the fire precaution arrangements on the site.
Consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards.
Make sure you anchor your tent at all times.
Please be mindful of guiltiness, bathtub floors, straps, and other parts of tents as they can be a potential trip hazard.

IMPORTANT We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our information. We do, however, have a policy of continuous improvement and we therefore reserve the right to change or amend designs and specifications without prior notice. Please refer to www.cruaoutdoors.com/pages/instructions for the most up-to-date safety setup and instructions.

SET-UP
IMPORTANT: WE ADVISE YOU TO ASSEMBLE THE TENT ONCE BEFORE GOING CAMPING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF THE

TENT. Take out and organize all the contents from the carry bags. Set-up of your tent may take longer in windy conditions due to the extra caution needed.

A .Erecting the Tent

NOTE : The Crua Culla/Culla Max/Culla Family are inner tents. They are not waterproof, so they should always be placed inside another tent or properly covered from the elements when using.

Al. Unroll the tent inside the outer tent making sure the door is in the same direction as the outer tent door.

A2. Starting from one end of the tent unscrew the top cap of the inflation valve and attach the pump nozzle.

A3. Inflate each pole until it is quite firm (7 PSI if your pump has a gauge).

A4. Once all the air poles have sprung outwards, assuming their correct shape, detach the pump from the tent and tighten the outer valve cap on each inflation point, it is important that these are tight to prevent seepage of air.

A5. (Culla Maxx/Family tent only) Assemble all 3 poles provided. These poles are slotted into tabs half way up the tent body on inside of tent to spread the tent taught. The longest pole is used on the back wall and the two shorter poles are added to both sides.

NOTE: Some versions have 2 valves (one for each pole) and some versions have just 1 inflation valve and 1 air control/pressure valve. In this case, the 1 inflation valve will inflate the entire tent.

B. Ventilation

B1. There are two vents located at the top of all the Cullas/Crucoon. Unhook the dog-bone toggle and roll up the flaps and secure them away.

B2. Older versions of the Cullas have lower bottom vents. Newer versions of the Cullas and the Crucoon have 2 window/vents. There are a couple of ways to open the window/vents on the walls: 1) fully unzip the sides of the curtain and place the brace on the velcro patch at the bottom of the curtain to keep it open 2) the curtain can be fully unzipped, rolled up and secured.

B3. Toggles have been added to the inside of the doors of all Cullas and the Crucoon. This allows you to partially unzip one or both sides of the door and fold back the door, toggling it up. This creates an additional vent at the bottom of the tent. In some cases, having a vent open at the very bottom as well as one up high will aid in the circulation of air.

NOTE When using any of the Cullas or Crucoon inside another Crua Tent, ensure that at least 2 upper and 2 lower vents on the inner and outer tent are open to allow for proper airflow.

NOTE When using any of the Cullas or the Crucoon in another brand’s tent, then all vents on both the inner and outer tent should be opened to allow for proper airflow. Doors and windows of the Cullas/Crucoon and the outer tent can also be used for additional airflow if needed.

NOTE When using any of the Cullas or the Crucoon in another tent please ensure that the outer tent is big enough to accept the Culla/Cruccon and that there is plenty of clearance between the outer tent and the inner tent. Insufficient clearance will limit airlfow and increase condensation.

TAKE DOWN

A. Take Down Al. Partially close all doors and openings.

A2. Open the valves on each pole. The tent will start to deflate. Wait until most of the air has expelled.

A3. Fold both sides to meet in the middle and then fold one more time together and roll. Use the compression straps to keep the tent in a tight rolled shape and allow it to easily fit in the bag.

B. Rolling
up Always roll towards the door of the tent. This will help the air trapped in the tent or the air beams to be pushed out while it’s being rolled up. Leave valves open while not in use.
