KIWI camping KC072-455 Kea 6 Family Tent Instruction Manual

Your tent includes:

• 49 x steel pegs (5mm D X 230mm L)
• 18 x ropes
• 2 x BLACK fibreglass poles (571 Omm x 9.5mm)
• 1 x BLACK fibreglass pole with ORANGE ferrules (5345mm x 1 1 mm/9.5mm)
• 2 x GREY fibreglass pole (51 15mm x 9.5mm/8.5mm)
• 2 x steel PORCH poles (1900mm x 16mm)

(this will take 2 people). Attach the speed-clips. The main room  is now up.

5. Thread one of the GREY poles through the power mesh sleeve  at the back of the tent, make sure it goes over the BLACK  poles where they cross. Fit onto the pin fitting at each end. Tie  the poles together with the fabric tie. Clip on all speed-clips.  Repeat this for the front GREY pole.

6. Thread the ORANGE fibreglass pole through the ORANGE pole sleeve at the front of the inner. Connect each end of the pole to the remaining pin fittings at the base of the inner. Clip on all  speed-clips. Your inner is now erected.

7. Carefully pull the fly up over the inner tent with the doors lining up at front and back. Centralise the fly and peg out the four corners. Secure the hook and loop tabs on the underside of  the fly around the corresponding fibreglass poles to ensure fly  is on correctly. This helps the tent’s performance in the wind.  Zip up the doors and finish pegging out the fly.

8. Peg out at an angle the ventilation ports on each side of the tent.
9. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine-tune the fly so it remains  taut and positioned correctly over the tent.
10. To erect the porch, insert the steel PORCH poles into the eyelets on the doors. Peg out at a 450 angle to ensure adequate tension. In light rain, remove the middle section to allow any water build-up to run off. In heavy rain, pull the flap down to stop water build-up.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags. Evenly lay out the outer fly inside the tent inner leaving all doors and windows open. Fold the inner tent floor from each side to the centre and in half again. Adjust to the length of the poles. Place the poles onto the floor and roll them inside so that the floor is on the outside. Store and pack the tent in  its bag.

TENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE TENT CARE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS TENT BEFORE USING YOUR TENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

1. Before you use your new tent, fully unpack and pitch it at home. It is important to familiarise yourself with the set-up procedure and the various features.
2. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry, will drain well if it rains and is protected from wind and other elements.
3. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your tent.
4. For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other person to assist in pitching the tent.
5. Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Do not use open flame or gas appliances in or near your tent.
6. Do not use aerosol sprays or any solvent-based products in or around your tent as these could damage the fabric or special coatings. These products include but are not limited to: repellent spray, hair sprays, alcohol, detergents, fly spray, petrol, kerosene etc.
7. Please note, the warranty on this tent will be deemed void if the product is used for any purpose other than a temporary, recreational use shelter.
8. Handle the tent poles carefully. When unfolding and folding the tent poles, do not allow the shock cord to pull and snap the ends together. This can damage the poles ends and result in breakage when the pole is tensioned.
9. Especially in windy conditions, it is essential that you attach guy ropes and fasten them to the ground. We suggest you insert the pegs into the ground at a 45° angle towards the tent, not straight down. Please note, your tent will not be covered under warranty if wind damage occurs.
10. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your tent is secure and to prevent damage to both yourself and the tent. Check guy ropes/pegs daily.
11. Ensure there is an adequate gap between the fly and inner tent to enable ventilation and to prevent condensation build-up.
12. When closing the doors, hold the flaps up to take pressure off the zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never overstretched, especially as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
13. To clean your tent, only ever use a soft sponge and warm water. DO NOT use excessive force or other harsh cleaners to remove marks from tent.
14. Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and ensure to store it in a dry environment.

IMPORTANT:

1. Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity etc.) condensation may form on the inside of your tent fly. Condensation can occur for many reasons including vapour from your breath, perspiration, cooking nearby or wet clothing inside your tent. This does NOT mean your tent is leaking through the fabric. You can minimise condensation by opening windows and airing out your tent during the day and by removing any wet clothing/towels etc.

2. Try to avoid pitching your tent under trees as tree limbs, falling leaves, sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from the trees can cause damage to the tent fabric and its special coatings resulting in leakage or discolouration.

3. Only remove the tent pegs by pulling on the peg itself. NEVER pull on the tent or the webbing loops to remove pegs as it could result in damage to the tent or personal injury.

4. DO NOT leave tent pitched for weeks at a time as extended exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage and/or cause it to discolour. Your tent will not be covered under warranty if you leave it up for many weeks at a time.

5. STORAGE:
   NEVER store your tent wet or dirty (even for short periods of time). NEVER store your pegs or poles inside your tent. Always use the separate bags they are supplied in.

6. You may want to insure your tent against loss or damage.
