SETUP INSTRUCTIONS & STEPS
-
TEST RUN (RECOMMENDED)
It is recommended to practice setting up your San Hima air tent in a suitable site to ensure you’ve fully understood the steps. -
SITING
Select a site that is dry and level and, if possible, protected from the wind. Clear the ground of any sharp objects to avoid damaging the tent. It is recommended to set up your air tent with the door facing away from the wind. DO NOT pitching your tent under the trees as falling branches and sap might damage the tent. -
UNPACKING
Be careful when opening.- Take the product out of the package.
- Check to make sure that the product and its accessories is complete (see parts list).
- Check whether the product or the individual parts exhibit damage. If there is ANY, DO NOT use the product.
- San Hima recommends taking a photo to see how the product is packed. This will help you when it comes to storage.
-
UNFOLDING THE TENT
Spread out the air tent, ensure the floor facing down, orient the tent in the correct direction and peg out the four main corners ensuring the tent is pulled taut and square. It is recommended to pitch the tent so it is in line with wind, never side on. -
INFLATION
- There is an external valve located on the air tube. Before inflating, unscrew the valve cap on top of the valve. Insert the pump hose into the valve and start inflating with the supplied San Hima
- Hurricane air pump.
- You may need to help the tube stand up when you’ve inflated it to about 5 PSI so keep pumping until the tube feels rigid. Make sure you ONLY inflate to the recommended pressure (6 PSI) as over -inflation can lead to damage. Once you have finished inflating, remove the pump nozzle and replace the outer securing cap. NEVER USE ELECTRIC AIR COMPRESSORS.
- Ensure the strap is located above the joint of the air tube and its velcro tape sticks on it.
-
ADJUST THE FLOOR
Making sure the tent is sitting evenly. You may need to adjust the base of each air pole so it sits flat with the ground. -
PEGGING
When pegging out poles, make sure the ropes are at a 45° angle to pull even tension on the flap.
-
GUY ROPES
Unravel the guy ropes and pull them away from the tent, while making sure they are tensioned. The length and rope tension of individual ropes can be adapted by the fasteners attached to some of the ropes. Secure the guy ropes at suitable spots in the ground using the pegs. Use a hammer (not included) if necessary to drive the pegs into the ground. -
AWNING
Starting from one side of the awning, slide the top of the stainless steel pole through the ring of the awning. Secure the pole in place by its end into the ground. The pole has been set up and is under tension. -
DEFLATION
- Close the mesh door, but leave the door open to allow air to escape.
- Peg out all ropes and roll them up.
- Peg out all pegs, clean and dry the pegs before storage.
- Carefully open the outer cap of the valve. Carefully press the beam to release the air. Never force the air out of the beam, as you might risk damaging the pole. When packing the tent away, the valves should be left open to allow any trapped air to escape.
-
FOLDING
- Fold the steps as per below. Ensure that the air valve is not obstructed to allow the remaining air to escape. To reduce the chance of valve malfunction, the valve should be fully unscrewed when the product is in storage. Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and store it in a dry environment.
IMPORTANT:
- Your San Hima air tent is made from the best available materials. After several times of use, you may find some slight variances in colour and changes due to the weather and the environment. These are all normal and will not affect the performance of the product and are not faults or errors.
- You may also experience, depending on the weather and use, condensation. This should not be confused with leakage. To reduce the risks of condensation, please ensure your tent is adequately ventilated. Please note that under certain conditions, all tents will suffer from internal condensation depending on atmospheric conditions, the weather, the amount of moisture in the air/ ground, evening and night time temperatures etc.
- Discolouration of the fabric may be an early indication that your tent has been attacked. To limit damage by UV, wherever possible, please site your air tent in a shaded area avoiding direct sunlight. Fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
- The San Hima air tent is designed to be a reliable companion on your adventures. In order to keep it performing at its best, San Hima recommends some care and maintenance steps that will help prolong its life.
- Prior to each use, inspect your air tent and its accessories.
- Dry your air tent thoroughly before you close it. If unable to properly dry your air tent prior to closing, open it up and air dry it at your next opportunity. Failure to properly dry your tent can lead to the growth of mold and mildew which can degrade the tent material, cause discoloration, and foul odor.
- To clean your air tent use with cold water and a sponge. DO NOT use soap or detergent.
- Zippers should be pulled with even force and in a gentle manner. Keep your zippers free from dust and dirt.
