Product Usage Instructions

  1. Before replacing the pole or sleeve, ensure that the air stoppers on the inner tube are undone and removed.
  2. Undo the velcro straps that hold the inflated pole in place inside the tent.
  3. Reach into the peak of the tent and locate the canvas tie that holds the peak of the poles. Undo this tie and pull out the entire pole structure and sleeve from the tent.
  4. Unzip the horizontal zip that goes around the center of the ole structure to reveal the inner tube.
  5. Remove the inner tube from the Air Tent sleeve.
  6. If you are replacing both the pole and sleeve, ignore steps 4 and 5 and start again from step 6.
  7. To replace the inner tube and sleeve, start with the left inner tube with air valve and left sleeve with a hole. Hold the end of the inner tube and slide it all the way into the end of the sleeve, ensuring that the tube remains untwisted. The seam along the edge of the pole should not cross any seams on the sleeve.
  8. Continue inserting all the inner tubes into their respective sleeves, making sure to avoid twisting the tubes.
  9. Zip the horizontal zip around the center of the sleeve and tubes closed. Use a cable tie or string to knot the ends of the zippers together for added security.
  10. Place the rings on the air valves around the air holes on the   inner tube and use screw-on rings to secure them in place.
  11. Insert the poles (tube and sleeve) back into the tent, ensuring that the two poles with air valves are located on either side of       the doorway.
  12. Re-seal all velcro closures on the tent.
  13. Partially inflate the tent, leaving some room for adjustments.
  14. Reach into the top of the tent and re-tie the peaks of the   poles into place by threading them one by one onto the canvas strap in the roof of the tent.

Following these instructions will help you successfully replace the pole or sleeve on your Lotus Belle Air Bud / Belle Tent, ensuring its proper functioning and longevity.

Replacing the Pole / Sleeve on your Lotus Belle Air Bud / Belle Tent

These are the instructions for removing an inner tube from one of our Air Tents. We have used an Air Bud, but the principle is the same for replacing on the Air Belle. If you are replacing both the pole and the sleeve, then follow steps 1-3 to remove your existing pole from the tent, ignore steps 4&5 and start again from step 6.

Step 1
Undo and remove the air stoppers on the inner tube.

PLEASE NOTE
on the newer versions of the air tents, you will notice an extra red air valve (see image). Please do not unscrew this and make sure not to lose this red valve cover. This is to prevent over-inflation of the tent. This should simply stay screwed in and pop through the sleeve of the tent when removing the tube.

Step 2
Undo the velcro straps which hold the inflated pole in place in the tent.

Step 3
Reach into the peak of the tent and find the canvas tie which holds the peak of the poles in place. Undo this, and then pull the whole pole structure and sleeve out of the tent.

Step 4
Unzip the zip which goes in a horizontal circle around the center of the pole structure to reveal the inner tube.

Step 5
Remove the inner tube from the Air Tent sleeve.

Step 6
Get your new (or existing repaired) pole sleeve and locate the TWO legs which have the holes that can accommodate the air valves.
Locate the TWO air valves on your new tube and match them up with the TWO holes on the sleeves , ensuring that the valves are facing inwards towards the centre of the tent – so that the horizontal zipper is on the inside of the tent when you are done.
It is important that you find both, so that you do not accidentally end up one tube to the left or right of where you are meant to be.

Step 7
Start with the left inner tube with air valve and left sleeve with hole: hold the end of the inner tube and slide it all the way in to the end of the sleeve (pull it up over your arm like you would pull on tights), making sure to keep the tube untwisted as you insert it. You can check this by feeling the seam along the edge of the pole, it should not cross any seams on the sleeve.

Step 8
Work your way around, inserting all the inner tubes into their respective sleeves.

PLEASE NOTE: in pre-2021 models you will not have zippers down the legs of your sleeves – in which case the principle is the same, but the process is a little more tricky as you have to push the inner tube down to the base of your sleeve like inserting a child’s foot into a pair of tights – making sure that the tights do not get twisted on the leg as you go.

Step 9
Now insert the shorter pointy bits of the inner tube into their corresponding sleeves.

Step 10
Zip the horizontal zip around the center of the sleeve / tubes closed. Next, use a cable tie or string to knot the ends of the zippers together (on the central ring there is a little loop to tie a string through) – this part is incredibly important otherwise the zippers can come undone once it is inflated and the air pole will burst out through the hole and have an ugly hemorrhage.

Step 11
Place the rings on the air valves around the air holes on the inner tube and use the screw on rings to secure in place (on the newer models, also pop through the red valve)

Step 12
Insert the poles (tube & sleeve) back into the tent, checking that the two poles with air  valves are located on either side of the doorway.

Step 13
Once all the velcro has been re-sealed and is done up, blow the tent up most of the way (do not fully inflate)

Step 14
It should now be easier to reach in to the top of your tent and re-tie the peaks of the poles into place by threading them one by one on to the canvas strap in the roof of the tent.
