Bellbird Tent
Model No. KC072-446

PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS

Your tent includes:

1 x STEEL centre pole
2 x STEEL door poles
1 x door A-bend
29 x pegs
19 x ropes

USING INSTRUCTION

Select a dry, level site and clear the ground of any sharp objects. Remove the tent from its carry bag, untie fabric ties and unroll the tent in your selected location.
Spread out the floor of the tent and peg out all points ensuring that the tent is pulled taut. Unzip and open the door to make erecting the tent easier.
To make sure the tent stays in place insert the pegs into the ground at a 45° angle, not straight down.
Assemble the main/centre pole by interlocking the sections together, ensuring that each end of the pole has an end cap.
Thread the pole through the main door. Place the top end cap into the reinforced centre of the tent roof. Slowly walk the pole into the centre of the tent while pushing up on the pole. Stop when the pole is fully vertical and lever in to the centre of the tent. Secure the base of the pole in the central floor pocket.
Inside the tent assemble the remaining poles into an A-frame for easier installation. It is easier to install the A-frame if the poles are not fully extended. Insert the top pin of the A-frame through the eyelet at the top of the door opening. lace the pole-tip hat on top of the pole on the outside of the tent to stop any water seeping in.
Secure the A-frame leg ends into the pockets on the tent floor. These are located on either side of the entrance. Fully extend the poles after they are securely in place.
Peg out all the guy ropes and tighten with tri-tensioners to ensure they are taut.

REVERSE THE PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE TENT

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags. Evenly layout the fly leaving the door open. Fold the tent floor from each end to the centre. Fold again to the width of the tent bag. Place the tent pole and peg bags at the end of your folded tent. Roll from back to front, forcing all of the air out the front door. Roll into the tent bag provided.

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.

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.
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.
Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your tent.
For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other person to assist in pitching the tent.
Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Do not use open flame or gas appliances in or near your tent.
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.
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.
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 pole ends and result in breakage when the pole is tensioned.
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.
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.
Hold the flaps up, when closing the doors, to take pressure off the zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never overstretched, especially as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
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 the tent.
Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and ensure to store it in a dry environment.

IMPORTANT

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. Minimise condensation by opening windows and airing out your tent during the day and by removing any wet clothing/towels etc.
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.
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.
DO NOT leave the 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.
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.
You may want to insure your tent against loss or damage.
