Nordic Lynx Expedition Tent

Congratulation on your new Robens Tent designed and created to accompany you out into the great outdoors.

Note how you unpack the tent sothe process can be reversed to aid packing away.
Spread out the tent and place it with the doors facing the desired directions and, for best aerodynamic stability, position it with the rear into the wind.

Assemble and raise the tent

Assemble the shock-corded main pole and push through the colour-coded pole sleeve.
Make sure the pole is pushed all the way to the end of the pole sleeve before moving on.
Place the pole under tension by placing its free end into the eyelets located in the web strap below the corresponding pole sleeve exit point.
Repeat with the other poles.
Position the tent where requires.
Peg out the tent’s rear corner red web loops and pull the front upright until the tent is erect and well tensioned. Peg down the front corner red web loops and all other pegging points.
Note: Oversized pegging points allow the use of skis or ski poles as an alternative to regular tent pegs.
Secure the tent
Peg out the pre-attached guylines to secure the tent againststrong winds.
If setting up in snow with limited pegging options due to frozen ground it is highly recommended to prioritise the guylines holding directly against the wind, by using skis or similar as an anchor.
Finish off by shovelling snow on top of the tent’s snow flaps for added security.

Cleaning and maintenance tips

Get the most out of your camping trip by having a trial run, putting up and taking down your new tent in order to know it before you use it for the first time.
Under certain weather conditions, condensation can occur on the inside surfaces of your tent. To help prevent this you must remove wet clothes etc., increase ventilation or erect your tent on a PVC mat.

Condensation should not be confused with leakage
The flysheet is made of waterproof material. To prevent water from seeping through the flysheet avoid touching the inside surface in rainy weather conditions.
When erecting your tent, do not secure it too tightly, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to varying wind and weather conditions.
If strong winds are expected, replace the normal tent pegs with storm pegs. Do not use guylines to pull out the tent pegs. For stony or hard ground stronger U-form pegs are recommended.

Insecticides must not be sprayed in or on the tent as they may damage the fabric and coating!
When taking down and packing the tent, it must be completely dry to avoid mildew/rotting. We recommend that after use all metal poles be lightly greased with a nonacidic oil.
Remove dirt from the tent with a soft sponge and pure water. Never wash the tent in a washing machine and never have it dry-cleaned.
Store the tent in a dry place.
Even though we have used special waterproof thread for all seams, we recommend that you use a seam sealer or a waterproof spray at regular intervals for all seams around the zips and toggles, these seams are some of the weaker points on your tent as there can be a lot of tension around them.

Please note that the tape may come off after prolonged exposure to the sun. If this happens you can repair your tent by removing loose tape and use a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal seams.
Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time.

If your tent has a mud valance
never use it to adjust the tent or use the mud valance to pull the tent pegs out. The mud valance is one of the weaker points on the tent as it is only designed to keep wind and water out of the living and storage area.

Taking down your tent
When detachable take out the groundsheet and clean it if necessary with a sponge and water. Clean dirty floors the same way. (Allow it to dry before packing the tent).
If the inner tent is wet or dirty, take it out and clean it, the tent can be packed down with or without the inner tent inside.

Then start to unpeg the tent and the guylines. Gently remove the poles from the pins and then gently push the poles through the sleeves. Do not pull the poles through!
You are now ready to fold the tent.
Try to fold it so you have all metal pins/rings at one side (to prevent them from making holes in the flysheet).
When you have folded the tent, measure it with the carrybag to make sure it is not too wide. You should now be able to roll the tent round the poles in their pole bag and fit it into the Robens carrybag.
