Package Contents

Warning Never uses any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc.) inside or within proximity of this tent. The use of fuel-burning inside or within proximity of this tent can result in the accumulation of dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide – a colorless, odorless gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause serious injury or death. Avoid spraying your tent with deodorant as it will destroy the waterproofing.
Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent. This tent is made with flame-resistant fabric but it is not fireproof. The tent fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with an open flame or another heat source. Failure to keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent can result in a fire that can burn.
Before using this product, read and fully understand: (1) the attached warnings; (2) the instruction manual and all accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation leading to injury.
HELPFUL HINT
We recommend that you set up this product before you leave for your trip. Check that all parts are present and that you familiarise yourself with the assembly and disassembly of the product.

Setting Up Your Oztent

Step 1: Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.
Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements. Clear the area of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor. If possible, avoid setting the tent on the ground that is already wet. If you can’t, minimize the resulting humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well ventilated.
We also recommend that you consider some form of ground sheet/protection to minimize wear, tear, and damage to the floor of your tent. The Oztent RV-5 Mesh Floor Saver is an option you may wish to consider. If you are using a ground sheet/floor saver, ensure that you peg it down before setting up your tent.

Step 2: Lay Out the Tent
2.1 Unpack your tent. Place the poles, pegs and fly somewhere clear of your tent space.
2.2 Release the webbing strap around your tent.
2.3 Unroll the tent and then swing out both arms, one at a time.

Step 3: Setting Up
3.1 If you are using the fly (recommended), attach the fly to the zipper located on the upper forward edge of the tent. This is easiest to do when the tent is still laying on the ground.
3.2 Using the strap attached to the middle of the frame, lift the frame up and over your head.
3.3 While supporting the tent, gently slide the bracing arm on either side of the tent into its ‘lock’ position. 3.4 Attach the Velcro tabs located below the bracing arm. This ensures that the tent is not accidentally collapsed.
3.5 Ensure the tent is in the best position and that it sits correctly. Pull out the rear of the tent to expose all peg points. Secure all the bottom peg points, open out the attached guy ropes and peg them down.

Step 4: Setting Up Your Awning
4.1 Once the tent has been pegged to the ground, unroll the front awning.
4.2 Twist to unlock awning poles and twist again to lock at the desired height. Attach the horizontal/ spreader pole between the two uprights. Pop up the awning and secure it with guy ropes as shown.
If you wish- ing to install the 2.2 m Peaking Poles, these are inserted in the eyelet midway along the awning and are as- sembled in the same manner as the front uprights. Adjust all poles and guy ropes to ensure the tent awning is fully secured.

Step 5: Securing the Fly
5.1 Ensure the fly has been attached to the zipper located at the top of the tent (this is easiest to do before the tent is erected. Connect the fly poles through the eyelet on each side of the fly and secure the fly with guy ropes as shown.

  Packing Up Your Oztent

1. Remove all awning poles and attached guy ropes;

2. Roll up the tent awning and the rear window flap;

3. Remove all pegs/stakes;

4. Fold the rear of the tent into and over the rear frame;

5. Ensure that the Velcro loops located below the sliding arm have been released;

6. Walk inside the tent, with one hand supporting the middle of the top frame, use your other hand to
   release the sliding arms, one at a time.

7. To collapse the tent, allow the top frame to pass over your head all the way to the ground;

8. Fold arm “A” towards the tent;

9. Fold arm “B” towards the tent;

10. Roll the tent up neatly and secure with strap;

11. Place the tent, poles pegs and ropes in the carry bag.
    Note that it is not necessary to remove the fly if you do not wish to;
    Ensure that the tent is clean and dry before storage.

Safety and Care Considerations

Ventilation
Maintain adequate ventilation inside your tent at all times.
Campsite Choice
When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods, avalanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants. Select a site that’s level, will drain well if it rains, and is protected from wind and other elements. Clear the area of sharp stones, sticks, and other debris, both for comfort and to protect your floor. If possible, avoid setting the tent on the ground that is already wet. If you can’t minimize the resulting humidity and potential of condensation by keeping your tent well ventilated.
Pegs/Stakes and Ropes
Peg down your tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants. All tents require pegging/staking to prevent them from flying away in a gust of wind. Always anchor your Oztent. Enough pegs/stakes and ropes are supplied to safely set up your tent in most situations. It may be necessary to purchase additional and/or specialized pegs/stakes and ropes for use in extreme or varied soil conditions. For optional sand pegs/stakes, Oztent recommends the use of an Oztent Edition Bluescrew. Tightly tensioning your tent with our attached ropes greatly increases the tent’s strength and stability. This will also reduce fabric droop and wrinkles, and prevent rainwater from pooling. To pull out a peg never use the edge of the tent as a handle. If hard to remove, the use of another peg as a hook is recommended.
Zippers
Be careful with your zippers. Go slow when zipping. Make sure to align the tracks before sliding the zipper – and don’t exert excessive force. If the fabric gets caught in the slider, stop and slowly reverse the slider to remove it. A silicone-based lubricant may be used to enhance zipping. When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, it can cause abrasion and damage to the zipper sliders. You can clean the zipper teeth by rinsing them out with water. The pressure from a regular garden hose will push out small sand particles.
Cleaning
If your tent should require cleaning, set it up and use a sponge with warm water. If further cleaning is needed, a garden hose should be able to wash off any remaining dirt. Do not use detergent, soap, or bleach, as they may remove the waterproofing and/or damage the fabric. Allow the tent to air-dry completely before packing or storing.
Condensation is an unavoidable fact of physics. When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric, it forms condensation. In most conditions, condensation can be controlled by allowing air inside the tent to vent outside. During periods of high humidity, such as rain, it can be too difficult to remove or reduce condensation. In these conditions, a high degree of ventilation can actually increase the condensation by drawing in the more humid air.
To reduce condensation, use Oztent Fly. Your Oztent Fly is designed to collect humid air that passes through your tent. It is normal to find the underside of the fly covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the floor inside the tent. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking fabric.
