Do not cook inside the canopy or use open flames.

Beware of suffocation
Make sure ventilation openings are open all the time to avoid suffocation.

CAUTION!
Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Using the canopy

Before first use

Familiarize yourself with the product by carrying out a test setup before the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is complete.

Choosing a site

Choose a flat site that is protected from wind:

If necessary, use a windbreak
Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation of the fabric
Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage the groundsheet
Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to avoid damaging the groundsheet
Set up the product with the doors facing away from the wind.

Setting up the canopy

NOTICE! Material damage
Do not open or close the zippers by force.

NOTE

The canopy comes with general-purpose pegs. These will be suitable for many sites but for some types of ground special pegs will be needed. Ask your dealer.
Drive the pegs at a 45° angle away from the canopy into the ground.
Peg each guy lines in line with the seam it starts from.

Keep the following tips in mind while setting up the canopy:

The figures provide a general overview of the setup. The actual setup will vary slightly based on the model of the canopy.
Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
Thread the poles through the outer sleeves.
After standing the canopy upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary.
Peg the guy lines so that the canopy is under tension without distorting the shape.
Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to adjust.

Set up the canopy as follows:

To protect the canopy from dirt and damage, lay down a groundsheet or footprint before unpacking.
Unpack the canopy.
Separate and identify the different components.
Proceed as shown to set up the canopy

Cleaning and maintenance
NOTICE! Material damage

Do not use sharp or hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not use alcohol-based materials, chemicals, soap, or detergents for cleaning.
Remove bird droppings and tree resin as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage to the material.

If necessary, clean the product with clean water and a soft brush.
Apply impregnation against water and UV radiation before each trip.

Storing the canopy

NOTE

Fully set up the canopy for cleaning.
Choose a sunny day for cleaning to ensure the material will dry thoroughly.

Clean the canopy.
Air fully and ensure the canopy is totally dry before packing away.
Store in a well-ventilated dry place.

Troubleshooting

NOTE

During first exposure to water there may be some moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing process.
A fully equipped spare parts kit should include:
- Waterproofer
- Repair tape and repair solution
- Silicone spray for the zippers
- Spare pegs

Problem Solution
Water leak Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings, and moist areas.
If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter “Condensation”
If you find any leaks, apply a seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric Use repair tape to seal the fabric.
Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist. The shock cord connecting the poles has broken
Purchase a replacement shock cord.
Replace the shock cord.
Pole has broken Use a metal peg as a splint by taping it to the broken pole.
Purchase a new pole.

Condensation
All canopies suffer from internal condensation if
one or more of the following conditions apply:

high air humidity
high ground moisture
a drop in temperature
Severe condensation can run down the inside of
the roof and drip off ties, tapes, and other internal
fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.
- Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
- Install a waterproof groundsheet.

Disposal

Place the packaging material in the appropriate
recycling waste bins, wherever possible.
Consult a local recycling center or specialist
dealer for details about how to dispose of the
product in accordance with the applicable disposal regulations.
