Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, resin, etc. can damage the product.
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 awning tent

Do not use any type of compressor designed to inflate car tires.
Only inflate the air poles into the green zone of the pressure gauge of the supplied hand pump (9 psi/0.62 bar).

NOTICE! Material damage

Do not open or close the zippers by force.
If a wind-out awning is used to attach the awning tent, support the wind-out awning while working to avoid putting too much stress on it. After attaching the awning tent, rewind the wind-out awning fully back into its housing.

NOTE

Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
After standing the awning tent upright, check the corner pegs and repeat if necessary. The base of the awning tent should be taut and in
square shape.
Peg the guy lines so that the awning tent is under tension without distorting the shape.
Attach the storm straps.
Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to adjust.

Unzip the outer sleeve holding the air pole.
If installed, close isolation valves.
