6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the tent with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and water-repellent coating. Allow the tent to air dry completely before folding and storing.
• Storage: To fold the tent, carefully follow the reverse of the setup process. Twist the frame into a compact circular shape and place it back into the carrying bag. Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Folding: If you experience difficulty folding the tent, ensure you are applying even pressure and twisting the frame correctly. It may require a few attempts to master the technique. Refer to online video tutorials for visual guidance if needed.
• Instability: If the tent feels unstable, re-check that all ground pegs are firmly inserted and that the tent frame is fully extended. In very windy conditions, consider adding extra weights or guy lines (not included) for additional stability.
• Water Leakage: While the tent is water-repellent, heavy or prolonged rain may lead to some moisture penetration. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. For enhanced protection in extreme weather, consider using an external waterproof cover (not included).
