Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for a proper and secure setup of your Land Breeze Living Shell Shield Tarp /R. It is recommended to practice setup in a familiar environment before your first trip.

1. Choose a Site: Select a flat, clear area free of sharp objects. Consider wind direction and potential water runoff.
2. Unpack and Lay Out: Remove the main unit and frames from the carry bag. Lay the main unit flat on the ground, spreading it out evenly.
3. Assemble Frames: Connect the sections of the A-frame and C-frames. Ensure all sections are fully seated.
4. Insert Frames: Locate the sleeves or attachment points on the main unit for the A-frame and C-frames. Carefully slide the poles through the sleeves or attach them according to the design.
5. Raise the Shelter: With assistance, lift the shelter and secure the frame ends into the designated grommets or pins.
6. Initial Pegging: Lightly peg down the four main corners of the shelter to hold its shape.
7. Attach Guy Ropes: Connect the guy ropes to the designated loops on the shelter. Extend them outwards at an angle and secure them with pegs. Adjust tension to make the shelter taut.
8. Install Upright Poles (Optional): If using the extended canopy feature, insert the two upright poles into the grommets at the front of the shelter and secure them with additional guy ropes and pegs.
9. Final Adjustments: Walk around the shelter, checking all pegs and guy ropes. Adjust tension as needed to ensure stability and proper shape. The fabric should be taut but not overstretched.

Operating Instructions

The Land Breeze Living Shell Shield Tarp /R is designed for comfort and versatility.

• Ventilation: Utilize the multiple zippered openings and mesh panels to control airflow and prevent condensation. Adjust as needed based on weather conditions.
• Entry/Exit: The main entrance can be fully opened for easy access. Ensure zippers are closed when not in use to protect against elements and insects.
• Connecting to a Tent: This shelter can be connected to compatible Snow Peak tents to create an integrated living and sleeping area. Refer to your tent's manual for specific connection instructions.
• Weather Protection: In strong winds or heavy rain, ensure all guy ropes are properly tensioned and pegs are securely driven into the ground. Close all openings to maximize protection.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Snow Peak shelter.

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric with a soft brush or sponge and mild soap (non-detergent) and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Always ensure the shelter is completely dry before packing it away. Packing a damp shelter can lead to mildew and fabric degradation. Hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
• Storage: Store the clean, dry shelter in its original carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Seam Sealing: Periodically inspect seams for wear. Apply the included seam sealing agent or a compatible product to maintain waterproof integrity, especially after prolonged use or exposure to harsh weather.
• Pole Care: Inspect poles for bends or cracks before and after each use. Clean any dirt from pole sections and ensure shock cords are in good condition.
