Outwell Cloud Pole Tent User Manual

1. Introduction

Welcome to the user manual for your Outwell Cloud Pole Tent, Model 111046. This tent is designed to provide a comfortable and reliable shelter for up to five campers, featuring a stable dome style with an extended porch. Its design prioritizes fast and easy pitching, ensuring durability and protection for families and groups in various outdoor conditions.

Key features include a living area with a detachable bathtub groundsheet, a rear entrance for convenient access, the Outwell Wind Guard System for enhanced stability, a dark inner tent for improved sleep comfort, and reinforcement patches at all stress points for increased longevity.

2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when using your tent. Adhere to the following guidelines:

• Fire Safety: Keep all flame and heat sources away from tent fabric. The tent material is not fireproof.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially when cooking or using heating appliances inside or near the tent. Carbon monoxide can be deadly.
• Weather Conditions: Do not pitch the tent under trees that may drop branches. In strong winds, ensure all guy lines are securely pegged and tensioned. In heavy rain, ensure proper drainage around the tent.
• Site Selection: Choose a level site free of sharp objects. Avoid pitching in depressions where water might collect.
• Children: Supervise children around the tent to prevent accidents.
• Lightning: Seek appropriate shelter during lightning storms; a tent offers no protection from lightning.

3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for a quick and easy setup of your Outwell Cloud Pole Tent:

1. Unpack and Lay Out: Remove the tent from its pack sack and lay it flat on your chosen pitching site. Identify the main tent body, poles, and pegs.

3. Insert Poles: Slide the assembled poles through the corresponding sleeves on the tent flysheet. Ensure they are fully inserted and seated at the ends.
4. Raise the Tent: Lift the tent structure by pushing up the poles. Secure the pole ends into the eyelets or pins at the base of the tent.
5. Peg Down Corners: Secure the four main corners of the tent to the ground using pegs. This will give the tent its initial shape and stability.
6. Attach Inner Tent: If the inner tent is not pre-attached, clip it into the designated attachment points inside the main tent. Ensure the detachable bathtub groundsheet for the living area is properly positioned.

8. Final Adjustments: Check all zips and doors for smooth operation. Ensure the tent is evenly tensioned and free of wrinkles.

4.2 Dark Inner Tent

The inner tent is designed with a dark material to reduce light penetration, promoting better sleep comfort, especially during long summer days.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your tent:

• Cleaning: Clean the tent with a soft brush or sponge and lukewarm water. Do not use detergents or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric's waterproof coating. Hand wash only.
• Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew and odors. If you must pack it wet, unpack and dry it as soon as possible.
• Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Waterproofing: Over time, the waterproof coating may degrade. Re-proof the tent fabric periodically with a suitable tent-specific waterproofing spray or treatment.
