7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tent feels unstable or sways in light wind. | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections. | Ensure all ropes are taut and stakes are firmly in the ground. Double-check all frame connections for tightness. Remember: Not for use in strong winds. |
| Water leakage. | Improper roof cover installation; fabric damage. | Verify the roof cover is correctly positioned and taut. Inspect fabric for tears or holes and repair if necessary. The tent is water-resistant, not fully waterproof in heavy rain. |
| Zipper difficulty. | Zipper track obstructed; fabric caught. | Clear any obstructions from the zipper path. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if needed. |
| Poles do not fit together. | Incorrect pole orientation; debris in connector. | Ensure poles are aligned correctly. Check connectors for debris and clear if found. Do not force connections. |
