2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before setting up and using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Fire Safety: Keep all flame and heat sources away from the tent and tarp fabric. The fabric is not fireproof and will burn if exposed to open flame.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent suffocation and carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not use fuel-burning appliances inside the tent.
• Weather Conditions: Do not set up the tent or tarp in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or lightning. Disassemble and store the product if severe weather is anticipated.
• Site Selection: Choose a level, clear area free of sharp objects, rocks, and debris. Avoid setting up under trees with dead branches.
• Anchoring: Always use all provided pegs and guy ropes to securely anchor the tent and tarp. Loose anchoring can lead to collapse in windy conditions.

5. Operation and Use

5.1. Tent Usage

• Sleeping Area: The inner tent provides a spacious sleeping area of approximately 300 x 300 x 185 (h) cm, comfortably accommodating 4 to 5 people.
• Vestibule: The large front vestibule, created by the front pole, offers a sheltered space for gear storage or as a dry entry point during rain.
• Ventilation System: The tent is equipped with a ventilation system at the top. This system draws in cool air from outside the sleeping area and expels warm, humid air, which helps to reduce stuffiness and minimize condensation inside the tent. Ensure vents are open for optimal airflow.

5.2. Tarp Usage

• Living Space: When set up with the tent, the hexa tarp creates a comfortable and shaded living space, ideal for cooking, dining, or relaxing outdoors.
• Versatile Arrangement: The included side poles allow for various configurations, enabling you to adjust the tarp's shape and coverage based on sun direction or weather conditions.
• Independent Use: The tarp can also be used independently as a standalone shelter for day trips or as an additional shade structure.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

• Clean the tent and tarp with a soft brush or sponge and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents.
• Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry completely before packing.
• Clean poles and pegs with a damp cloth and dry them before storage.

6.2. Storage

• Ensure the tent, tarp, and all components are completely dry before packing to prevent mildew and damage.
• Fold the tent and tarp neatly and place them back into the carry bag.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Condensation: If condensation occurs, ensure all ventilation openings are fully open. Proper airflow is crucial to minimize moisture buildup.
• Leaking: Check all seams for proper sealing. If leaks persist, a seam sealer may be applied (sold separately). Ensure the flysheet is properly tensioned and not touching the inner tent.
• Poles Not Fitting: Verify that you are using the correct poles for each section (main tent poles, front tent pole, tarp main poles, tarp side poles). Ensure poles are fully assembled and free of bends or damage.
• Instability: Ensure all pegs are securely driven into the ground and all guy ropes are properly attached and tensioned. Adjust tension as needed for changing wind conditions.
