Diagram A illustrates the initial pitching of the Vesta Air 850XL tent. It shows the main inflatable air tubes being connected and the tent structure taking shape. Several components are numbered for reference, including poles and attachment points. The diagram indicates that part 4 is used once (x1), part 3 is used five times (x5), and part 2 is used twice (x2).

Steps i, ii, and iii detail the use of the AirSpeed pump for inflation. Step i shows connecting the pump hose to the tent's air valve. Step ii depicts the pumping action. Step iii shows the pressure gauge indicating the recommended inflation pressure of 7 PSI.

Pitching - Part B

Diagram B shows the attachment of the "Over Door Canopy". This involves inserting poles into designated sleeves and securing the canopy to the main tent structure using clips and straps, referencing part 5.

Pitching - Part C

Diagram C presents a side view of the fully pitched Vesta Air 850XL tent, showcasing its erected form.

Diagram D illustrates the process of guying out the tent. It shows the tent being secured to the ground using guy ropes and pegs, with multiple pegs (x10) and guy ropes indicated. The TBS®II (Tension Band System) is also highlighted.

Steps i, ii, and iii explain the setup of the TBS®II system. Step i shows attaching the tension band. Step ii demonstrates tightening the band to provide structural support. Step iii shows the tension band correctly fitted to the tent.

Taking Down & Packing

General Instruction: This tent should be taken down by at least 2 people.

Diagram A shows the tent in a deflated state, with air being released. Components are numbered for reference, including part 6 used twice (x2) and part 4 used once (x1).

Diagram B illustrates the process of folding the tent lengthwise. It shows the air tubes being deflated and the tent fabric being folded neatly, referencing parts 2 and 10.

Diagram C depicts the tent being rolled up tightly, starting from the end opposite the main entrance. This is done to reduce the volume for packing, referencing part 7.

Diagrams D and E show the final packing stages. The rolled tent is placed into its carry bag. The AirSpeed pump is also shown being packed alongside the tent. Step i shows connecting the AirSpeed pump to the valve for deflation. Step ii shows the deflation action. Step iii shows the tent and pump placed inside the carry bag, referencing parts 5 (x2) and 6 (x4).
