Outwell Greenwood 6 Tent

Pitching Instructions

Pitch Time: Approximately 10-20 minutes.

Important Note: This tent should be erected by at least two persons.

The document provides step-by-step visual instructions for pitching the tent. These involve unfolding the tent, inserting poles into sleeves, securing the tent with pegs, and tensioning guylines. Specific steps are indicated by letters (A, B, C, etc.) and numbers.

Key steps include:

• Unpacking and identifying tent components.
• Spreading the tent out with the door in the desired direction, positioning the rear into the wind for stability.
• Inserting poles into the designated sleeves and securing them.
• Pegging the tent firmly into the ground.
• Tensioning guylines for stability.

The visual diagrams illustrate the process of inserting poles (labeled AA2, B, etc.) into the tent fabric and securing them with pins.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Congratulations on your new Outwell® tent, designed for outdoor adventures.

General Care:

• UV Rays: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can damage the tent fabric (Outtex®).
• Usage: Outwell tents are designed for camping use (2-5 weeks per year) and not for permanent use.
• Environment: Camping near water bodies can intensify UV effects. This also applies to poles and metal parts.
• Storage: Always store the tent dry to prevent mildew or rotting. Lightly grease metal poles with non-acidic oil after use.
• Cleaning: Remove dirt with a soft sponge and clean water. Never wash the tent in a washing machine or dry-clean it.

Setup and Positioning:

• Site Selection: Choose an even, clean area free from rocks, branches, or sharp objects. Avoid pitching directly under trees.
• Wind Direction: Position the tent with the rear facing the wind for better stability in windy conditions.
• Trial Run: It is recommended to practice pitching and taking down the tent before first use.
• Tensioning: Do not secure the tent too tightly, as it needs to adapt to changing weather and wind conditions.

Condensation and Waterproofing:

• Condensation: Can occur due to weather conditions. Prevent by removing wet clothes, increasing ventilation, or using an Outwell® Footprint. Condensation is not leakage.
• Flysheet: Made of waterproof material. Avoid touching the inside of the flysheet in rainy weather to maintain waterproofing.
• Seams: Use seam sealer or waterproof spray periodically on seams around zippers and toggles, as these are high-stress areas.
• Repair: Loose seam tape can be re-sealed with seam sealer and waterproof spray. Minor leaks from single threads or tape folds can also be sealed.
• Waterguard: Regularly apply Outwell Waterguard to the flysheet material to extend its lifespan.

Pegs and Guylines:

• Storm Pegs: Use storm pegs for strong winds.
• Peg Removal: Do not use guylines to pull out tent pegs.
• Ground Type: Use stronger U-shaped pegs for stony or hard ground.
• Mud Valance: Do not use the mud valance to adjust the tent or pull out pegs; it is designed only to keep wind and water out.

Specific Features:

• Quick & Quiet* Closure Magnets: Flexible and can be bent back into shape. Lay them flat when packing to prevent damage. (*Patented)

Taking Down the Tent:

• Remove and clean the groundsheet (if detachable).
• Clean the inner tent if wet or dirty. The tent can be packed with or without the inner tent.
• Remove pegs and guylines.
• Gently remove poles from pins and slide them through sleeves (do not pull).
• Fold the tent, keeping metal pins/rings on one side to prevent damage to the flysheet.
• Measure against the carry bag to ensure correct folding width.
• Roll the tent around the poles and place it in the Outwell carry bag.

Outwell Wind Stabilizer System (OWS System):

Testing and ratings for the OWS System are based on Outwell's knowledge and available techniques at the time of testing. Ratings are obtained by testing similar tents. These ratings are not a guarantee, as factors like ground conditions, peg type, weather, and wear can affect performance.
