Zempire Aerospeed 6 Instruction Manual
Camping Equipment
Key Tips
- Setup Tip: Before inflating, peg the corners and ensure the tent floor is flat and taut between peg loops.
- Inflation Tip: Close all doors before inflating and deflating to maintain shape and prevent stress on panels and zips.
- Guy Rope Tension: Guy ropes should be taught but not pull the tent out of shape, as the tent is designed to be free-standing.
- Pump Usage: Always place the protection cap back on the pump shaft to prevent tent fabric damage when rolling.
- Air Pressure: Inflate air tubes to the correct pressure by pumping slowly to read the pressure gauge.
- Door Panel Rolling: Fold outer corners of door panels inwards to prevent edges from hanging loose and water pooling.
- Brow Poles: Gently push brow poles through sleeves to ensure segments do not come apart.
- Ventilation: On warm or humid nights, zip down the top of the 360° door cover for maximum ventilation while maintaining privacy.

Care Instructions
- Ensure guy ropes are out at all times during use.
- Keep vents open for airflow to reduce condensation. Never cook inside the tent.
- Close all doors before inflating/deflating to maintain tent shape.
- Never pack a wet tent. Dry completely as soon as possible to prevent mildew.
- Wash mildew with warm water and a soft brush; avoid soap or detergents.
- Do not use aerosol spray cans or open flames inside the tent. The fabric is fire-retardant, not fire-proof.
- Use a peg puller to remove pegs; clean and dry pegs before storing.
- Do not pitch in severe storm conditions; take the tent down if necessary.
- Avoid leaving the tent pitched for extended periods due to UV damage.
Troubleshooting
Air Leak
- Check Boston Valves are closed, seals are intact and clean, and valves are screwed in correctly.
- Ensure the valve cap cover is tightened.
- Apply Vaseline to O-ring seals if leaking.
- Check for punctures.
Water Leak
- Check seams, seam seal tape, and for holes. Apply repair tape or seam sealer if needed.
Rip in the Fabric
- Use repair tape for temporary fixes; avoid duct tape. Seek professional repair for significant damage.
