Select a suitable area to place your bivvy and spread the groundsheet, a small Trakker
label indicates the position of the doorway.
Place the A-Lite in the centre of the ground sheet, Kneel down and splay the arms of the
A-Lite, plugging together the frame sections as you go. Ensure the spigots are fully
inserted as any that are loose could cause damage when erecting your bivvy.
The assembled frame should be wider than the ground sheet. Attach the two rings on
the inside edges of the frame to the supplied tension strap as this tensions the frame
and takes up the play in the spigots.
Peg the rings out at the rear of the A-Lite using the ground sheet as a guide. Please
note that the ground sheet is slightly oversized to allow for uneven ground, so do not
stretch it out too tight. The ground sheet is only a rough guide and adjustments can be
made in any direction. Pull the A-Lite forward and peg down using the rings at either
side of the door. Peg the rest of the pegging points out in a logical order and ensure the
draft skirt is tucked under the ground sheet.
The frame support system clips onto the poles in the centre of the bivvy and pushes the
frame forward; this supports the A-Lite frame without the need to secure the front with
pegs. However, this will compromise its stability and should only be done when the
weather conditions allow.
To dis-assemble the A-Lite, un-peg and collapse the frame, then Release the tension by
disconnecting the tension strap. Starting from the centre, unplug the frame sections and
twist them approximately 90 o to prevent them plugging back together. You may need to
shake the poles slightly as you unplug them from the frame sections as this will help to
release the spigot. Fold the arms into the middle as you go, making sure there is no
material wrapped around the ends of the frame sections as this could damage your
material, especially if done over a prolonged period of time.
Your A-Lite must be dried out as soon as possible after use to prevent mildew from
forming. We recommend that you reproof the material once a year with Fabsil Gold
(available from the Trakker website: www.trakkerproducts.co.uk).
Look after you’re A-Lite and it will give you years of service.
