DiSmanTling – “moDEl-SpECifiC”:<br />
1. Remove the pegs from the base points and the hooks from the poles, thus<br />
let the tent fold in on itself. Then unfasten the poles from the clamping<br />
hooks.<br />
2. Fold up the poles and roll them up with the tent, if possible. Do not force<br />
the poles into the storage bag if it is full.<br />
SToragE/CarE/rEpairS:<br />
• As soon as the tent is dry and clean it can be stored in its pack sack in<br />
a well-ventilated, cool and dry place. Please do not store the tent near<br />
paints, adhesives, oils, plastics, or fuels (gas canisters, etc.)! The gasses<br />
emitted from these materials contain plasticizers that can damage your<br />
tent over time.<br />
• Zips are always a weak point in a tent’s structure. If they get dirty, clean<br />
them with a (tooth) brush and lubricate them with graphite (pencil lead),<br />
silicon or sewing machine oil. Apply carefully and remove excess oil with a<br />
soft cloth.<br />
• Never store your tent when it’s wet for a longer period of time. Unpack<br />
it as soon as you arrive and dry it out in a well-ventilated place. To do so,<br />
separate the inner and outer tents or use the poles to create space between<br />
the two.<br />
• Do not whip out tent poles and snap the sections together. This can<br />
damage the pole ends as well as the anodization. Check the poles<br />
regularly for cracks or other potential damage. Wash the poles and use<br />
silicon spray at any sign of corrosion (from salt water, for example)<br />
• VAUDE only uses poles from the renowned manufacturers DAC and<br />
Yunan. These tend to become slightly bent with use, helping to reduce<br />
fracturing. Please do not attempt to bend these back into shape.<br />
Although aluminum is extremely flexible this might damage or even<br />
break the poles. Every VAUDE tent comes with a Pole Doctor or repair<br />
sleeve. If a tent pole breaks while out on a trip, simply slide the repair<br />
sleeve over the broken section and then use tape to attach it (z).<br />
• The tent should only be cleaned by hand, never in a washing machine! Use<br />
a soft cloth and luke warm water. Detergents or cleaning agents may harm<br />
the tent’s coating and waterproofing.<br />
