TENT PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS – ECLIPSE 600 (UK)

FLYSHEET FIRST PITCHING:

• Open out inner and position in required direction.

• Peg out the four main corners of the tent using the pegs supplied

• Locate inflating points at the base of each beam

• Access the beams through the zipped entry points and through the side

door

• For the first use of the AirBeam, fully unscrew all the valves from the

AirBeams and screw back in carefully before inflating - this ensures that the

valve is not cross-threaded.

• Remove smaller screw-cap on valve and insert pump nozzle, of the Vango

AirBeam™ pump supplied

• Inflate all tubes to 7psi. The tubes MUST be guided into an arch as they are

inflated.

• Final tube pressure MUST NOT exceed 8psi

• DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE BEAMS

• Start with the centre tube and guide the beam into an upright position

while it is inflating

• Inflate the other beams.

• Remove pump & tighten screw-cap. Ensure both parts of valve are well fitted so it is air tight but do not over tighten.

• Ensure the tent is in a straight line

• The groundsheet should be flat and wrinkle free

• Peg out the remaining poles and pegging points using pin pegs at the base of poles

• Peg out ALL guy lines using pin-pegs ensuring that guy line fabric attachment points are evenly tensioned.

• Reposition and adjust tensioning where necessary

SIDE DOOR COVER:

• Once the tent is pitched, remove the ends of the side door cover AirBeam from the hook & loop on the tent

• Place the pump on the ground and stretch the hose up to the valve

• Inflate the beam to 7psi

• Reattach the AirBeam ends to the corresponding hook & loop on the tent

CORRECT PUMP SET-UP:

• Pump Body > Pressure Valve > Pressure Gauge > Hose

• (Ensure the valve/gauge/hose are connected to the inflation port of the pump)

INNER ATTACHMENT:

• Open out inner tent inside flysheet and position doorways to correspond with the living area

• Starting from the rear corners of the tent, attach the elasticated hooks on the groundsheet to corresponding rings on the flysheet

• Suspend the inner by attaching toggles of inner tent through rings on inside of flysheet

• Do the rear first and work forward

TENSION BAND SYSTEM:

• Remove Tension Band System from pockets and attach into the corresponding clips at the apex of the pole

• Adjust the straps until they are taut

• DO NOT OVERTENSION. Excess tension will alter the shape of the tent

TO DEFLATE THE AIRBEAM TENT:

• Unscrew the valve fully from the beam, taking care as the valve will be under pressure from the air inside the tube.

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A PUNCTURE:

• Note - most apparent punctures are the result of the valve not being screwed in correctly. Please check the valves before changing the AirBeam in

question

• Deflate the air beam. Unzip the internal flysheet sleeve which contains the affected beam.

• Remove the tube and its protective outer.

• The zips for the protective outer are cable tied together to prevent accidental access. Cut the cable tie and open the zip.

• DO NOT open these zips when the tube inflated.

• Remove the clear rubberised tube from the protective sleeve taking care when removing the valve from the sleeve.

• Partially inflate the tube and pass through a bucket or basin of water, looking for air bubbles. This will indicate location of puncture

• Use the repair patch provided and cover hole, using instructions on patch. Re-insert tube into protective outer, closing zip from both ends, so that zip

pullers are in the flysheet sleeve (this might be easier with the tube partially inflated)

How do I impregnate a tent? Verified

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
