EN Operating Manual Thank you for purchasing your Dometic AirFrame tent. Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to set up your tent and retain for future reference. We recommend that your tent is insured against accidental and storm damage as this is not covered by the warranty. Important - please read: Under certain conditions, all awnings and tents will suffer from internal condensation.
Before using for the first time please check the contents of your tent Tent Inner tent Canopy groundsheet Hand Pump Peg Bag Footprint Carpet Carry Bag The inner tent may already be attached to the tent and can be left attached for take down and setup. If you are missing any parts please contact your supplying dealer. Weathering your Awning or Tent before your first use: Your tent or awning is manufactured with a material that requires preparation before use to maximise its weatherproofing.
I mportant: It is important that whilst unscrewing/replacing the inflation/deflation valve that the valve does not spin in the AirPole. You can prevent this from happening by holding the valve in place where it meets the AirPole. If the valve spins it will twist the inflation tube in the pole and may lead to premature failure. If you suspect this has happened do not inflate your tent before untwisting the tube. Unscrew the valve from the AirPole and check that the inflation tube is not twisted.
5 Once all the AirPoles have sprung outwards assuming their correct shape, detach the pump from the tent and tighten the outer valve cap on each inflation point. It is important that these are tight to prevent the seepage of air. Inflate the lateral AirPole, to between 6-8psi, and place between the AirPoles inside the tent (5). Close all doors and entrances and check the positioning of the corner pegs again. If necessary, repeg to ensure that the tent is taught.
Guy Lines Your tent comes with guy lines pre-attached. We recommend that these are used at all times. Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting the shape (11). The guy lines can be adjusted using the runners and should generally be pegged diagonally from the pole. Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure that they are still adequately tensioned. 11 12 Connecting to Your Vehicle This is a guide to fitting to your vehicle.
15 15 Use the straps on the side of the tunnel to attach to the vehicle bodywork -normally the wheel arch or under the rear bumper. (15) Go inside the tent. There is an inner val-ance with a strap (16). The strap is de-signed to go over the rear hatch. Position the strap, raise the vehicle hatch and tight-en the strap.. 16 16 Valance Strap Locate the three straps on the lower val-ance. These are designed to attach to any available fixing inside the vehicle.
Pegs The tent comes complete with general purpose pegs. These will be suitable for many sites but there will be some instances where different pegs will be necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of Dometic pegs suitable for different types of ground. For maximum effectiveness, pegs should be driven into the ground at a 45˚°angle away from the pegging point. Rain We make our tents as resistant to the weather as possible. Occasionally you may find slight leakage.
3. Un-peg the intermediate pegging points but keep the four corners in place. Remove the fibreglass canopy poles. 4. Open the valves on each pole. The tent will start to deflate. Wait until most of the air has been expelled. 5. Un-peg the four corners. 6. Fold/roll the tent towards the deflation valves to expel more air and then roll to fit in the carry bag. 7. Ensure that the tent is totally dry before storing in a cool, dry, dark space: if possible opened out. Care Tents are best stored opened out.
The repair can be enhanced by using a combination of the tape with Dometic Repair Solution. Follow the manufacturers instructions to repair. Another alternative is to replace the tube. Spares are available from your dealer or direct from Dometic. Once a repair or replacement has been made, the AirPole can simply be zipped back into the sleeve. PROBLEM SOLUTIONS Difficulty in pumping up the tent 1. T he inflation valve is not fully screwed into the AirPole. 2.
