IMPORTANT: Tents contain a high proportion of synthetic materi-als and under certain conditions will be affected by condensation inside the tent. This should not be confused with leaking and condensation can be im-proved by ensuring adequate ventilation. The main seams of this tent have been factory taped to help prevent leakage. Depending upon your ex-pectations, it may be necessary to treat the remain-ing seams with a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping is damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have developed. Seam sealant is available through your dealer.
WELCOME Thank you for purchasing your Kampa AirFrame tent. Please read these in-structions carefully before attempting to set up your tent and retain for future reference. If used properly, your tent should give you years of trouble free use. We recommend that your tent is insured against accidental and storm damage as this is not covered by the warranty.
This tent is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During very strong winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your tent down. The tent is designed for touring use; it is not designed for static or commercial use. We recommend a trial run before using your tent for the first time. This will allow you to familiarise yourself with the tent, its set up and any limitations the tent may have for your particular use.

IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE
If you suspect a puncture follow the following:
1. Close all the isolation valves in the tent. Wait for a while and then check each AirPole for pressure. If there is reduced pressure in any AirPole Check the connecting hoses to make sure that the compression fittings are done up tightly. If you still suspect a leak it will be necessary to investigate the individual AirPole.
2. If tightening the hose fittings does not solve the problem then the AirPole may be punctured.
TO REMOVE AN AIRPOLE 3. You can remove an AirPole when the tent is inflated or deflated but if it’s
inflated the isolation valves around the pole must be closed. 4. Unzip the sleeve holding the AirPole. 5. Undo the compression fittings on the punctured pole side of the isolation
valve. There may be one or two per pole. 6. You should now be able to remove the AirPole 7. Unzip the protective cover of the AirPole to expose the inflatable tube. 8. Locate the puncture. This is made easier if you blow some air into the tube.
For small holes it may be necessary to submerge the inflatable tube in wa-ter.
9. Once located the tube can be repaired using repair tape. We recommend the following:
Kampa Tent & Awning Repair Tape McNett Tenacious Tape Tear Aid repair tape Stormsure repair tape
The repair can be enhanced by using a combination of one of the above with one of these flexible adhesives:
Kampa StormGrip McNett Seamgrip Stormsure
10. Follow the manufacturers instructions to repair. 11. Another alternative is to replace the tube. Spares are available from your
dealer or direct from Kampa. 12. Reassemble the AirPole, zip back into the sleeve and reconnect the hose/s
to the isolation valve/s.

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.
Before using for the first time please check the contents of your tent
SITING Choose a site that is flat and, if possible, protected from the wind. Try to clear the site of sharp stones to avoid damaging the groundsheet. A footprint ground-sheet is available as an optional extra – please see your dealer for more infor-mation. Try to set up your tent with the doors facing away from the wind. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches, sap, etc could damage your tent. SET UP To protect your tent from dirt and damage, it may be beneficial to lay a footprint (available as an optional extra) or groundsheet down before unpacking. Unpack the tent and separate and identify the different parts. Assemble the fibreglass porch pole, this is shock corded and just needs slotting together. Ensure that each pole is fully inserted into the adjoining pole.

IMPORTANT It is important that whilst turning this ring that the valve does not spin in the AirPole, you can prevent this from hap-pening by holding the valve in place where it meets the AirPole. In picture (3) the left hand is holding the valve in place. 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. Un-screw the valve from the AirPole and check that the inflation tube is not twisted. Before replacing the valve en-sure that the black sealing washer is in place (4). It is not normally necessary to remove this valve in day to day use.
STEP 1 Unroll and lay the tent out in the required position. Peg each corner of the sewn-in groundsheet (not the tent) and then peg out the porch section, ensuring that you tension the tent between the pegs and making sure that the tent keeps it rectangular shape. You will probably need to re-peg later.
STEP 2 Locate the deflation valves at the bottom of each of the AirPoles (2). Ensure that the valves are closed by turning the lever to a 90° angle (as shown). Locate the inflation valve on the tent. Ensure that the valve is screwed tightly into the AirPole by turning the outer ring (3).

DEFLATION To pack away the tent: 1. Ensure that all the isolation valves are open inside the tent. 2. Close all doors and openings, including those on the inner tent/s. 3. Close all window blinds. 4. Un-peg the guy lines and tie them neatly to avoid future tangling. 5. Un-peg the intermediate pegging points but keep the four corners in place. 6. Open the deflation valves on each pole. The tent will start to deflate. Wait
until most of the air has been expelled. 7. Un-peg the four corners. 8. Fold/roll the tent towards the deflation valves to expel more air and then roll
to fit in the carry bag. 9. 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. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before packing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp tent will develop mildew surprisingly quickly. Dirty tents can be washed using clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and never use detergents. The AirPoles do not need any maintenance but should be protected from dam-age during storage. Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect is not covered under the warranty. Have any damage repaired at the first opportu-nity.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never tread on them. Never force a zip. We strongly recommend that you carry a comprehensive spares kit including silicone waterproof spray, seam sealer and tape for repairing the AirPoles.
Repairs to the tent should be made by a company recommended by Kampa or your supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised com-pany may invalidate your warranty.

Unscrew the top cap, of the inflation valve, and attach the pump nozzle (5). Start to pump (6). The pump has a pressure gauge but it is not possible to over inflate the tent with the pump supplied. An ideal inflation pressure will be be-tween 9 -11 psi but do not worry too much. As the tent inflates the AirPoles will lift the tent. It is normally necessary to go inside the tent and to push the poles upwards so that the AirPoles can assume their correct shape (7). Once all the AirPoles have sprung outwards, assuming their correct shape, give the tent a few more pumps until the poles feel hard to the touch (8). As mentioned before, an ideal pres-sure will be between 9-11 psi but it does not matter if you do not reach this, as long as the AirPoles feel hard. Detach the pump from the tent and tighten the outer valve cap, it’s important that this is one tight to prevent the seepage of air. Check the positioning of the corner pegs again. If necessary re-peg to ensure that the ground-sheet is taut inside the tent. Close all doors and entrances and peg all the intermediate pegging points ensuring that each side is straight. Slide the fibreglass porch pole into the sleeve above the side porch. Locate each end into the “cup” located on the AirPole (9 & 10).

If the inner tent isnot already installed, take the inner tent inside and suspend from the colour coded buckles (11). Attach the remaining suspension points.
Attach the base of the inners to the corresponding buckles on the ground-sheet (12). It will be easier to attach the rear points before fully suspending the inner tent. The inner tent can remain perma-nently installed whilst the tent is de-flated and inflated.

The tent comes with guy lines pre-attached. We recommend that these guy lines are used at all times. Peg the guy lines so that the tent is under tension without distorting the shape (13). The guy lines can be adjusted using the runners. Guy lines should be secured using suitable pegs (see below) and the guy line should gener-ally be pegged in line with the seam of the tent it starts from. Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure that they are still adequately tensioned.
Suspend the roof lining . It is con-nected by ring and toggle.
Install the canopy groundsheet by first attaching the toggles to the ‘O’ rings situated around the inside of the can-opy. The groundsheet is shaped so make sure the narrow end is pointing towards the exterior door. Once all the toggles are attached, peg the groundsheet down.
7
PEGS The tent comes complete with general purpose wire pegs. These will be suit-able for many sites but there will be some instances where different pegs will be necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of 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. This is not a fault with the manufacturing process or materials and can normally be rectified by spot treating the seam with seam sealant (see below). SEAMS The main seams of this tent have been factory taped to help prevent leakage. Depending upon your expectations, it may be necessary to treat the remaining seams with a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping is damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have developed. Seam sealant is available through your dealer. SUITABILITY This tent is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During very strong winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your tent down. The tent is de-signed for occasional use; it is not designed for static or commercial use. UV DEGRADATION Tent fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Under normal holiday use your tent will give long service but use for extended periods in strong sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In those cases it would be wise to use a site as shaded as possible. UV degradation is not covered under the warranty. The warranty does not cover tents used on permanent sites, displays or for com-mercial purposes. CONDENSATION Tents contain a high proportion of synthetic materials and under certain conditions will be effected by condensation inside the tent. This should not be confused with leaking. Condensation can be improved by ensuring adequate ventilation. The tent comes with various ventilation ports that can be opened and it may also help to keep a door open when the weather allows. Condensation and its effects are not covered under the warranty. SAFETY DO NOT COOK IN THE TENT OR USE NAKED FLAMES. READ AND UN-DERSTAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE TENT.
