ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

CURLEW 6

Please read the General Information before starting and famil-

iarise yourself with each of the component parts. Please refer to

the diagrams as you proceed.

Your tent comprises the following parts: (As you unpack

the component parts make a mental note of how the tent was

packed in the carry bag as this will help you when you come to

repack it.)

TAKE EXTRA CARE AND PRECAUTIONS ON WINDY

DAYS SO THAT THE TENT DOES NOT BECOME DAM-

AGED.

COMPONENT PARTS

1. The ysheet, which is the PU coated shell of the tent that has

an integral sewn in groundsheet; other features include the pole

sleeves, attached guy ropes, windows etc.

2. One large inner tent or sleeping compartment, plus a fur-

ther smaller inner tent, both have an integral groundsheet &

“D” shaped door with secondary mesh insect proof ventilation

panel. The uppermost hanging hooks have been colour coded to

correspond with the correct eyelet on the ysheet.

3. A pole carry bag that contains 5 breglass poles that are

strung in sections on elasticated shock cord; the mid section of

each pole is colour coded to match with coloured taping on its

correct pole sleeve.

4. A peg bag that contains sufcient pegs to erect the tent.

5. An emergency Repair Kit that contains fabric cuttings, seam

sealant, spare pegs & guy rope, peg point elastic and an emer-

gency pole repair sleeve.

AS THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS REQUIRES THE POLES

AND OTHER COMPONENT PARTS TO BE PUT UNDER

TENSION, CARE MUST BE TAKEN AT ALL TIMES TO

PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR HARM TO OTHERS.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Having selected your site, unfold the ysheet ensuring the

doors are zipped closed and orientate it so that where possible

they face away from the prevailing wind.

2. Unfold the breglass pole sections and gently slot them to-

gether to form 5 complete poles.

3. Taking the assembled poles in turn, gently PUSH them

through the pole sleeves in the

ysheet with the same colour

taping as the mid section of the

pole.

Where possible avoid stand-

ing on the ysheet, as this will

damage it (see gure 1). Do not

continue until all the poles have

been pushed through the sleeves in the ysheet.

Always push the poles, never pull them otherwise the sections

will come apart and the elastic shock cord will break.

4. Starting with the shorter

crossing poles, insert one end

into the eyelet in the webbing

tab at the base of and nearest

to the ysheet (the other is for

the peg) and repeat with the

other end, by grasping the web-

bing tab rmly and pushing the

pole through the sleeve (see gure 2). To achieve this, the pole

sleeves must be eased over the poles, especially over the metal

joints or ferrules. This initial process will be greatly eased if

the ysheet is lifted and supported from inside. Repeat with the

remaining poles.

5. Between the ends of the

pole sleeves and the eyelets

in the webbing there are

pole clips that should now

be attached to the poles (see

gure 6). Where the long

poles cross at either end

there is a Velcro fastening

tie, fasten these around the

two poles.

6. Before starting to put in the pegs, check that the tent’s posi-

tion is acceptable, adjusting if necessary. Initially only a few

pegs should be put in, enough to give the tent it’s rough shape

and none under any great

tension. This will signi-

cantly ease the installation

of the inner sleeping com-

partment.

7. Gather up the two inner

tents, ensuring that its door

is closed, and take them in-

side the ysheet. Start at the

rear edge of the inner and clip

the hooks that are on the cor-

ners of the groundsheet to the

“D” rings located on the edge

of the ysheet (see gure 5).

8. Then, working systemati-

cally, starting with the upper-

most colour coded hook that

will correspond with the correct eyelet, attach the inner to the

eyelets located on a fabric tabs sewn to the inside of the ysheet

(see gure 3).

9. Once the inners have been suspended, readjust the tension

on the pegs already in position followed by the remaining pegs.

Remember to angle the pegs away from the tent. This must be

done systematically so that the tent ends up being symmetri-

cally pitched, taking care to balance the tension at each point so

that the tents fabric is stretched evenly.

10. Unravel the guy ropes and

loosely peg out each one en-

suring that they are all pegged

directly in line with the seam

or pole to which they will ap-

ply tension and support. Once

this is achieved tighten the ad-

justers so that equal tension is

applied to each guy point (see

gure 4).

11. The doors may be rolled back and secured using the con-

veniently located ties.

12. In the event of bad weather, to ensure that rain does not

come into the tent from under the doors, the rise up style ground

sheet in the doorways should be hooked up using the toggles

provided. Otherwise, the groundsheet may be pegged down to

ease access and help prevent tripping.

HOW TO TAKE DOWN YOUR TENT

1. Please note that the pegs should be extracted by either using a

tent peg extractor or more simply by using another peg. Do not

pull them out by using the guy rope or the elastic.

AGAIN TAKING EXTRA CARE AND PRECAUTIONS ON

WINDY DAYS SO THAT THE TENT DOES NOT BECOME

DAMAGED.

2. Unclip and remove the inner sleeping compartments.

3. Unpeg the guy ropes, slide the adjuster up to the ysheet and

neatly tie them up to prevent them becoming tangled. Unpeg the

ysheet and unclip it from the poles.

4. Unpeg the ysheet and remove the pole ends from the eyelets

taking great care, as these will be under tension. Keep them

away from your face and children at a safe distance.

5. Gently PUSH the poles through the sleeves in the ysheet.

6. To pack the poles away, simply pull each of their sections

apart and fold up and store them in their carry bag. Collect the

pegs together, cleaning them as you go, and put them in their

storage bag.

7. Ensuring that the tent is thoroughly dry if it is to be stored

for some time, pack the tent away into its carry bag. The easiest

way to achieve this is to individually fold the inner tent and the

ysheet to the rough width of the carry bag and lay them on

top of each other. Then slowly roll them up around the poles,

ensuring that as much of the trapped air as possible is squeezed

out. The more slowly & tightly this is done the easier it will be

to get it back into the carry bag.

Remember that this tent has a sewn in groundsheet and should

be folded/rolled in such a way so that the air is squeezed out

through an opened door or vent, otherwise it will become

trapped and very difcult to pack away.

8. If the tent is wet or dirty when you temporarily pack it away

remember to fold “wet to wet” and “dry to dry”, as this will help

reduce the soiling of the inner tent etc.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The following tips and information may help make your trip

more enjoyable.

BEFORE USING YOUR TENT.

1. Get to know your tent before your trip by practising pitch-

ing and familiarising yourself with its component parts and

features. This will also double check that it is complete and

undamaged and will not spoil your holiday.

2. Whilst there is a small repair kit included with the tent, it con-

tains only basic items so it may be worth considering taking a

more comprehensive kit; such spares are available through your

local Wynnster stockist. It is also advisable to assemble a spares

and tool kit so that should any accidental breakage occur then

this will enable the repair to be effected without delay. Items

that should be considered are: additional pegs (to cover varying

soil types such as very hard ground or even loose sandy soils);

extra/spare guy ropes (to cover losses or to be used in adverse

weather conditions to strengthen the structure); extra seam

sealer (as whilst every effort has been taken to ensure that they

are adequately taped, leakage may develop during heavy or pro-

longed rainfall); spare pole sections; shock cord elastic etc.

3. A multi tool of some description (or pliers, a pen knife and

a junior hack saw), plus a roll of water proof tape and some

quick drying, multi-purpose glue will get you out of most dif-

culties.

4. A rubber mallet will help you cope with very hard ground

plus a tent peg extractor for the end of your holiday.

5. We suggest that you have some form of insurance cover

against theft, accidental or storm damage.

Should you have any queries then in all instances these must be

directed to the retailer from whom the tent was purchased.

CHOOSING A SITE.

1. Ideally this should be as at as possible for both your comfort

and the stability of the tent.

2. Avoid low lying ground or other such areas that may ood

in heavy rain, the presence of long green grass will help you

spot these places.

3. It should also be clear of any object that may puncture the

ground sheet or give you discomfort in the night.

4. Avoid pitching under trees as they may drip sap or water

(long after the rain has stopped falling) and aim for sites that

are in shadow at the height of the day as you may wish for some

shade during the hotter months. For extended use it is advisable

to seek a shady site, as most tent materials will be weakened

by prolonged exposure to strong sunlight; this is manifested in

a fading of colour and a weakening of the fabric. The amount

of fading in not an indicator of the degree of weakening. The

polyester fabric used in the manufacture of this tent as opposed

to nylon will deteriorate is signicantly more resistant to the

affects of ultraviolet light.

5. Make use of natural windbreaks such as walls and hedges etc,

avoiding exposed and or high level site that may cause prob-

lems in the event of high winds, as a tent of this size offers a

very large prole to the wind.

6. For Fire Safety it is advisable to site your tent at least 6 me-

tres from adjacent tents.

ERECTING YOUR TENT.

1. Whenever possible try to pitch the tail or the lowest part of

the tent into the wind as this will help the wind blow over the

structure more easily, and with the door facing away from the

wind so that rain cannot be blown inside.

2. As the assembly process requires the poles and other com-

ponent parts to be put under tension, care must be taken at all

times.

3. If pitching the tent in windy conditions then extra care and

precautions must be taken to guard against personal injury and

to ensure the tent does not become damaged. Whilst the poles

are being installed the ysheet may need to be pegged down

so that it is not blown away. The most critical point when most

damage occurs is when the poles have been fully installed but

before the pegs have been fully put in; emergency but tempo-

rary guying and pegging may be required at this stage. Try and

enlist the help of fellow campers if you are having difculties.

4. Pitch with all zips closed and drive all pegs in at an angle

(ideally of 45° or less to the horizontal) and in line with the

seams. Do not overstretch the elasticated peg loops but apply

sufcient pressure to tension the fabric; spend a little time to

make sure all are correctly positioned. Do not peg the ground

sheet down too tightly and if possible lay a polythene sheet (or

similar such as Damp Proof Membrane material available from

builders merchants) underneath, as this will extend the life of

the tent’s groundsheet and help keep it clean. Furthermore this

will help alleviate the build up of condensation by blocking the

evaporation of moisture from the ground.

IN USE.

1. Keep the exit(s) clear and free from obstruction to prevent

accidental damage to you and the tent, especially in an emer-

gency.

2. To help keep the doors closed, cross over the peg points at the

base of zips on the ysheet. Avoid treading on the zips and keep

them free from dirt, as this will maintain their smooth opera-

tion. Should the zips become difcult to operate: do not force

them but adjust the pegging/guying of the tent to ease the pres-

sure on them and lubricate with a silicon or similar lubricant to

maintain their smooth operation. Specialist products are avail-

able from your Camping retailer.

3. Even though the tent’s outer fabric has been coated to provide

protection from the weather it will stop moisture vapour that is

inside from escaping. This may result in water droplets appear-

ing on its inner surface as condensation.

Condensation may come from moisture contained in the ground

or expired from the occupants of the tent and held in the air as

humidity, and it is most likely to appear upon the onset of rain,

as this will rapidly chill the ysheet fabric. This may also hap-

pen at night time when the outside air temperature drops. These

droplets may fall from the ysheet and this cannot altogether be

avoided but it can certainly be alleviated.

To help prevent this, increase ventilation as much as possible

by opening vents and zips and promoting a ow of air under

the ysheet. Cooking and lighting are also sources of conden-

sation particularly if using fossil fuels such as gas, petrol or

parafn; therefore it is obviously best to cook outside when the

weather allows or in an alternative structure (and also from a

safety point of view). Condensation should not be confused

with leakage.

4. Periodically check each peg point and re adjust as necessary,

especially during/after stormy weather. In adverse weather con-

ditions extra precautions will need to be taken; more guy lines

may be needed to strengthen the structure; more or alternative

types or sizes of pegs may be required especially if the ground

is soft or becomes saturated, double pegging some points as

necessary; the communal area groundsheet may need to be un-

clipped in the doorways and folded back to prevent rainwater

running back into the tent.

5. FIRE WARNING: The Fire Retardant fabrics that are used

for the groundsheet, inner, mesh ventilation panels and ysheet

of this tent will signicantly reduce the rate of ame propaga-

tion, but the tent is still ammable.

• Keep naked ames and other heat sources well away from all

the tent’s fabrics.

• Do not rell stoves or change fuel cartridges inside or near

to the tent.

• Never leave heating, lighting or cooking appliances unat-

tended in the vicinity of the tent.

- Think safety rst –

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE.

1. NEVER store the tent unless it is completely dry. Storing

when damp allows the formation of mildew which will damage

the tent. Clean all components and store seperately.

2. Light soiling may be removed either by the gentle use of a

soft brush or a soft, dampened cloth. Never use detergents or

wash in a washing machine, as this will damage the waterproof

coatings.

3. Should the tent show signs of leakage along any of the y-

sheet seams, the inner tent suspension points, lantern loops etc,

seam sealant should be applied. A tube may be found in the

repair kit with replacements readily available from your Out-

door Leisure retailer.

4.Tears and holes from accidental damage or otherwise may be

repaired. Please contact your local Camping retailer from your

nearest specialist repairer.
