USE, CARE And MAInTEnAnCE
STAKInG
Always stake out your tent using all points provided. Staking out your tent must
not be considered optional! YES, your tent can easily be dragged by modest winds.
SnOW COndITIOnS
Be extremely careful when shoveling snow from around your tent because the
shovel can easily tear the fabric. NEVER brush snow off your tent with any hard
objects, such as sticks, shovels, ice axes, etc.
ATTAChInG OpTIOnAL GROUnd CLOTh
Optional ground cloths are available for all Black Diamond Doublelight Tents.
At each stake-out point on the ground cloth there is a thick shock-cord loop.
Slip the stake-out webbing on the tent through these shock-cord loops while
pitching the tent. The elastic shock-cord loops will secure the ground cloth to
the tent and keep it centered under the floor.
The ground cloth can also be used to pitch the fly only with the poles. Set the
pole end tips into the corner grommets on the ground cloth. Then spread the fly
over the poles. Use the hook and loop fasteners located under the fly to secure
it in place.
The ground cloth can also be used as a tarp—use the stake points along the
edges to suspend or anchor it.

CARE And CLEAnInG

Tents and bivies must be stored dry. Storing your tent wet or damp will result
in the growth of mildew, which will cause your tent to smell and leak. Mildew
attacks the urethane-coated parts of the tent and the fabric, causing loss
of strength and eventual breakdown. If you suspect mildew, act right away.
Washing with McNett MiraZyme ™ cleaner will usually stop and remove mild
cases of mildew. Advanced mildew will not wash out. Mildew damage is not
covered under warranty. Those living in wet climates should probably wash in
MiraZyme once every two years, whether mildew is showing or not. Do not dry
clean or machine wash your tent. If lightly soiled, the floor and exterior walls
can be sponged clean with warm water. Never use detergents or liquid soaps
of any kind.
To Wash: If it becomes necessary to wash the entire tent, avoid hot water,
bleach, dishwashing liquid, or any type of liquid soap or detergent. Hand wash
in a bathtub using only cool water and MiraZyme, made by McNett Corp. This
wash-in product cleans, eliminates odor and helps to remove mildew. It is
available through Black Diamond Mail Order. Be sure your tent is totally dry
before putting it away. This may take 24 hours or more. DO NOT SPRAY OR
WASH YOUR TENT WITH ANY WATER REPELLENTS OR CLEANING AGENTS
