away from oils, grease, and solvents, including sunscreens and mosquito
repellent, and you will be rewarded with years of good service. In order to
protect the fabric, remove all dirt and debris from inside the tent before storing.
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™ Corporation.
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
OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY BLACK DIAMOND. Use of any
other agents may void your warranty.
zippers
Zippers require maintenance, especially if camping in sandy or dir t y
environments. Sand and dirt in the zippers is the leading cause of failure. When
dirty, rinse your tent off with a hose, applying water pressure to the zippers to
wash off dirt. Application of a zipper lubricant such as McNett Zip Care™ will
aid in extending the life of your zippers. Even with this, if your zipper becomes
difficult to slide, it is important to repair it right away. Often just the sliders can
be changed out, restoring the zipper to near-new condition for a very small fee.
If you force worn-out sliders along the zipper chain, it will damage the chain,
requiring a much more expensive repair.
poles
Our lightweight, fully shock-corded aluminum poles are incredibly strong, but
they are not indestructible. When used as recommended, they will not break.
The anodized finish helps protect against corrosion, but the poles should still
be carefully dried along with the tent before storage.
When setting up the tent, it is very important that the poles click together
properly. Ferrules that are not fully closed will result in the pole breaking when it
is flexed. The shockcord should be strong, aggressively pulling the pole together
into the proper position. Shockcords loose some elasticity when cold or wet.
Shockcords also become stretched out over time, and should be adjusted when
they become weak. Here's how: The shockcord in the poles is adjustable—this is
one reason we do not put end tips on most of our poles. (For poles with end-tips,
use pliers to grasp the tip, and pull it out of the pole. The end tips are a force-fit.)
