1. Pull out the tent pegs.
2. Unhook the ropes.
3. Remove first the ridge pole and then the other
poles.
4. Fold up the poles and roll them up with the tent, if
possible. Do not force the poles into the storage
bag if it is full as this may cause damage to the sto-
rage bag and tent.
STOraGE/CarE/rEPairS:
• As soon as the tent is dry and clean it can be stored
in its pack sack in a well-ventilated, cool and dry
place. Please do not store the tent near paints, ad-
hesives, oils, plastics, or fuels (gas canisters, etc.)!
The gasses emitted from these materials contain
plasticizers that can damage your tent over time.
• Zips are always a weak point in a tent's structure.
If they get dirty, clean them with a (tooth) brush and
lubricate them with graphite (pencil lead), silicon
or sewing machine oil. Apply carefully and remove
excess oil with a soft cloth.
• Never store your tent when it's wet for a longer
period of time. Unpack it as soon as you arrive
and dry it out in a well-ventilated place. To do so,
separate the inner and outer tents or use the poles
to create space between the two.
• Do not whip out tent poles and snap the sections
together. This can damage the pole ends as well
as the anodization. Check the poles regularly for
cracks or other potential damage. Wash the poles
and use silicon spray at any sign of corrosion (from
salt water, for example)
• VAUDE only uses poles from the renowned manu-
facturers DAC and Yunan. These tend to become
slightly bent with use, helping to reduce fracturing.
Please do not attempt to bend these back into sha-
pe. Although aluminum is extremely flexible this
might damage or even break the poles. Every VAU-
DE tent comes with a Pole Doctor or repair sleeve.
If a tent pole breaks while out on a trip, simply slide
the repair sleeve over the broken section and then
use tape to attach it (Z).
• The tent should only be cleaned by hand, never in a
