TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

	PROBLEM	SOLUTION
1.	CONDENSATION	THIS IS CAUSED BY LOWER TEMPERATURES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TENT
		COMBINED WITH BODY HEAT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS,
		AVOID TOUCHING WALLS TO REDUCE CONTACT LEAKAGE. LEAVING THE DOORS
		AND WINDOWS OPEN WILL REDUCE CONDENSATION OF MOISTURE .
2.	SEAM LEAKAGE	TO PROTECT AGAINST SEAM LEAKAGE, APPLY A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF SEAM SEALER
		ON ALL INTERIOR SEAMS.
3.	MILDEW	TO AVOID MILDEW, NEVER PUT YOUR TENT AWAY WET OR DAMP. HOWEVER, IF
		MILDEW OCCURS, USE A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH OR SPONGE WITH MILD DISH
		WASHING SOAP OR FELS NAPTHA SOAP TO CLEAN. LET THE TENT DRY IN THE
		SUNLIGHT AND APPLY SEAM SEALER COMPOUND ON INSIDE SEAMS.
4.	REPAIRING A TEAR	FOR SMALL TEARS USE A SELF-ADHESIVE PATCH KIT. WE RECOMMEND A CANVAS
		OR AWNING REPAIR SHOP FOR LARGER TEARS.
5.	FAULTY ZIPPER	ALL OF OUR TENTS ARE MANUFACTURED WITH ZIPPERS WHICH, IF THE ZIPPER
		SEPARATES, CAN BE FIXED BY MOVING THE SLIDER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE ZIPPER
		TAPE AND REWORKING THE ZIPPER. IF THIS DOESN’T WORK, A REPLACEMENT ZIPPER
		MAY BE ORDERED FROM OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT, AND MAY BE INSTALLED BY A LOCAL
		CANVAS OR AWNING REPAIR SHOP IN YOUR AREA.
6.	FLOOR CONDENSATION	A GROUND CLOTH UNDER THE TENT PREVENTS THE FLOOR FROM FEELING DAMP
		AND HELPS PROLONG ITS LIFE. THE CLOTH SHOULD BE SMALLER THAN THE TENT
		FLOOR TO PREVENT RAIN FROM RUNNING UNDER THE TENT.
7.	REMOVING STAKES	STAKE SHOULD BE PULLED WITH ANOTHER STAKE, HAMMER OR STAKE PULLER,
		BUT NEVER BY PULLING ON THE TENT. AVOID STAKING TENT SO TIGHT THAT IT
		STRETCHES THE FABRIC. OVERSTRETCHING MAY CAUSE STAKE LOOPS TO TEAR.
