ATEAR

5, FAULTY ZIPPER

THIS IS CAUSED BY LOWER TEMPERATURES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TENT COMBINED WITH

BODY HEAT ON THE INSIDE OFTHETENT.WHENTHIS OCCURS, AVOID TOUCHING WALLS TO REDUCE

CONTACT LEAKAGE. LEAVING THE DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN WILL REDUCE MOISTURE CONDENSATION.

,,m,

APPLY A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF SEARS SEAM SEALER ON SEAMS. SEARS SEAM SEALER MAY

BE PURCHASED AT ANY SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO, RETAIL STORE.

..

TO AVOID MILOEW NEVER PUT YOUR TENT AWAY WET OR DAMP, HOWEVER, IF MILDEW OCCURS USE A SOFT BRISTLE BRUSH OR SPONGE WITH MILD DISHWASHING SOAP OR FELS NAPTHA SOAP TO CLEAN. LET THE TENT DRY IN THE SUNLIGHT AND APPLY WATER REPELLENT COMPOUND.

FOR SMALL TEARS USE A SELF-ADHESIVEPATCH KIT. WE RECOMMEND A CANVAS OR AWNING

REPAIR SHOP FOR LARGER TItAnS.

ALL OUR TENTS COME WITH SELF-REPAIRING ZIPPERS. IF THE ZIPPER SEPARATES, YOU CAN MOVE THE SLIDER TO THE BEGINNING OF THE ZIPPER TAPE AND REWORK THE ZIPPER. IF THIS

DOESN'TWORK, A REPLACEMENT CAN BE ORDERED FROM OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT ANDTHEN BE INSTALLED BY A LOCAL CANVAS OR AWNING REPAIR SHOP IN YOUR AREA.

STAKES

IIIII

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRI_CT SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. IF LEFT IN SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME, FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN.

=,,, ..ram

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.

STAKES SHOULD-BE" PULLED WITH ANOTHER STAKE, HAMMER OR A 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,
