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 dirty 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 ZipCare 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 shock cord should be strong, aggressively pulling the pole
together into the proper position. Shock cords lose some elasticity when cold or
wet. Shock cords also become stretched out over time, and should be adjusted
when they become weak.
pOLE MAInTEnAnCE
Poles should be periodically inspected. While pole segments will take a bit of a
"set," sharper bends or deflection of more than one pole diameter are reason
for concern. Look especially for bends at the ends of ferrules. Segments with
bends should be replaced.
