PiTCHiNG PoSiTioN:
• Pitch your tent in a place protected against wind
and not in depressions in which water can build up.
• Set up the tent in a suitable wind direction – Entran-
ce in the wind shadow.
• Bear in mind that if you pitch close to water, more
dampness from condensation may build up in your
tent.
• Do not pitch your tent in dangerous places: for ex-
ample, in ravines, below rocks, near rivers which
feed from glaciers, next to fire areas or in the
woods.
• Remove pointed or sharp-edged objects which
could damage the tent floor.
• To protect the tent floor, a groundsheet is recom-
mended.
• Whenever possible, pitch your tent in the shade -
avoid the full sun.
• When camping in the snow and in very cold tempe-
ratures, dig a „cold trench" the apse in which the
cold air will collect.
• Remove any snow loads from the tent in good time.

ENGLISH
• To avoid the risk of fire and asphyxiation, do not
cook inside the tent. If it is unavoidable, make sure
you have sufficient air supply and locate the coo-
ker as far away from the tent walls as possible. To
achieve this, you may detach the inner tent and fold
it out of the way.
ASSEmBLY – GENERAL iNFoRmATioN:
VAUDE tents are easy to assemble. If one of the steps
is not going smoothly, do not use force but instead find
out what the problem is.
• Spread the tent out on the ground (the inner and
outer tents are connected when shipped). If it is
windy, we recommend securing the tent on a ruck-
sack, rock, etc.
• Spread the poles out and put them together - do
not throw. Make sure that the segment connec-
tions are seamless, otherwise they could break
when bent. Push them into the channels rather
than pulling them.
• Put up the tent in a manner that avoids putting ex-
ENGLISH
cessive tensile load on the entrance zip - this ensu-
res the specified service life. Use the strain release
closures at the bottom of the entry.
• Insert the tent pegs at a 60° angle (X).
• In the event of strong winds or a storm, it is neces-
sary to additionally secure the tent with the at-
tached storm cords. To adjust the length of the
storm cord, push the Stormcord Collector up or
down. If the storm cord is not required, wrap the
cord around the Stormcord Collector and secure
the end on the hook provided for this purpose (V).
• The VAUDE Y-tent pegs that come with the tent are
very rigid and ideally suited for harder ground and
grass. For extremely hard ground, we recommend
tent pins. For very soft ground, snow or sand, VAU-
DE offers a special tent peg. When inserted verti-
cally, it is suitable for soft ground and when inser-
ted horizontally, for sand and fresh snow (Y).
SETTiNG UP – "moDEL­SPECiFiC":
Please follow these instructions step by step, the or-
der is important.
1. Clear the ground of any sharp objects (The use of a
groundsheet may be appropriate).
2. Spread out the tent on the ground. Please note: the
inner and outer tent are delivered attached to each
other.
3. Lay out the poles and assemble them.
4. Insert the two long poles at the four outer tent cor-
ners into the mesh sleeves (A). The circular alumini-
um connectors (B) have to align with the entrance
side of the outer tent, since this is where the small
transverse pole above the entrance is inserted la-
ter. Do not insert it for the time being.
5. Use the hook to clip the outer tent to the poles st-
arting from the bottom and go all around the tent.
The red clamps of the hooks should be left open (C)
until they have all been clipped.
6. Now guide the short transverse pole through the
sleeve above the tent entrance (D) and then attach
it to the connectors (E).
