mildew. It is available through Black Diamond Mail Order. Be sure your
tent is totally dry before putting it away. This may take 24 hours or more.
DO NOT SPRAY OR WASH YOUR TENT WITH ANY WATER REPELLENTS
OR CLEANING AGENTS 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 dir t y
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 shockcord should be strong, aggressively pulling the pole together
into the proper position. Shockcords lose some elasticity when cold or wet.
Shockcords 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.
