Resumen del manual
• Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs. • Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself. Staking in special conditions: • Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil. • Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might damage your tent. • Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie tent to buried objects (branches, tent bags, or stuff sacks filled with snow; or tie tents to snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are stuck in the snow. GUY LINES: Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. The Copper Canyons have built-in loops and guy lines at optimal guy out locations. It’s important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during exceptional weather. • Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the tent frame. Hook and loop fasteners are sewn to the underside of the fly for this purpose. • There are guyout points with guylines preattached at primary locations. Stake those guylines 6’ from the edge of the tent. The optimal angle from the ground to the guyline is 45.. See fig a. • In high winds guylines should be attached to the secondary web loops on each corner, and center on the 1312/1512, and halfway down the tan mid-poles on the 1312 and 1512. See fig b. Attach parachute cord and stake per the previous notations. This prevents all movement, except toward the anchor. The guy lines will work together through opposition. See illustrations below: CONDENSATION & VENTING: Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most often, water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than from the tent leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag touches the side of the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces such as the door flaps. A tent’s double wall construction allows the vapor to escape through the roof to the outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry. Leave the windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and further reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in very humid or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less effective. The features that enhance ventilation are windows, short-sheeted flys (bottom venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are specific to each tent model. Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent. Eureka! tent vestibules profit from the ability to “short sheet” by means of zippers & toggles and staked vestibule pull outs create a bellowing effect. Most of our tents are equipped with a High/Low venting door. This design allows increased airflow into the tent from the bottom. Open the low vent/window to admit cool air, allowing the warmer air out through the high roof vents. When rain and wind prevent the low vent from being opened, the high door vent can still be used. Fly overhangs or vestibules protect it. ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT: Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to UV degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged. UV damage can be minimized by erecting tents on shaded sites with low exposure to direct sunlight. GENERAL POLE CARE: • Never let tent poles snap together as this can damage the pole end. • Do not drop tent or pole bags on their ends and do not bounce a tent bag on its end to g...
