5, FAULTY ZIPPER
SOLUTION
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-ADHESIVE PATCH 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.
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.

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,
