Vango Force Ten Vortex 300 Tent

Flysheet First Pitching

• Assemble the four poles and lay them on the ground.
• Open flysheet on ground and position tent in desired direction.
• Insert the straight poles (silver) through the black pole sleeves running diagonally from corner to corner across the flysheet. Make sure that the pole feeds back into the sleeve at junction points.
• Insert two remaining poles (yellow with prebend section) through pole sleeves running across the width of the flysheet.
• Locate the ends of the straight poles into the eyelets on one end of flysheet.
• Push these poles from the opposite side, forming an arch and locate the pole ends into corresponding eyelets on pole anchor strap.
• Repeat this process for the two remaining poles.
• The tent will now be free standing, reposition if required.
• Tighten the flysheet by adjusting the tension straps to suit. Attach the flysheet clips to the poles.
• Peg through webbing loops located at each pole anchor strap using pin pegs.
• Pull each door forwards and peg the anchor straps. Tighten the straps to suit.
• Peg out all guy lines using alloy Y pegs ensuring that attachment points are evenly tensioned.

Inner Tent (if previously removed)

• Open out inner tent inside flysheet and position doorway to align with flysheet doors.
• Starting from the rear, attach the elasticated hooks on the groundsheet to corresponding rings on the flysheet anchor straps.
• Suspend the inner by linking the elastic loops to the clips on inside of flysheet.

Inner/Flysheet Combined Pitching

• The inner tent and flysheet can remain attached when pitching or packing. However, in humid or very wet weather, the underside of the flysheet may be coated with condensation. If this occurs, it may be advisable to detach the inner and pack it separately to avoid the inner tent becoming wet.
