Any other use is deemed improper and may result in damage to property or even personal injury.

Safety instructionsWARNING! Accessory parts lying around, an obstructed tent exit and damage to the tent could result in injury or suffocation.>> Do not allow children to play with the pack sack and accessories. They may get caught in it when playing and suffocate. Make sure that there is always an unobstructed path of escape out of the tent.

WARNING! If the tree slings or quick release units end up in the hands of children, they could strangle themselves.

>> Store the tree slings and quick release units out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to play with the tree slings and quick release units.

WARNING! Risk of fire and burn hazard! The flying tent consists of flammable material.>> Do not set up any cooking or heating devices in the flying tent and do not hang any lighting fixtures near the walls or roof of the tent.

WARNING! Incorrectly using or assembling the flying tent can cause injury.>> Do not exceed the hammock’s load bearing capacity of 120 kg. Make sure that only one person is lying in the hammock at the same time. The suspension attachment for hooking the hammock into place must be properly installed, checked for wear at regular intervals and replaced if necessary. The flying tent may only be set up and assembled by adults. Only set up the hammock over soft ground. If you set up the hammock such that the lying height is over 600 mm, the ground must be provided with shock absorption. The fabrics and lines are subject to wear and may become brittle.
