NEMO Equipment BURRIT - Manual (Page 5)

27. To use the Integrated Pump, first make sure the valve
on top of the pump is closed, then blow into the pump and
squeeze it with your hand or under your foot. Repeat this
sequence, being sure to frequently inhale! With practice,
this becomes quite easy. When learning, be careful not to
get light-headed!
28. When you are finished, disconnect the pump and open
the valve to allow the inside of the pump to dry out.
Remember to put the pump back in the Pump Pocket for
next time. Also, don’t forget to close the Pump Pocket
zipper!
29. There is plenty of room inside the nose cone of Burrito
to read a book. There is a loop overhead for attaching your
headlamp and a flashlight holder along the side next to the
airbeam.
30. After the rain stops, do your best to dry the tent out
before packing it up again. This will save weight and
reduce the likelihood of mildew. Your NEMO Roll-Up stuff
sack also works very well as a hanging drying bag. The
dark color of the stuff sack will absorb heat from the sun
and the mesh allows the moisture to escape.
31. Try to clean as much dirt and debris from your tent as
possible before packing it. This will help preserve the
breathability of the tent fabrics and reduce overall wear and
tear.
32. Congratulations on your first successful expedition as
part of NEMO’s extended family!
Repair Sequence:
R1. NEMO AirSupported™ tents are designed to withstand
all the usual rigors of backpacking and camping. We
worked hard to select materials with the right balance of
being lightweight and durable. If you take reasonable care
of your tent, you should never have a problem. But,
accidents do happen! If you have a puncture, the next few
steps will allow you how to swap in a new bladder and
repair the damaged one to keep as a spare. The whole
process should only take a few minutes. Please read all the
steps first before beginning.
R2. Every airbeam has multiple Bladder Access Pockets.
Never open the access pockets when the airbeam is
inflated! The bladder inside is only meant to be airtight. If it
is not supported by the airbeam outer shell it will expand
and pop. First disconnect the quick-disconnect fitting on the
airbeam and then open the access pockets.
R3. If the puncture is close to a Bladder Access Pocket, you
can simply patch the bladder with the included Tear-Aid
patch kit. Otherwise, simply tie a new bladder to the one
inside the airbeam and pull the old one out from the opposite
side, dragging the new one into place. It is best to stake
down one side of the airbeam or have someone hold it while
you pull the bladder through. It is very important to insert the
bladder without any twists. It helps to lay the new bladder flat
on the ground pointing towards the access pocket with the
valve oriented the right direction.
R4. Any twists in the bladder will result in obvious un-inflated
portions of the airbeam when you re-inflate the airbeam.
These will require repeating this entire process, so it is best
to take your time and be sure the bladder is fed into the tent
with the valve oriented in the right direction and without any
twists. Also be sure that the bladder goes all the way to the
bottom of the airbeam on both ends. Remember that the
bladder requires the airbeam shell to prevent it from
expanding and popping!
R5. Once the new bladder is in place, secure the Bladder
Access Pockets and connect the quick-disconnect fitting. If
the bladder is installed correctly, the fitting should be facing
towards the round hole. If you need to twist the bladder to
insert the fitting through the airbeam shell, you will need to
reverse this process and try inserting the bladder again.
Remember, no twists!
R6. After reconnecting the bladder, inflate the tent and
inspect the airbeam. If the bladder is installed properly, the
entire airbeam will inflate evenly and firmly from end-to-end.
If there are any twists, a section of the airbeam will not inflate
and become firm. If this happens, you will need to tie the old
bladder onto the new one and reverse and repeat the
process.
R7. Repairing small holes in a NEMO bladder is simple. If
necessary, inflate the bladder underwater to locate the
puncture. Once you locate the puncture, make sure the area
is dry and clean and cover the hole with a generous piece of
the self-adhesive patch included in your repair kit. If the
damage is larger than 1/8” in length or diameter, the repair
may not be reliable. Replacement bladders are available
from your NEMO retailer or from
www.nemoequipment.com .
R8. Keep the repaired bladder as a spare in a plastic bag in
your stuff sack accessory pocket. It is important to keep the
bladder dry and clean so that it is ready for future use. Take
care not to damage the CPC quick-disconnect fitting or allow
it to get dirty.
