Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Spider 1.5 FS, unfold the frame and engage the metal bivvy block by utilizing the TRS system to tension the poles until the shelter is taut. Ensure the groundsheet is properly aligned and zipped securely to the main shell. When packing down, release the tension on the poles first to avoid unnecessary stress on the joints. Always ensure the bivvy is completely dry before storing it in the provided heavy-duty carry bag to prevent mold growth or material degradation. Wipe down the metal bivvy block and pole ends with a damp cloth after use in saltwater or sandy conditions to maintain smooth operation.
