1. GENERAL The standard TrellTent system The TrellTent system was developed in the beginning of the 70s in co-operation with the Medical Board of the Swedish Armed Forces. The serial deliveries started 1980 and up to today, Trelleborg Protective Products has produced some 3500 tents. The TrellTent system was the original inflatable tent with ambient pressure in the tent and inflatable ribs. These features give an erection time of down to 5 minutes. The idea behind the TrellTent system is to offer a lightweight tent, which is quickly erected and easy to handle, but also offers optimal durability and safe operation. This has been achieved by a modular, inflatable tent system with a great variety of sizes, designs, connection units and accessories. The half-cylindrical shape of the tent makes it resistant to wind, snow and rain load. The fixed attached floor gives a clean internal environment and makes the tent easy to handle. The light green colour inside the tent offers a natural colour that meets medical requirements. The ribs are equipped with numerous attachments where equipment can be hanged. Connection parts, which also serve as a barrier for rainwater, are placed around the doors. The fabric is watertight. The durability of the TrellTent system is well proven after many years of use in the most different climatic and environmental circumstances, such as in the Gulf war, the Somalian war, in Cambodia, on the South Pole and during the Swedish Mount Everest expeditions. Ribs The construction with separate ribs and spacing collars of aluminium pipes is chosen of different reasons. The main reason is that this system is much safer than a system with inflatable horizontal tubes. If one rib is damaged, the other ribs will keep the pressure and the tent will still be possible to use. A damaged inner tube can also be exchanged to a new one while the tent is in use. The air valves are of type non-return valves, which are easily manoeuvred by hand. The ribs can be inflated by means of a fan, a foot pump or by air from BA bottles. Spacing collars The spacing collars are made of aluminium pipes with plastic muffs at the ends. The collars are separable into two pieces. They are delivered in bags. Doors The doors are 1,9 m wide and 2,1 m high. They are equipped with heavy-duty metal zippers. When a door is opened, it is rolled together and hangs in three rope loops and pegs. A connection part around the door makes it possible to connect two tents together easily. Windows The windows are made of a loose-woven PVC fabric. The PVC is a bit whitish in order to prevent view from the outside. This also prevents strong direct sunlight. The windows are equipped with hatches that can be rolled together when not used. When used they can be fixed by means of Velcro tapes. The hatches also serve as an extra protection against strong heat. Connections A standard 3/2 tent is equipped with 4 service hoses and a 3/4 tent with 8 service hoses, for electrical cables or hoses. Both tent types have 4 ducts for ventilation.


Support To secure the tent to the ground, it is equipped with reinforced holes for tent pegs and connection of guy ropes. The tent is also equipped with a 250 mm wide flap along all sides, which can be used for fixation of the tent when tent pegs can not be used. 1.1 TrellTent 3/2 The TrellTent is primarily intended for surgical or other activities that set high demands on the surrounding hygiene and the working environment. The tent is also appropriate for other functions in first-aid stations and hospitals. The 3/2 tents can be connected end-wall to end-wall, which allows unlimited lengthways expansion. 1.2 TrellTent 3/4 The basic design of the 3/4 tent is identical to that of the 3/2 tent. The major difference is that the 3/4 tent has 4 doors, which makes it possible to connect other tents to all four sides of the tent. 1.3 TrellTent 6/2 HD The TrellTent 6/2 HD is a spacious tent designed to be used as an auditorium. It is separated into two sections for easier handling. The sections are connected by means of spring hooks and Velcro tapes. The tent is equipped with 2 standard doors on each gable, and thus it can be connected to the rest of the TrellTent system. 1.4 TrellTent TFA The TFA tent serves as a sluice for a C-protected camp with an internal over-pressure. It has the standard design on one gable and 2 doors on the other. It consists of totally 5 rooms. The airflow is always in the direction from the filtered air to the contaminated outer air. 1.5 Air pressure fan The air pressure fan is a portable 1-phase fan giving a maximal pressure of 18 kPa. It comes in a rigid wooden box for storage and protection.

HANDLING 3.1 General information The ribs can be inflated either with the electrical fan, the foot pump or with air from BA bottles. The fan gives the correct pressure, 18 kPa. When using the foot pump, care should be taken that the recommended pressure is not exceeded. With BA bottles, an over pressure valve should be used. The tent pegs can be used also on asphalt, if necessary. Usage of the Air distribution channels is recommended, in order to spread the incoming air evenly. Door seals are to be used when the tents are put under pressure. Two types of seals are available for closed side door and for opened door. In order to keep the tent free from dirt, it is recommended that the inner ground sheets are removed before the tent is dismantled.


3.2 Erecting tent 3/2, 3/4 and TFA If the tent is to be used for medical purposes, maximum cleanliness must be observed during handling. The tent is packed in tarpaulin as shown in the figure below.

Place the packed tent where it is to be erected. Check the condition of the ground surface. Open the tarpaulin. Fold in one flap.

Roll the tent off and remove the tarpaulin. Unroll and unfold the tent. If the tent is to be camouflaged or if a C-fly or a sun net is to be used, place this over the tent before inflating the ribs. Fasten the guy ropes.


Close the non-return valves.

Attach the air pressure fan to the valve on one of the ribs. Inflate.

If the tent is inflated for the first time, the valve should be tightened with air in the ribs in order to avoid leakage. Please see sticker on the valve.


Lift the ribs from the inside during inflation. Check that the inner tube is correct positioned i.e. not twisted and not folded at the ends, in order to avoid burst of the inner tubes. Avoid bringing in dirt, especially before the inner ground sheet is in place. Fit the spacing collars into place as the other ribs are inflated. Press in the spacing collars between the upper black loop fasteners (about 2 m above the floor) on the sides of the ribs. On the TFA tent special care should be taken that the reinforcements on the inner walls, which correspond to the loop fasteners, are placed over the loop fasteners.

Place the inner ground sheet with the patterned side facing up. Top off each rib and put on the valve covers. Brace and anchor the tent with the guy ropes and the tent pegs.

When the tent is put under pressure, make sure that it is well anchored to the ground. Use the special seals at the doors in order to minimise the air outlet. Inner ground sheets should always be used together with the seals. The flaps on the lower part of the doors, which are normally turned outwards, should now be turned inwards. The pressure in the tent must not exceed 11 mm water gauge.


In the TFA tent each internal short wall is equipped with an adjustable opening with a hatch. For optimal ventilation, the hatch should be kept fully open. 3.3 Erecting TrellTent 6/2 HD In general, follow the steps under 3.1. The tent consists of two parts, which are connected by means of spring-hooks and Velcro tape flaps. Follow the same procedure for the HD tent as for the standard tent until the step "Close the non-return valves " (page 10). Then move the two sections together and fasten the spring hooks. Close the Velcro tape flaps. Inflate to some 50 % of the full pressure in all ribs, except for the two centre ribs (the reason for this is to enable to reach to the top to fasten the centre collar). Fasten the spacing collars. Note that the centre collars are secured to the upper grey loop fasteners by means of pegs. Open a part of the Velcro flap to reach the valve. Inflate the two centre ribs to full pressure. Then inflate the other ribs to full pressure. When the tent is put under pressure, make sure that it is well anchored to the ground. On the outer side of each rib, a D-ring is placed, which is to be used in case of need for extra fixation to the ground. Use the special seals at the doors in order to minimise the air outlet. Inner ground sheets should always be used together with the seals. The flaps on the lower part of the doors, which are normally turned outwards, should now be turned inwards. The pressure in the tents must not exceed 11 mm water gauge. 3.4 Connection alternative Once the tents are erected they can easily be moved and connected to each other. Use the handles on the ground flap. The tents are equipped with both grommets and grommet clamps around the doors at the end-walls, which permits several connection alternatives.


The tents must be placed close enough, in order for the grommet clamps on one tent to be inserted into the grommets on the other tent.

Fasten the clamps using the connection rope. Finish the clamping with a knot. Connecting end-wall to end-wall using connection section A connection section is primarily used when ground conditions do not allow connection directly end-wall to end-wall.


Connecting connection tent end-wall to side-wall

The surplus lining on the side-walls of the connection tent is folded-in and fixed with bands and D-rings. Release this surplus lining and attach it to the surplus lining round the gable door.


3.5 Description of specific parts The doors shall be rolled up and fixed with rope loops and pegs.

The rope loops and the pegs serve as an alternative to the door zippers.

The window flaps are fixed in open position by Velcro strips.

Place the air heating unit or AC unit close to the air intake, which is to be used. (The other air intakes are then used for ventilation or in a closed position.) Insert the hose into the air intake and fasten by pulling and tying the drawstring. The hose should protrude about 15 cm through the tent roof.


Fit the distribution channel, starting at the end-wall rib where the air heating or AC unit hose has been inserted. Fasten the centre of the air distribution channel (marked with a black arrow) at the top of the end-wall rib (turn the arrow so it can be seen). Fasten the channel to the rest of the ribs in the black loop fasteners by using S-hooks. The channel should be stretched. The sketch shows channels for heating.


Draw the connecting end of the AC channel over the hose from the AC unit and pull and tie the drawstring. Close the end, which is not used, by pulling and tying the drawstring. Check that it is tightly sealed.

Plastic chains for suspending intravenous drip bottles and the like can be mounted in the white loop fasteners by means of the S-hooks. On the outside of each rib there is a spring-loaded non-return valve. The valve is usually opened when the tent is packed. Close the valve before inflating by depressing the button in the middle of the valve and turning it clockwise. The non-return valve is closed when the button is in level with the upper edge of the valve. Important! In case of a temperature change of 20C the valve must be opened for 10 seconds, then connect the blower again and inflate again using the Blower-K 180.

The hose of the air pressure fan is equipped with a bayonet attachment, which fits the valve on the rib. The fan cannot supply air pressure exceeding the permitted limit (18 kPa).


Service openings (2 in each end-wall) are available for insertion of water hoses, electricity cables etc.

3.6 Dismantling Remove all equipment from the tent. Make sure that all window flaps are closed. Clean the inner ground sheet, fold it and remove it from the tent. Avoid bringing dirt into the tent after this is done. Remove all tent pegs and guy ropes. Loosen all connections that join the tents. Remove the protective covers and open the inflation valves. Do this by depressing the button in the centre of the valve with your thumb and turning the button counter clockwise. Remove the spacing collars. Leave the doors open to let all air out of the tent. Let the air in the ribs flow out for about 5 minutes. 3.7 Packing

Roll the tent towards the valves in order to press out all remaining air and then roll the tent back. Close the valves. Avoid stepping on the tent cloth. Fold the tent lengthways from both sides towards the centre. Start with the side-wall without a valve.


Fold the tent lengthways again.

Place the tarpaulin on the ground. Roll the tent together towards one of the short sides and onto the tarpaulin. Put the inner ground sheet on top. Fold the flaps over and tighten with the rope.


4. MAINTENANCE / REPAIR 4.1 Cleaning Clean the tent with a solution of water and a synthetic cleanser, such as liquid soap or a detergent. Remove stains of oil or tar with a rag dipped in kerosene. IMPORTANT! The tent should be completely dry before packing. 4.2 Repair general Use Bostik 1818 with 5 % hardener 1-7869 for tent fabric, floor fabric, window fabric and inner tubes of polyurethane. For inner tubes of butyl rubber, a rubber based glue such as Viktoria from Kienzle or art no 5050055 from Tip Top should be used. 4.3 Repair of tent, floor and window fabric 4.3.1 Repair of minor holes and tears Follow the repair instructions below for minor holes and tears (max. 15 cm). a) The repair should be made at room temperature. b) Make sure that the part to be repaired is clean and completely dry. c) Slightly dampen a rag with acetone or industrial petrol and wash the part to be repaired. Engine petrol must not be used. d) Apply the glue to both the repair patch and the cloth. e) Allow to dry until the surfaces are no longer sticky, then press together. f) Allow to dry for a few hours before exposing the repaired part to any stress. 4.3.2 Repair of major holes and tears Major holes and tears up to 50 cm can be repaired by gluing but should be repaired at a workshop for best result. 4.3.3 Repair of large holes and tears Large holes and tears should be repaired by HF-welding in a workshop. 4.4 Repair of rib casing If a rib is damaged, a repair casing can be used for temporary repairs according to the instructions below. NOTE: A permanent repair should be done by HF-welding at a workshop. a) The repair should be made at room temperature. b) Remove the inner tube. c) Place the repair casing on the inside, adjacent to the damaged area. Glue into place if necessary. d) Fit the tube as described in Replacement of inner tubes below. 4.5 Repair of polyurethane inner tubes Urgent repairs can be done according to the instructions below. IMPORTANT! Keep hands free from oil and grease. a) Round off ends of the tear. b) Abrade an area, slightly larger than the patch to be used, around the damaged area with sandpaper, a rasp or nap-liquid. c) Apply a thin layer of glue with hardener or another polyurethane based glue to both surfaces. d) Let dry until the solvent has evaporated, i.e. when the adhesive no longer sticks to the finger but is still tacky. Drying time depends on temperature (normally 3-6 min). e) Apply the patch over the damaged area. Press firmly into place with the thumb working from centre outwards.
