Do not stake the tent down yet. In windy conditions, we recommend that the mesh end should face into the wind and that you stake down one corner of this end. Join the shock-corded poles together. Try to prevent pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. NOTE: Make certain each insert end has seated firmly into each plain end. See fig 1. At the front corner of the tent- A, slide the ball end of one of the aluminum poles into the rod sleeve. Angle the pole to the opposite corner; A to C. At corner B, repeat with the second pole and sleeve; B to D. See fig. 1 and 2. Start at the front of the tent at D, grasp the end of the pole in one hand and the web loop in the other. Push the pole from D to B creating an arc. Insert the pin into the pole ferrule to tension the tent across the seam line. Repeat with the other pole; C to A. See fig 3 and 4. With the tent secure, drape the fly over the tent body. The fly only fits on the tent one way. Position the fly over the tent with the vestibule wing sections over the doors and with the ! section over the all mesh end of the tent. Reach under the fly and connect the hook and loop tabs to the tent poles. See fig 7. Connect the four corner buckles on the fly to their mates on the tent webs. Do not fully tighten down any of the webs just yet. See fig 8. At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loop on the vestibule taut and stake it down. Make sure that the vestibule is tight across the door. Repeat with the second vestibule at the rear of the tent. See fig 9. With the vestibule wing sections staked down and tight, go to the open side of the tent, pull out the vent and hold it in place with the hook and loop tab. Then adjust and tighten all the remaining side release buckles. Your tent is now ready for use. NOTE: In strong winds, tie extra cords to the storm loops on the fly and stake down so that the cords are tight. Take down: Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the fly. Pull pins out of the poles. Un-clip, collapse the tent poles and stow in the pole bag. Fold the tent and the fly. Roll up both along with the pole bag towards the door and stow all in the main bag. REV.B 2-10 A C B D fig. 1 fig. 2 fig 3 fig 4 fig 5 fig 7 fig 6 A C B D Raise up both poles and attach the peak of the tent to them. Capture the poles, where they cross, with the tent clips. Then attach all remaining clips to the poles. See fig 5. Your tent is now free-standing, place it in location that has enough room for the fly and stake it down through the corner rings. Stake the opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles. See fig 6 and 7. NOTE: General purpose stakes are included but snow or sand stakes can be purchased at a Eureka! dealer. Good: 4 stakes /4 lines Best: 4 stakes /8 lines REV E. FEB 09 SEAM SEALING: We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®. • Work in a fully ventilated area. • Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer. • Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements. • Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture's instructions. STAKING: All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate. • Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs. • Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself. Staking in special conditions: • Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil. • Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might damage your tent. • Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie ...
