Component List:

1 Tent Body, 2 Tent Poles, 1 Carry Bag,

1 Tent Fly, 1 Stake Bag/ Stakes

Unroll and unfold the tent with the floor on the ground.

Remove the fly and set it aside. 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.

At the front corner of the tent-

slide the rubber tip of one of the the

fiberglass poles into the rod sleeve.

Angle the pole to the opposite

corner;

. At corner

repeat

with the second pole and sleeve;

See fig. 1 and 2.

Start at the front of the tent at

, grasp

the end of the pole in one hand and the

web loop in the other. Push the pole from

creating an arc. Insert the pin into

the pole ferrule to tension the tent across

the seam line. Repeat with the other pole;

. 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 other 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 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 ropes to the storm loops on the fly and stake

down so that the ropes are tight.

Raise up the tent poles and attach the peak of the tent to them.

Capture both poles where they cross, with the tent clips. Then

attach all remaining clips to the poles.

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. NOTE: General purpose stakes are included but snow or

sand stakes can be purchased at a Eureka! dealer.

See fig 5 and 6.
