Directly after purchase

1. Choose the right tent pegs

Important: Different camping grounds require different pegs (plastic for clay; metal

for rocky; wood for sand). Your Eureka! tent contains 1 type of top quality pegs for

general usage. To ensure secure setup of your tent, when you expect to camp on

different grounds during your trip(s), please buy the appropriate pegs at your dealer’s

in advance.

2. Do a trial-set up of your tent.

Please set up your tent prior to your first trip to ensure you are familiar with the

setup and the tent is in proper condition.

Tent set-up instructions

Important: Inspect the chosen site and clear all sharp and/or protruding objects that

can damage the tent floor. Be sure the site will offer proper drainage of rainwater

away from the tent. When choosing a site try to pitch the tent in a shaded area.

1. Unroll the tent and spread out the inner tent on the ground with the mesh side

facing up.

2. Assemble the shock-corded pole segments ensuring the inserts are fully

connected to avoid pole damage.

3. Sleeve system

- Slide (always push through sleeves as pulling can

separate the connections, resulting in breakage when

the pole is flexed) all the poles parallel to each other

across the inner tent through the pole sleeves.

- Bend one of the poles across the other pole and insert

one of the pole tips into the grommet located at a

corner beside the door.

- Repeat this with the other end of the pole, so the pole

gets an U-shape.

- Repeat those steps with the remaining pole(s). The

poles should form this shape when looking at the tent from above:

- The inner tent is now automatically standing up and can be staked

out.

4. Stretch the fly sheet over the tent. Attach (the Velcro fasteners) (hooks)

(clips), found on the inner side of the fly, to the frame. Connect all fly

buckle locations.

5. Stretch and stake down the vestibule(s) with pegs.

6. Stake out all the locations and adjust tension at all buckle locations.

Stake out the guy lines to stabilize the tent in windy conditions.

Tent care

We strongly advise you to read the Eureka! Tent Care Leaflet (included in

the peg bag) before first use!!

 Floor protection: We recommend the use of a thin groundsheet or floor

saver with any tent for added protection from abrasion. The floor saver

should be about 10cm. (4 inches) from the tent edge to avoid the

possibility of channelling water beneath the tent.

 Damaging substances: Fuels

can damage tents as can DEET found in

many insect repellents.

 Exposure to sun: The sun’s UV rays can be harmful

even with technical

advances in fabrics. Prolonged exposure could result in fading and

possibly fabric disintegration. Do not leave a tent up longer than

necessary.

 Cleaning: Clean tent fabric, poles and zippers with lukewarm, clean

water after every use. Never use detergents, washing machines or

dryers (also see warranty leaflet).

 Tent storage: It is important that you store the tent in a dry and cool

condition. If you put the tent away in the carry bag while it is wet, even

for a short time, it may become affected by mildew, which can damage

the coating.

 Seams: All major seams are factory taped. Over time seams could

experience delamination. Simply clean the seam and apply seam sealer

that can be purchased at most outdoor stores.

Optional Eureka! accessories

 Backpacker Annex Tarp

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
