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- 

A, 

slide the rubber tip of one of the the 
fiberglass 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 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. 

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.
