Eureka! Tents Timberline SQ XT User Manual

REV. A  10-.09

Take down: Pull up stakes and stow. Remove the fly. Un-clip the tent from the poles. Pull poles out 

of the grommets, collapse the poles and stow in the bag. Fold the tent and fly. Lay the fly on the 

folded tent along with the bag of poles. Roll up all and stow in the carry bag.

Optional: Add durability and versatility to your tent with our “Lite-Set” Footprint. It’s made of the 

same fabric as the tent's floor: complete with web loops, grommets, and side release buckles. The 

Footprint, in combination with the fly and poles creates a lightweight, compact basic shelter. This 

option reduces the carry weight by more than 25%.

NOTE: Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to 

1. 

Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the 

ground. In windy conditions, stake down one 

front corner into the wind. 

See fig.1.

3. 

Fit the posts into the webs: There are grommeted 

webs sewn to each corner of the tent. Start at 

either end and working you way around the tent, 

insert the posts into the grommets. See fig. 3 & 4.

4. 

Raise the frame: Start at 

either end and insert the ridge 

pole into the hub sleeve labeled 

EUREKA!. Walk to the opposite 

end and grasp both the ridge pole 

and the second hub. Push/curve the 

poles until the ridge pole fits securely into the 

second hub. See fig. 5 & 6.

11. 

At each corner, attach the web buckles from the fly, to 

their mates on the tent web. Pull the web to adjust tension 

as needed. See fig.14.

12. 

Stake down the fly: Use the silver skewers to stake through 

the web loops on the vestibule/door. At each side of the fly, tie 

guy out lines to the two rings and stake these down also. 

Important: Use the slider to adjust tension. 

For proper ventilation, the fly must 

not lay against the tent.        

See fig.15 & 16

7.

 Stake the tent down:  The tent is now freestanding. Move it 

to your desired location. Use the yellow stakes to stake it 

down through the corner web loops.          

Stake diagonally opposite corners 

while applying tension to 

smooth the floor wrinkles 

and square the tent.        

See fig.10.

6.

 Install the spreader pole:  The spreader pole fits 

across the top, over and perpendicular to the ridge 

pole. There are two pockets sewn to the top of the 

tent body. Fit the poles into these pockets. It is 

easier if you slide the pole 

into a pocket first and then 

push it over to the other 

side. See fig. 8.

Then, work your way down 

and across the frame, 

attaching the pole clips as 

you go.  See fig.9.

10.

 Attach the extensions to the ridge pole hub: Fit one of the ridge 

extension poles into the hub and into the rod pocket at the edge of 

the fly. Grasp the top and pivot forward to seat. Repeat at other end 

of the tent. See fig. 13.

9.

spreader pole: Reach under 

the fly at the middle near the 

roof. Locate the sewn on 

pocket and slide it over the 

pocket end of the spreader 

pole. Repeat at the other 

end. See fig. 12.

2. 

Fit each pole to its mate or hub. The sections 

are shockcorded. It is important to make sure that 

each section has firmly seated into the hub. Improperly 

fit poles may cause the hub to break. 

Set the “A” frames over the tent so that the poles align to the tent corner webs 

and the hub sleeve labeled EUREKA! is pointing toward tent center. 

See fig. 2 & 3.

5. 

Attach the tent body to the frame: There are two 

types of connectors sewn to the tent body. For the 

first, hang the two end shockcords onto the stand-offs 

on the hubs. See fig. 7

8. 

Attach the fly to the tent: Drape 

the fly over the top of the tent. Pull 

the fabric out and over the hubs 

and out and over the spreader. 

The fly only fits one way. Align 

the yellow web on the fly to 

the yellow web on the tent.
