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) the 2 long poles diagonally
across the inner tent through the pole sleeves forming an X pattern.
Insert one of the pole tips into the grommet located at a corner beside the door.
-
Move to the back of the tent and insert the pole end into the opposite grommet.
-
The pole will now be flexed.
Repeat those steps with the remaining pole(s).
-
The inner tent is now automatically standing up. Stake out the inner tent.
-
4 Insert the short pole (flying bar) into the fly on the sleeves at both ends of the
roofline.

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.
