  • Page 2 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS STOP Prior to installing any tent, always make sure you check for overhead and underground obstructions! For safe assembly, we recommend: • Steel Toe Safety Shoes • Hard Hats/Helmets • Safety Gloves • Utility Aprons • Step Ladders • Drop Cloths • Cleaning Supplies • Tape Measures • Sledge Hammer/Stake Driver • Front End Loader • Carpet Dolly • Wooden coaster for side poles ALWAYS READ THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING.
  • Page 3 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS Assembly (100'x210' Shown) 1. With the site determined and evaluated, begin inspection and pre-assembly. Inspect the tent top to make sure there are no holes, rips or tears in the fabric and web belts. Inspect all hardware, plates, grommets, poles, stakes and other fittings for signs of fatigue, wear or breakage. Also inspect webs, ropes and guy lines for general overall condition and wear and tear. Repair or replace any item as needed. Failure to do so will compromise the overall integrity and performance of the tent. 2. Measure and mark the correct stake pattern for the tents. Also mark the ground for each center pole position. See Appendix A for information on Squaring a Tent. 3. Lay out the web/ratchets and set the stakebars and stakes and drive the stakes flush to the ground or top of the stakebar. See Appendix B for information on Staking. IMPORTANT: Installer MUST refer to the specific tent design's blueprint for stake load requirement in order to satisfy full wind load requirements. Any diagrams or reference in this manual are only a suggestion, only the blueprint and specific site conditions can determine exact number and placement of stakes and stakebars. 4. Lay out the side poles in approximate positions, then spread the drop cloths. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc. Rev.
  • Page 4 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS 5. Unroll and layout the tent top panels on the drop cloth. 6. Make sure to align the sections so that the rope end (lace edge) and the grommet ends are opposite each other. 7. Stack and secure the center pole fittings (pipe and flange) together with the rain cap. The assembly only fits one way. The stacking order is important. Screw a bottom flange onto the pipe. Then, working from the under side of the tent, fit the pipe up through the center pole plates. 8. Place the rain cap over the pipe (spindle) and screw the top flange over the rain cap and onto the pipe, securing all pieces together. Do this for all remaining center pole positions. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc. Rev. O - September 2014...
  • Page 5 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS 9. Lace the top together. Starting at the center pole fittings, work your way down the tent - from peak to eave. See Appendix C for information on Lacing a Tent. 10. When you reach the long loop, go to the eave and work backwards to reweave the last lace loops back into the seam. Tie a knot to finish. 11. Attach the clips and rings along the rain flap to cover the lace line seam. Then, secure Velcro® at poles positions along the valance. 12. Attach web and ratchets to the corner pole fittings. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc. Rev. O - September 2014...
  • Page 6 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS 13. Next, attach web and ratchets to the side pole fittings. NOTE: You may need to reach under the canopy and re-insert the cast fitting at the side pole locations. 14. Then, attach web and ratchets to the lace line fittings. NOTE: You must capture both fittings at the lace lines. Stacking order is important. Take care that you do not invert the top and bottom fittings. 15. Prepare to raise the tent. NOTE: Whenever you assemble a tent with hardware at or above the shoulder, always wear a hard hat. 16. Starting at one corner, from under the top, fit a corner pole pin through the plate and grommets. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc. Rev. O - September 2014...
  • Page 7 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS 17. Raise the corner pole to a slight angle, with the bottom of the pole set slightly inside the tent perimeter. Depending on the ground conditions, it may be necessary to place the poles on a small, wooden pad, or coaster. This will minimize or prevent the poles from sinking into the ground when tension is applied. Gently tighten the web and ratchet on the corner pole to hold it in place. 18. Next, work your way around the tent raising all the lace line side poles and remaining corner poles as you go. Set the poles slightly inside the tent and gently tighten the web and ratchet to hold them in place. 19. Lastly, fit all other side pole pins into the side pole plates, setting the poles slightly inside the tent and gently tightening the web and ratchets on each. 20. Assemble the center poles. Each center pole is in sections. Slide the junction tube into the bottom length, align the holes and insert two threaded bolts with a washer on each side. Tighten the bolts to secure. Repeat with the top length. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc.
  • Page 8 TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: EVOLUTION ™ WR/ES (WIND-RATED) TENTS 21. Move the center pole into position under the tent, with the pin close to the center pole plates. You can use a carpet dolly, manpower or other means of moving the center poles into position. NOTE: Try to keep the inside of your tent top OFF of the center poles, to avoid dirt and abrasion. 22. Raise the center pole assembly, carefully inserting the center pole pin into the top plates. NOTE: As you begin raising the center poles, make sure the top pin does not get hung up on the fabric around the pipe and flange, as this could cause the center pole pin to tear the tent top. 23. Continue to raise the center pole assembly by pushing from the base of the center pole - the fabric design of the tent top will raise the pin of the pole upwards as you push from the bottom. You can use manpower, machinery or winch to assist in raising the center poles. 24. When the center pole is almost erect, position the center pole over the ground marking and lower it to set it in place. www.eurekapartytents.com ©2014 Johnson Outdoors Gear, Inc. Rev. O - September 2014...
  • Page 9 - Corner poles - Intermediate side poles 27. Continue to position side poles and tighten web and ratchets around perimeter of the tent. Check to make sure the center poles are still straight. If not, adjust the tensioning until all poles are plumb. 28. Tie the jump ropes to the top half of the poles and pull down until snug. The installation is now complete. To take down the tent, follow the instructions in reverse.
