Eureka APEX 2 Assembly Instructions

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
APEX 2 TENTS:
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.

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.
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.

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.
C
Connect the four corner buckles on the fly to their mates on the tent
fig. 3
webs. Do not fully tighten down any of the webs just yet.
See fig 8.
D
At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loop on the demi-vestibule
wing, taut and stake it down. Repeat with the other vestibule at the
fig. 4
rear of the tent.
See fig.9.
With the vestibule wing sections staked down and tight, go to the
fig. 6
open side of the tent, pull out the vent and hold in place with the
Velcro tab. Then adjust and tighten all the remaining side release
buckles.
Your tent is now ready for use.
NOTE:
• In strong winds, tie extra ropes to the storm loops on the fly and
stake down so that the ropes are tight.
