Directly after purchase
1. Choose the right tent pegs
Important:
Different camping grounds require different pegs (plastic for clay; metal
for rocky; wood for sand). Your Eureka! tarp 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:
When settinp up the tarp during stormy wheater we recommend 2
people for the set up to avoid any damage. If not possible fix the tarp with 4 guy
lines.
1.
Locate a site with trees positioned far enough apart to allow set up. Note
you will require a minimum distance of 5 meter, the spine length of the
tarp, and a side span of approximately 4 meter.
2.
Assemble the additional poles. (If you don’t have the poles, tie the VCS
off to the trees or other fixing points at your preferred height.) Arcording
to the model, you have 2 (VCS 12) or 4 (VCS 16) or 2 (VCS 18) poles.
3.
Secure guy lines, you may want to use camp rope of your choice, to the
reinforced loops at each end of the spine, or end to end seam.
4.
Insert one of the long poles into an end spin grommet. Hold in
an upright position while your partner stakes guy lines in place.
Stretch out the Parawing and move to the opposite end. Insert the
second long pole tip into the grommet and stake out guy lines.
5.
Stretch out the side wings and secure guy lines to the corners.
Insert the tip of a wing pole into the wing corner grommet, keep
the pole upright, and stake out guy lines. Repeat on the opposite
wing.
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.
