Side Family Grand-Annex
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! 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-
Build the pole ensuring all ferrule connections are fully inserted. Failure to
make full connections may result in pole breakage.
2-
Spread out the Annex and insert the pole through the pole sleeve located on
the front edge of the Annex.
3-
At one corner of the tent Annex locate the ring and pin. Insert the pin into
the end of the pole.
4-
Repeat step 3 with the opposite pole end and corner pin. In this step the
pole will flex into the curved set up shape.
5-
Stretch the Annex over the roof of the tent making sure that the Annex, non
pole end, covers beyond the mid point of the tent (or highest peak of the
tent). If this coverage is not made then rain will run off the fly sheet and
under the Annex protected area.
6-
Stretch out and stake out the two rear guy lines. Then stretch and stake out
the two side position, or corner, guy lines.
7-
Stretch out the front hoop and stake out the hoop guy lines, and stake
through the rings at the base of the hoop.
8-
If being used by itself as a lightweight shelter (as the backpackers
version) you can purchase 2 leg poles that will fit into the rear
grommets providing frame support at the back of the Annex. These
poles are optional and can be purchased at your outdoor or
camping store.
Tent care
We strongly advise you to read the
Eureka! Tent Care Leaflet
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.
