ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS APEX XT TENTS:

CB

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.

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.

D

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 vestibule wing sections staked down and tight, go to the open side of the tent, pull out the vent and hold in place with the hook and loop 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.
