Eureka Grand Manan Tour - Manual

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE GRAND MANAN
TOUR TENT
Component List: 1 Tent, 2 Tent Poles, 1 Screen Hoop, 1 Carry
Bag, 1 Pole Bag, 1 Stake Bag w/ Stakes and Guys, 1 Rain Fly
Attach the fly to the tent:
• Once the tent is securely staked, spread the rain fly
out, right side up. Start at one end and drag the fly up
and over the top of the tent. It only fits one way. Align
the front door of the fly to the front entrance of the
screen room. See fig.7.
Secure the fly to the frame:
• Reach under the fly and wrap
the Velcro® straps through
the openings in the sleeves
and around the poles to
secure the fly to the tent
frame. See fig. 8.
• Also attach the wide Velcro®
straps to the patches on the
sleeves at each corner elbow.
See fig. 9
• Locate the long adjustable web/buckle
assemblies on the underside at each
corner of the fly. Attach these buckles to
their mates on the corner stake-out webs
and adjust to proper tension. See fig. 10.
• There are also, web/ring assemblies on the
bottom at each corner of the fly. Pull
these out and away from the tent and use
skewers to stake down. Adjust as
necessary. See fig.11.
• Grasp the web/rings on the door, pull
these out and away from the tent. Stake
down and adjust the tension. Repeat at
the rear of the tent with the vestibule. See
fig.12
NOTE: In strong winds, tie extra cords ( included ) to
the storm rings on the fly and stake down. Adjust
the slider so that the cords are tight. See fig.13.
NOTE: This is a large family style tent and we recommend that you
have two people for setup. Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its
end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These
actions may cut the shock cord and/or damage the pole ends.

Raise the tent:
• Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it’s windy, stake
down one front corner into wind.
• Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length. 2 long [11
section] for the tent and 1 short [9 section] for the screen hoop.
• Assemble the shock corded
poles as you work. Try to
keep the pole sections from
snapping together, as this
can damage the ends. Make
certain each plain end has
been properly seated into its
metal ferrule. Slide one long
pole through each tent
sleeve. The poles run from corner to corner, cross at the center
through the sleeves. The gray pole fits to gray web. See fig 1 & 2

Stake it down:
• The tent is now freestanding. Place it in the desired location and use
the yellow stakes to stake it down through the corner web loops.
Stake diagonally opposite corners while applying tension to square
the tent and smooth any floor wrinkles.
Pull out the web loops from the screen room, use the skewers and
stake them down. It works best to do this before you add the fly.
See fig.6.
• Insert the post end of a pole into
the web grommet.
• At the opposite end, with the pole
in one hand and the web in the
other, feed the pole up, bending it
evenly along its length to create an
arc. Make sure the ferrules do not
get caught on the sleeves. Place the
post end into this grommet to
maintain tension. Repeat with the
other tent pole. See fig. 3.
• Assemble and slide the screen room hoop over the tent
poles and through the front sleeve. Fit the post into the
outside grommet on same front webs as the tent poles.
See fig. 4.
• Attach all the pole clips to the hoop. See fig. 5.

Feature:
The Grand Manan provides exceptional air flow.
Detach the web rings from the stakes. Roll up
the fly sides for 4-way ventilation. Secure in
place with the attached loops and toggles.
See fig. 14.
Take down:
Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the
fly. Push poles out of the sleeves. Collapse all
poles and stow in the pole bag. Fold the
tent/fly. Roll up both along with the pole bag
towards a door. Stow all in the main bag.
