ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
For the N!ergy Screen House
6. Stake the shelter down. Stake through the
corner web loops, not the corner rings. Stake
opposite corners while applying tension to
smooth the sidewall wrinkles. See fig 10.
Note: There are snaps on the wall panels just
below the zippers. Be sure to secure these
snaps before you square and stake the shelter.
The snaps will keep the wall panels together
when you raise and lower the zipper and will
keep tension off of the zipper when you pull the
sidewalls to smooth.

SEAM SEALING:
CLEANING:
• Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand
soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage
the tent’s protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is
completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the
seams, before storing or mold / mildew are likely to grow.
• Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate them with silicone spray. This is
especially necessary after ocean side camping to remove salt spray so the
poles don’t corrode or stay gritty.
• Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them off. This is
especially important if you’ve been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you
don’t clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will
become inoperable.
We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or
McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®.
• Work in a fully ventilated area.
• Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even
application and penetration of the sealer.
• Decide which seams need to be sealed. Seams that will be exposed
to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, seams on
uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no
need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We
recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements.
• Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several
thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow
manufacture’s instructions.
electrocution or electric shock hazard
The use of the Power Port with an extension cord running
in to the tent could result in electrocution or electric shock,
or fire or explosion hazards. For these reasons, when using
the Power Port:
fig.b
fig.a
fig.c
DO NOT allow an extension cord or any electrical device to come into
contact with water or condensation inside the tent.
DO NOT use an extension cord if it is worn or damaged.
CONDENSATION & VENTING:
Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water
overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most often,
water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than from the tent
leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag touches the side of
the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces such as the door flaps. A
tent’s double wall construction allows the vapor to escape through the roof to the
outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry.
Leave windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and further
reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in very humid
or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less effective. The
DO use only extension cords that are marked for OUTDOOR USE.
DO connect extension cord only to a 120Volt GFCI protected outlet with
proper ground. If GFCI outlet is not available, use an extension cord with
GFCI protection built in.
DO make sure the part of the extension cord that is outside the tent is lower
than the power port so that rain will not follow the cord into the tent.
DO follow all warnings, instructions, and safety precautions from the
manufacturer of the extension cord.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather than
the cord when disconnecting the E! Power Pak from an extension cord.
Your failure to follow these warnings could cause death, serious injury or
permanent disability to you or others. It is always recommended to have
someone nearby to assist in case of an emergency.
ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS:
STAKING:
DO NOT misuse, modify or alter this product in any way from its condition at the
time of sale. Alteration, modification or any use of this product contrary to the
accompanying written instructions shall void the warranty. Moreover, any
misuse, alteration or modification of the product shall absolve Johnson
Outdoors Gear LLC of any liability for property damages or injuries sustained
as a result of such misuse, modification or alteration.
All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away.
Placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate.
• Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This
enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on
properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the
tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure
that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the
tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers can
not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with
ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook
catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to
be used as a large stake loop if needed.
• With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its
tent connection points and stake down any pull outs.
• Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket
loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on
the stake itself.
features that enhance ventilation are windows, short-sheeted flys (bottom
venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are specific to each tent.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT:
SAFETY INFORMATION: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions applicable to the safe and efficient use of the E!
Power Pak DC power source and your Eureka! E! Power shelter with 12v
outlets.Failure to use the power pack in any way other than originally
intended by Johnson Outdoors Gear LLC will void the warranty and may
damage the unit or result in injury.Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Johnson Outdoors Gear LLC may result in risk of fire, electric
shock, injury to persons, or property damage.The E! Power Pak is not
intended for use by children at any time.
DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the 12v outlet on the E! Power Pak, or
the 12v outlets in the shelter.
DO NOT expose the E! Power Pak or 12v outlets in the shelter to water, rain,
snow or spray.
Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight.
While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to UV
degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and
tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as
a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if
damaged. UV damage can be minimized by erecting tents on shaded sites with
low exposure to direct sunlight.
GENERAL POLE CARE:
• Never let tent poles snap together as this can damage the pole end.
• Do not drop tent or pole bags on their ends and do not bounce a tent bag on its
end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and damage the
pole ends.
• The aluminum frame may bend slightly and take a “set” through usage; this
normally does not affect the performance of the frame.
Staking in special conditions:
• Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area.
• Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel
stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust
stains, which might damage your tent.
• Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie the tent to buried objects
(branches, tent bags, or stuff sacks filled with snow); or tie tents to
snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are stuck in the snow.
GUY LINES:
Do not depend on staking alone to keep your tent secure in high wind.
Done correctly, the addition of guy lines can save your tent in
exceptional weather.
• Make sure that each hook and loop fastener on the underside of the
fly is securely wrapped around the tent frame.
• Attach the guy rope, from the stake bag, to each guy out loop on fly.
• Stake all guy lines 6’ out from the edge of the tent. The optimal angle
from the ground to the guy line is 45˚. See fig a. In high wind,
additional guy lines should be used. On the N!ergy 9 and 1210 add a
secondary guy line off of each guy out point. See fig b.
• On the N!ergy 1310, guy ropes are pre-attached & stored in pockets at
each guy out location. In high wind, attach a secondary line at each
guy out point on the fly and half way down the tan mid-poles. See fig c.
The N!ergy Screenhouse has pre-attached reflective guy ropes at each
DO NOT connect any device with a neutral conductor (via an AC inverter)
to the E! Power Pak or the 12v outlets.
DO NOT use the E! Power Pak if it is damaged. Use care not to drop the unit. A
drop or fall can damage the unit even though no visible damage may be
apparent.
DO NOT expose the E! Power Pak to temperatures over 104˚F/40˚C. Always
store the E! Power Pak in a dry environment. Ideal storage temperature is
70˚F/21˚ C.
DO NOT permit the battery in the E! Power Pak to freeze. Never attempt to
recharge a frozen battery.
DO NOT disassemble the E! Power Pak. Incorrect reassembly may result in
a risk of electric shock or fire.If your E! Power Pak requires service, call
Schumacher Electric at 1-800-621-5485.
GENERAL TENT CARE:
• Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones.
• Try not to wear shoes inside your tent.
• Use a ground cloth whenever possible.
• Do not keep food inside a tent. Hungry critters will chew through tent fabric in
search of food.
STORAGE:
• Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool
place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This
allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe.
• Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This
reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life.
• The tent bag should be used only as a carry sack and not for storage.
COLOR TRANSFER:
• Do to the nature of tent fabrics, color can transfer from darker to lighter fabrics
when the two fabrics are in contact over time when wet, damp or exposed to the
combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect the tent’s
performance. To prevent / minimize color transfer, always make sure your tent is
completely dry prior to packing and storage.
KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC.
This tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The
fabric may burn if left in continuous contact with any flame
source. The application of any foreign substance to the tent
fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.
DO NOT operate any device which burns fuel inside your tent.
Combustion consumes oxygen and can produce dangerous
levels of carbon monoxide, which could lead to serious injury or
death.
