E. Insert the poles into the pole sleeves, with the ends of

the poles protruding equal distances on both ends of the

pole sleeves.

Erect the Tent

Once all the poles have been threaded into the sleeves,

arrange the tent body again so that you can see all five

stake loops. First insert the pole tips of the two shorter

poles into the grommets located at point D. Now, work

-

ing with the longer pole insert one tip into its stake loop

grommet (Point C or E), and then push the pole from the

opposite side into its arched position. To help push the

pole into an arch, grab the stake loop in one hand and the

pole in the other. Pull the stake loop towards the pole

tip, while pushing the pole into its arched position.

Repeat this process for the two shorter poles.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

Use the tent stakes to make the floor taut and secure to

the ground. First stake out the tent at points D, A, & B.

Then pull out the stake loops at points C & E until the

tent floor is taut and then stake these points down. Drive

the staks into the ground at an angle away from the tent.

Flysheet

Drape the flysheet over the tent and position the zippers

so over the tent door. You will find 1” side release buckles

“Fly Clips” at points A, B, C, D, & E on the rainfly that

correspond with the same points on the tent body. By

first clipping the blue webbing strap on the rainfly to the

blue webbing strap on the tent body, you are guaranteed

a fast and proper rainfly setup every time. Next pull out

points F & G until the vestibule is squarely and evenly

taut, and then stake it out. Guying out points H & I is

optional, but can increase ventilation, as well as, increase

the strength of the tent in high wind conditions.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we

suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking on a

wilderness trip.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in

order to ensure sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris

such as sharp stones and sticks which might abrade or

puncture the tent floor. Choose an area that will drain well

when it rains.

Assemble the Poles

The Iota tent comes with 3 pre-bent poles, 1 long and 2

short of equal length. Carefully unfold the shock corded

pole sections and allow them to slide together. Do not al

-

low the poles to snap together: This can lead to serious pole

damage. Make certain that the insert of each pole section is

fully inserted into the next pole section (Figure 1).

Layout the Tent

Spread the tent body out with the mesh fabric facing up. Do

not step on the tent while setting it up. Once the tent floor

is spread out locate the 5 stake out points A, B, C, D, & E.

Thread the Poles through the Pole Sleeves

There are three pole sleeves on this tent, running from D-B,

D-A, C-E. The sleeves start very near the stake loops, right

above the navy tent floor fabric. The two shorter poles run

from points D-A, and D-B. The longer pole runs from C-
