METEOR LIGHT CD

METEOR LIGHT CD

(Computer-aided Design)

tent is very easy to pitch

and maintain. Follow these

instructions to pitch your tent

quickly, safely and easily.

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.

Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles

Unfurl the tent and lay the tent floor flat on the ground

with the front door unzipped. Carefully unfold the shock

corded pole sections and allow them to slide together. Do

not allow the poles to snap together: This can lead to serious

pole damage. Make certain that the insert of each pole sec-

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

You will have three poles of equal length.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

The Meteor Light CD is a freestanding tent. Staking out

the floor is not necessary in order to pitch it. However, we

recommend that you stake down the tent after it is pitched

for greater stability in high winds.

Erect the Tent

Insert one pole into the pole sleeve which runs from point

A to point E (Figure 2). Insert another pole into the pole

sleeve running from B to D. Insert the metal tips of the

pole ends into their respective grommets at points A and

B. Then, from the opposite end of the tent push the poles

into the pole sleeves, one at a time, making them flex into

an even curve, until you can insert the other ends of the

poles into the grommets at points D and E. Next, insert

the metal tips of the remaining pole into the grommets at

insert

correct

points C and F. Locate the Swift Clip

™

at the apex of the

tent, along the C-F axis, and attach it to the C-F pole.

Following the seam along the path of the pole, attach the

remaining Swift Clips to the pole.

Flysheet

Drape the fly over the tent and position the vestibule

zippers over the front and back door (Figure 3). Attach the

fly to the tent poles via Velcro

®

attachments located un-

derneath the fly at points L, M, N and O. At each pole

end (points A, B, C, D, E and F) there are ¾" side-release

“fly-clip” buckles. Clip these buckles into their corre-

sponding mates on the tent floor and pull the straps until

the fly is taut (Figure 4). Stake out the fly vestibule away

from the tent body at points G and H. We recommend

you stake out points I, J, and K for maximum ventilation.

The tent may be guyed out from points L, M, N and O

for maximum stability in high winds.

Ventilation

Besides staking and guying out all the points listed above,

optimal airflow through the tent itself can be obtained by

leaving part of the double-zippered vestibule open.

Vestibule

The vestibule can be pitched in a variety of configurations

to address different weather, storage, ventilation, or

wind conditions. The vestibule door may be folded in

half and attached to itself to form a half-door. The

entire door may be guyed out from points G and H to

form a large awning, or it may be folded in half to

form a small awning. Or, the vestibule door may be

rolled entirely out of the way, forming an unobstructed

yet protected entrance.
