semitaught and stake them down. Staking out points C and

D is recommended in especially high winds.

Erect the Tent

The pole should be laid out parallel to the length of the

tent, A-E axis. Rotate the poles so that the tips of the poles

are separated (Figure 3). Insert the tips of the poles into

the grommets at points E and F. Move to the other side of

the tent and grab each pole end and insert the tips into the

grommets at points A and B. Starting at Point G clip all of

the swift clips to the poles along the A – F and B – E axis

Fly Sheet

At points E, F, J, and I are side-release “fly clip” buckles

(Figure 6). Drape the fly sheet over the tent so the orange

“fly clip” attachment on the rainfly at point J is aligned with

the orange “fly clip” attachment at point P on the tent body.

By clipping the orange webbing strap on the rainfly to the

orange webbing strap on the body, you are guaranteed a fast,

proper, rainfly setup every time. Attach the fly to the tent

poles via Velcro

®

located at points I, J, L, and M. Clip the

remaining “fly clip” buckles at points E, F, and I and pull

the straps at points E and F until the fly is taught (Figure 5).

Now pull point H out until the rainfly is taught and stake

to the ground. Do the same with point K. You can use a guy

line to guy out the fly at points L, M, and N for increased

stability and ventilation.

The long Velcro straps located at points I and J are to al-

low you to roll back your rainfly by unclipping points E and

F to give you maximum ventilation and night sky viewing.

Ventilation

With the rainfly on, several things can be done to increase

airflow. The best airflow through the tent is obtained by

pitching the tent with points A and B into the wind, with

points L, M, and N guyed out. (In heavy winds it is suggest-

ed to pitch tent with points E and F facing into the wind).

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 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 section is fully in-

serted into the next pole section (Figure 1). You will have one

main pole where all sections are connected by the Sierra De-

signs Quick Pitch Swivel Hub w/ H-clip (Figure 2).

Stake out the Tent Floor

Although the Sirius 3 is a completely freestanding tent, we

suggest that you always stake out the floor for greater safety

and stability, especially in high winds. First stake down

the webbing loops at the back of the tent at points E and F

(Figure 4). Then move to the front of the tent and pull the

webbing loops at points A and B until the floor is square and
