Erect the Tent

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

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

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

mets at points B & F (Figure 5). Move to the other side of the

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

at points A & E. Starting at Point G clip all of the Sierra Designs

RCT Swift Clips and Clip Locs (do not attach the bungee yet) to

the poles along the A – F & B – E axis. Next take the remaining

pole and feed through external pole sleeve that runs along the H

– I axis. Once the pole is fed through the pole sleeve insert the

pole tips into the grommets provided at points C & D (Figure

5). Now attach the bungee to the two Clip Locs by wrapping the

bungee in the direction crossing the open gate of the clip. Wrap

the cord around the pole intersection 2 to 4 times, depending on

desired firmness, then, slide the cord into the groove on the back-

side of the clip to keep it taught (Figure 6).

Fly Sheet

The flysheet is already attached to the tent so all you need to

do is attach the ¾” LadderLoc fly attachments (Figure 4), to

their corresponding pole tips. At each pole end, points A-F,

you will find the fly attachments. Working your way around

the perimeter of the tent, hook the grommets at the end of the

adjustment straps over the pole tips at points A-F. Now pull

out point L & Q on the back vestibule and stake to the ground.

Moving to the front of the tent pull out points J & K until the

vestibule is semi-taut and stake to the ground. The final step is

to adjust the fly attachments to the desired tautness. You can

guy out points H, I, M, N, O, & P for increased stability and

ventilation.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable living

space inside your tent. The Tengu 3 has a large front vestibule

that can be opened from the top to allow for air to enter the in-

ner tent. The back vestibule has a built in vent, in addition to

having the ability to unzip from the top down allows for better

venting. Along with the above venting methods the rainfly can

be short sheeted for maximum cross flow ventilation. To do this

the fly attachment will need to be undone. The next step is to

roll up the bottom section of the rainfly and use the clips pro-

vided, points H, I, O, & P. By doing this it will expose the lower

section of mesh on the inner tent.

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 flat on the ground so that the two

toned blue rainfly is facing up. You will notice that the inner

tent is already attached to the rainfly, which will make your

initial set-up quick and easy. Now carefully unfold the shock

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

allow them to snap together: This can lead to serious pole dam-

age. Make certain that the insert of each pole section is fully

inserted into the next section (Figure 1). There are two poles

for the Tengu, one main pole that is connected by the Sierra

Designs Quick Pitch Swivel Hub (Figure 2 & 3), and the sec-

ond pole will be used for the vestibule.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

Although the Tengu 3 is a completely freestanding tent, we

suggest that you always stake out the tent floor for greater

safety and stability, especially in high winds. You will notice

that at each stake loop there is also a ¾” LadderLoc fly attach-

ment, do not use these until the tent is fully erected (Figure 4).

First stake down the webbing loops at points A & E (Figure 5).

Then move to the other side of the tent and pull the webbing

loops at points B & F until the floor is square and semi taught,

and then stake them down.
