grommets at points B and C. Next, hook the center H-clip to

the Quick Pitch Swivel Hub connector at point E (Figure 3).

Next, follow the tent seams along the A-D and B-C axis and

attach all of the Swift Clips

™

to their corresponding tent poles.

Fly Sheet

Drape the fly sheet over the tent and position the vestibule

doors over the tent doors. Make sure that the blue side-release

“fly clip” buckle strap matches with the corresponding blue

floor side-release buckle attachment. First, attach the fly sheet

to the tent poles with the Velcro

®

loops on the underside of the

fly at points F, G, H, and I (Figure 4). At points A, B, C, and

D there are ¾” side-release “fly clip” buckles. Clip these buck-

les into their corresponding mates on the tent floor and pull

the straps until the fly is semi-taut and evenly covering all the

mesh areas of the tent. Now, with the vestibules zipped shut,

pull out points J and K until the vestibules are semi-taut and

stake them down in that position. Now, slide the short brow

pole into its sleeve at point L (Figure 4) and insert the tip of

the brow pole in the grommet tab at that same point. Then,

pull the rest of the fly sheet straps so they are fully taut and

there is proper coverage of all exposed mesh areas of the tent.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable

living space inside your tent. One or both of the vestibule

doors can be rolled up and secured open for maximum venti-

lation depending on the weather. They can also be unzipped

from the top down which allows you to use the vestibule as a

vent when rain maybe a factor. Pitching your tent so that it is

oriented to take advantage of the wind direction will also go

a long way to providing a comfortable nights sleep no matter

what the weather.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we

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

wilderness adventure.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind to ensure

your sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris such as sharp

stones and sticks which might abrade or puncture the tent floor.

Also, choose an area that will drain well when it rains.

Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles

Unfurl the tent and lay it flat on the ground with the doors

unzipped. Next, carefully unfold the shock corded pole sections

and allow them to slip together. Do not let them snap together

as this could cause pole damage. (Figure 1) You will have one

main pole where all sections are connected by the Sierra Designs

Quick Pitch Swivel Hub with H-clip (Figure 2) and one short

brow pole. Each of the longer poles will have a pre-bent section

at the end for more interior space.

Stake out the Tent Floor

The Velox 3 is a completely freestanding tent and it is not neces-

sary to stake down the tent floor in order to pitch it. However,

we recommend that the tent be staked down at points A, B, C,

and D (Figure 3) for stability, especially in high winds.

Erect the Tent

Insert one of the metal tips of the two long poles into the grom-

mets at points A and D, then the tips of the other pole into the
