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.

There are four hub pole assemblies attached to the tent—one at the corner of each

tent. On each hub, insert the short poles attached to the hub into their corresponding

holes in the hub. Lay these down at the corners of the tents, untwisting the attached

webbing. Untwisting the attached webbing. There are also 2 poles of equal length

and one shorter pre-bent vestibule pole. For these three poles, 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 inserted into the next

pole section (Figure 1).

Stake Out the Tent Floor

We recommend staking the floor prior to inserting the poles for greater pitching ease.

Although the Hercules Light AST is a totally free standing tent, we suggest that you

always stake the floor for greater stability, especially in high winds. First, stake each

of the webbing loops at points A and B (Figure 3). Then move to the front of the

tent, pulling the webbing loops at points C and D until the tent floor is squarely and

semi-tautly positioned, and then stake them down.

Erect the Tent

Start with one of the pre-bent poles. Insert one of the capped pole ends into the hub

attached to the stake loop at point A. Take care that both the webbing strap attached

to the hub and the stake loop are not twisted. Then, still working with the same hub,

insert the two pole tips on the ends of the short grommets at points E and F. Insert

the other end of the pre-bent pole into the hub attached to the stake loop at point D,

once again taking care that none of the straps are twisted. Next, insert the two pole

tips on the two shorter pole sections coming out of this hub into the grommets at I

and J. Repeat this process for the other pole/hub combination that runs from B to C.

HERCULES LIGHT AST

Your Sierra Designs HERCULES

LIGHT AST (Arc Support

Technology) tent is very easy

to pitch and maintain. Follow

these instructions to pitch your

tent quickly, safely and easily.

After the pole frame is erected, attach the clips to the

pre-bent poles starting from the bottom of the tent

and working your way up. Clip the Clip-Loc

™

at point

M around both poles. Then, wrap the bungee cord on

the Clip-Loc tightly around both poles, and slide the

cord into the groove on the backside of the clip, to

keep the cord taught (Figure 4).

Flysheet

You now have one remaining pre-bent pole. Place the tips of this pole in the

grommets attached to the clips at points 5 & 8 on the tent body (Figure 3). Next

drape the fly over the tent; making sure the

vestibule is over the vestibule

pole. To help

with a fast and

proper rainfly

set-up locate the

blue webbing

strap on the fly

with the blue

webbing strap on

the body. On the

underside of the fly there are two

Velcro attachments (points M & Q) and you

will want to wrap those around the poles. At points

1 through 4 on the inside of the fly the there are small side release buckles. Attach

these buckles to their mates, points 1-4, on the tent body. At points B, L, N, & F

there are

” LadderLocs with adjustable grommeted webbing straps. Slip the

grommets over the pole ends at these points (Figure 5).

Attach the

/

” side-release “Fly-Clip” buckles (Figure

6) at points R, C, E, & S to their corresponding buckles

on the tent body. Now working your way around the

tent a few times, tighten the adjustable straps until you

have achieved the desired taughgtness in the fly. Next

stake out points O & P away from the tent to improve

ventilation. Finally, stake out and tighten down the

vestibule loops at points A, G, & D.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable living space inside your tent.

The vestibule door panel can be rolled away for maximum ventilation. Because the

vestibule forms an awning over the door, you can often leave the door tied open in a

rainstorm, provided the door faces away from the wind. When the door in the rear of

the rainfly is left fully or partially open, it effectively improves flow-through

ventilation. Additionally, the zippers at the top of the vestibule and the back door can

be used to regulate ventilation.

Internal Guy System

Sierra Designs was the first to introduce the revolutionary Internal Guy System. This

system remains a very important feature in our Convertible and 4-Season tents. When

installed, this simple system will greatly increase the strength of your tent with the

weight of a few guy cords. This system is very useful in extreme weather conditions,

but is not necessary under normal conditions. Installation: All attachments are made

inside the tent. All that is needed are 4 pieces of guy cord of 100" lengths or longer,

(line tighteners may be used but are optional). Some guy cords and line tighteners are

provided with your tent, however, you can also purchase the “Internal Guy System”

accessory, which uses Swift Clips to eliminate the need to tie knots. There are nine

webbing loops sewn to the interior of the tent body: one in each corner of the floor at

points A, B, C, & D and four on the tent ceiling at points 5, 6, 7, & 8 (Figure 3). For

added strength along the sides of the tent, run the guy cords between points on the

tents as follows: A to 6, B to 5, C to 7, and D to 8. For added strength along the front

and rear of the tent, run the guy lines A to 8, b to 7, C to 5, and D to 6 (in this

configuration, the Internal Guy System will partially obstruct the door way). With

each guy cord, tie one end to the webbing loop in the ceiling. Secure the other end to

floor webbing loop with a double half-hitch or a line tightener.

Please note that 9 tent stakes and 4 guy cords were provided with this tent as a courtesy. If you

choose to use more than this when pitching your tent, additional stakes may be purchased at the

store where you originally purchased your tent.
