stake loops on the tent points B & G (Figure 2). By attaching the blue

webbing strap on the rainfly to the blue webbing strap on the tent body

you are guaranteed a fast, proper rainfly set-up every time. At points N,

O, P, & M (Figure 4) on the inside of the fly you will find 5/8” side release

buckles. Attach these points to their mates on the tent body. At eight

perimeter points on the

fly are 3⁄4” LadderLoc fly

attachments (Figure 5).

These points correspond

to the ends of the poles,

points A-H. Before you

attach the LadderLoc you

will need to attach your

vestibule pole. Take the

longer of the two remain

-

ing poles and feed it

through the sleeve that is

provided on the outside

of the tent. The vesti

-

bule pole sleeve is located

above the vestibule win

-

dow on the outside of the

rainfly (A-B axis in Fig

-

ure 4). After you have

fed the pole through the

vestibule sleeve insert the

pole tips into the grom

-

mets at points A & B. Take the final curved vent pole and feed it through

the pole sleeve located at the apex of the tent fly between points Q & R.

Once the pole is fed through the sleeve insert the pole tips into the grom

-

mets at points Q & R. Now working your way around the perimeter of

the tent, hook the grommets at the ends of the adjust

-

ment straps over the pole tips at points A, B, G & H

and then tighten the adjustment straps. Working you

way around the tent again, follow the same procedure

for points C, D, E, & F. Now stake out the adjustable

vestibule straps located at points S, T, & U. Tighten

these to desired tautness. Guying out points M, N, O,

P, V, & W can increase strength and stability in high

winds as well as increase airflow between the tent body

and rainfly.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable living space inside

your tent and the Massak provides various methods to increase the ventilation

of the tent. There are two large roll down mesh panels on each side of the

tent that can be opened for increased ventilation. In addition to the mesh

panels on the tent body the rain fly has two vents that are located at points Q

& R (Figure 4) that can be opened from inside the tent for maximum ventila-

tion. In addition, the vestibule door panel can be rolled away for maximum

ventilation. Because the rainfly has 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 vestibules can be used to regulate ventilation.

Internal Guy System

Years ago, Sierra Designs was the first to introduce the revolutionary In

-

ternal Guy System. This system remains a very important feature in our

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 nor

-

mal conditions.

Installation: All attachments are made inside the tent. All that is needed

are 4 pieces of guy cord of 72” lengths or longer (line tighteners may be

used but are optional). Some of these items have been provided complimen

-

tary with your tent. You may also purchase a Sierra Designs Internal Guy

Kit at your local retailer. The internal loops that will be used in this sys

-

tem are the eight loops that are located in the corners of each stake points,

A-H, as well as 8 of the 12 internal loops located at points 1-8 (Figure 3).

Start by attaching one end of the cord through the webbing loop in the

floor at point A. Secure the other end of the cord at point 3 with a double

half hitch or a line tightener (Figure 7). Repeat this procedure for lines

between points B & 2. Repeat this pro

-

cedure for lines between points C & 8,

E & 1, G & 6, H & 7, F & 4, & D & 5.

The Internal Guy System will partially

obstruct the doorway. If you want to

stow the cord out of the way when enter

-

ing or exiting the tent, simply loosen

the cord and pass it through the loop in

the ceiling.

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

Unfold the tent and lay the floor flat on the ground with the door un

-

zipped. 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). You will have 6 poles

in total, 4 equal length poles and

shorter vestibule pole and the

shortest of the six is a curved

vent pole.

Stake Out the Floor

We recommend staking the floor prior to inserting the poles for greater

pitching ease. Although the Massak is a freestanding tent, we suggest that

you always stake out the floor for greater safety and stability, especially

in high winds. First stake each of the webbing loops at points G & H,

then stake out points E & F (Figure 2). Then move to the other side of

the tent, pull the webbing loops at points A & B until the tent floor is

squarely and semi-tautly positioned, and then stake them down. Finally,

stake the points C & D, again pulling the tent floor semi-taut.

Erect the Tent

Insert the tips of one of the straight poles into the grommets at points B

& E, and the tips of a second straight pole into the grommets at points D

& G (Figure 2). Pick up pole B – E and hook the Clip-Loc over the pole

at points I & J (Figure 3). Do not attach the bungee cord yet. Follow the

same procedure for pole D – G, attaching but not engaging the Clip-Locs

at points K & L.

Now attach the

Swift Clips along

the B – E & D

– G axis designat

-

ed by the orange

webbing, as well

as, the Clip-Locs

at points M &

N (do not attach

the bungee cord

yet). Now repeat

this process with

the two remain

-

ing long poles

inserting the

pole tips into the

grommets at points C & H & A & F. Pick up pole C – H and hook the

Clip-Loc over the pole at points L & J attaching the Swift Clips along this

axis as you go, the Swift Clips are designated with gray webbing. Fol

-

low the same procedure for pole A – F, attaching but not engaging the

Clip-Locs at points K & I. Now that all the straight poles have been at

-

tached to the tent body, you can engage the

Clip-Locs. Attach the bungee cord on the

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 firm

-

ness, then, slide the cord into the groove

on the backside of the clip to keep it taut (Figure

3).

Fly Sheet

Drape the fly over the tent and position the zippers over the tent doors and

so that the navy blue fly attachment is aligned with one of the navy blue
