- Step Nine -
To “set” the tent, grasp the tent material at the rear of the shelter and pull it downward. Observe the
front fishing area of the tent lifting accordingly as you pull. When the V-Channel molding is correctly
installed, the front floor hoop pole will lightly touch the floor.
Start by finding the middle of the V-Channel molding and set it in place on the floor. From behind the
unit, pull the midpoint of the tent downward and fold the tent material under the base lip. Press the
middle of the V-channel molding over the tent material and base lip. Continue pressing outward in both
directions until you have secured about 2 or 3 feet of the V-Channel molding onto the base.
Having temporarily secured the tent to the base, walk around the shelter. Re-adjust the molding until you
have verified the proper front floor hoop pole position (barely touching the floor in front) and also that
the tent sides and corners are properly proportioned.
Continue applying the molding around the shelter, one direction from center and then the other, pulling
the material as you go so that surface is relatively wrinkle-free and snug. Use a side-cutters to trim the
ends of the molding approximately eight (8) inches behind the centerline seam of the shelter on both
sides.
Secure the molding with the #6 phillips screws. Evenly space them about every six to ten inches, and
also put a screw in the center of both corners. Since there aren’t any predrilled holes, it's advisable to
use a powered driver for this operation.

IMPORTANT: Trim the edge
of the molding so it ends
approximately 8 inches behind
the centerline seam on both sides
of the shelter.

- Half Mast System -
Pins for the half mast system are stored in
the canopy brackets.
To utilize the shelter at half mast, first
fully extend all poles.
Place the pins in the front slot where the
hoop poles connect. Make sure pins are
at the top of the slot.
The front hoop poles will rest on pins to
achieve half mast position.

- Tips for Use -
Folding and transporting your Cabela’s/Ice Team portable fish house is easy:
▪
Push the RPS push buttons and retract each hoop, starting with the two floor hoops and working
towards the middle. Rotate all retracted hoops to the resting position. Tuck the tent into the base and
between the hoops so that no material is left hanging on the ground for transport.
▪
Cover with the Travel Cover* (Clam PN 8073-an optional but recommended accessory to help prolong
the life of the unit).
▪
We recommend the optional Runner Kit* (Clam PN 8446) be mounted to the base of your shelter (NOTE:
Pulling behind an ATV or snowmobile may result in premature wear of the base).
Make sure your ice shelter is completely dried out before storing for long periods of time. Store your ice
shelter in a cool, dry place. Keep away from rodents.

- Safety Instructions -
Please fully understand and follow all safety instructions as outlined. Failure to do so could result in
severe injury or death.
▪
Do not use open flame heaters in your ice shelter. Injury or death may result from fire if tent fabric is
exposed to open flame. The tent is not fireproof, but the fabric is treated with a fire retardant that meets
CPAI-84 specifications. Application of any foreign substance may render the flame retardant properties
ineffective. Ice Armor fabric will melt when contact is made with hot surfaces (i.e., heaters).
▪
Death from asphyxiation may result from use of oxygen depleting heaters. Open all vents for fresh air
ventilation.
▪
Never leave shelter unattended when set up.
▪
Due to the increase in traffic (snowmobiles, autos, etc.) on area lakes, ice fishing can be hazardous at
night. If you choose to fish at night or in poor visibility conditions, be sure to take precautions with
lights or reflectors to show drivers your whereabouts. Night time: exterior reflectors must be visible to
reduce risk of collisions.
