4. Once the roof is popped up, go to one of the
short (6 foot) sides of the shelter. Step on the
skirt, feet wide (Photo 4), grab the top corners on
both sides and pull straight up (Photo 5 & 6).
Once the wall is up, grasp the loop sewn onto the
eyelet in the center of the short side wall and pull
outward until the wall pops up (Photo 7).
Repeat this procedure for all the walls, going
around the shelter either clockwise or counter-
clockwise (Photo 8).
3. Stand on the skirt of the long side (8 ft side) of the
shelter, grasp the loop sewn onto the eyelet in the
center of the roof with one hand, and place your other
hand on the opposite side at the roof line. Pull upward
on the loop while pushing down on the roof line until
the roof section pops up. (Photo 3).
2. Open the shelter so that the gray top is facing upward.
Lay the shelter as flat on the ice as you can, making sure
that the tent is not twisted or overlapping any of the poles
(Photo 2). Do NOT force the shelter while unfolding.

5. Your shelter should be standing up completely (Photo 9) .
Anchor the shelter to the ice by using the provided ice
anchors and rope.
Screw two or more ice anchors into the ice several feet away from
the shelter using Clam’s Ice Anchor Installation Tool PN 8348 (not
included). Use the provided ropes to tie the hub eyelets to an
anchor, and the adjustment slides on the rope to achieve proper
tension. Next, screw two anchors through the windward corner
shelter grommets completely. This will help keep the shelter in
place. If more anchors are needed, order PN 102457.
