- Set-Up Instructions (cont.)-
▪From outside the unit, unfold the Flexible
Rods into a straightened position.
▪Through either doorway, reach into the Tent
and find a Rod Pocket located on either
corner of the Hoop Tube coming from the
opposite side of the unit. Going through the
doorway, slide one end of a Flexible Rod into
this Rod Pocket, using the Flexible Rod to
push the Hoop Tube into its vertical position.
Use one hand to hold it steady and the other
to rotate the other Hoop Tube into its vertical
position, before inserting the other end of the
Flexible Rod into its corner Rod Pocket
located diagonally across the unit. With the
Flexible Rod now bowed downward, secure
the center to the Velcro located in the center
Roof Panel of the Tent.
▪Locate the other Flexible Rod and insert its
ends into the remaining Rod Pockets, then
resecure the Roof Panel Velcro to include this
Flexible Rod also.
▪At the crossing location of the Flexible Rods,
use your fingers to push the Rods upwards,
reversing the bow direction and tightening the
surrounding Tent.
FETY INSTRUCTIONS - Take-Down Instructions -
▪Remove the Flexible Rods, fold them up, and
place them both onto the same floor half.
▪One Hoop Tube at a time, use your fingers to
disengage the Spring Buttons and collapse
each Hoop Tube before rotating them down
onto their respective floors.
▪Go around the unit and gather the Tent
material onto the floor, so that when folded,
all will be protected between folded floors.
▪Fold the empty floor half onto the floor half
containing the folded Flexible Rods. Use the
provided Latch Clips to secure the unit
together by placing them on the outside
edges. The Eyelets of the Latch Clips may be
used as an anchor point for roping down gear
on top of the unit while pulling to your fishing
destination.
Notice!! - The Tow Rope of this unit is intended for walking use only. Any damage incurred
from pulling behind a motorized vehicle is not covered under warranty.

- 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.
