• Do not use open flame heaters in your ice shelter.
Open vents for cross ventilation.
• Ice Armor fabric will melt when contact is made with

click on your shelter model, and watch the set-up video provided. Then practice setting
up and taking down at home in the comfort of a heated area such as a garage or basement. Repeat
several times until comfortable. This will make your on-ice set-up much easier.
NO TOOLS ARE NEEDED FOR SET-UP OF

Injury or death may result from fire if tent fabric is
exposed to open flame.
Tentfabric is not fireproof. Fabric will burn with
extended exposure to open flame. Do not bur n
f
open flame products inside tent. Tent fabric is
treated with fire retardant. Application of any fo -
eign substance may render the flame retardant
properties ineffective.
Night time: exterior reflectors must be visible to

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.

sewn onto the eyelet in the center of the wall until all
sides are popped out-5X, as this is a 5 sided shelter.

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
6. Your shelter should be standing up completely (Photo6).
Anchor the shelter to the ice by using ice anchors and
straps.
Screw ice anchors into the ice near the corners of the
shelter using Clam’s Ice Anchor Installation Tool PN
108348 (not included). Feed the adjustable strap grommet
onto the ice anchor and cinch the strap tight (Photo 7).
Repeat for each anchor drilled into the ice. In windy
condition, screw an anchor outside the shelter several feet
away from the hub on the windward side and attach a
strap found in the pockets under each side panel hub from
the hub eye bolt to the remote anchor. Adjust strap so it is
snug between hub and anchor. This will help keep the
shelter in place and the walls from collapsing. If more
anchors are needed, order PN 108064 (pack of two) via
www.clamcorp.com.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I set-up my hubshelter?
A: Go to www.clamcorp.comto watch an instructional video on the proper & simplest way to set-up and take-down a
hub style shelter.
Q: I can see pin holes in myfabric:
A: There are a few explanations as to why those pin holes exist.
 Simplythe color and/or black-out coatingbeingworn off the fabric due exposure in the elements and wear
due to friction.
 The fabric used is a woven material and these pin holesare parts of the thread that the coating did not attach
to. Either waythis has no effect on the function of the fabric and is simplyan appearance issue.
Q: There are cracks on the inside finish of thefabric:
A: This is normal, when you fold up your shelter, lines develop in the fabric. The inside coating may even appear to be
peeling. This is normal and will not affect the overall function of the ice house.
Q: Will my Fish House leakbecause Ican see pin holes in the fabric?
A: Quite the opposite, as you heat your house and the snow and ice begin to melt, the vapors can better escape the
shelter through an uncoatedfabric. Whenit snows or rains, the water molecules are larger than the vapor molecules
and cannot pass through the fabric and into thehouse.
Q: Are patch kits available for my Fish Trap and Clamshelter?
A: Patch kits are available theycan be purchased online www.clamcorp.comunder “Parts/Info”
Q: How do Iapplythe patch material?
A: When applyinga patch it works best to spray some adhesive (we recommend using 3M #77 or 3M #90 spray
adhesive) on to both surfaces; the part of the tent where the patch is goingto be applied and the patch itself. Wait
until the adhesive begins to dry and becomes tacky, then place the patch on the tent, and they will stick together.
Q: Is there anythingcan be put on outside of the tent to prevent water fromcomingthrough, when we are usingit? A:
Customers have been known to spray or apply water repellant on the outside of the shelter that you would use for
camping tents or boots.(Camp Dry would be an example of this type of product). These products will not damage
your tent in anyway.
Q: What will help keep mice or rodents from eating myClamHub shelter?
A: Some of our customers have had success with the following ways to keep miceout.
 Keep your tent in a sealed plastic tote with DRYER SHEETS and or MOTH BALLS
Q: The zipper on my tent freezes up and or sticks; is there anything I can use to help prevent this fromhappening?
A: Yes, there are a couple of zipper lubricants out there that our customers and pro staff have had good luckwith.
 Zipper Lube -A gel that you can applyjust by squeezingit onto the zipper and movingthe zipper back
and forth. This brand can be found in the campingsection of most sporting goods store.
 Silicone spray may also be used aswell.
Q: Wouldit be best to completely dry my shelter out everytime it gets used?
A: It is recommended to dry your tent out completelyafter each use, if not dried completelymoisture left in the house
may cause damage to your tent.
Q: How do I wash my sheltertent?
A: You can use a bleach and water solution (10 parts water to 1 part bleach) to get rid of themildew smell. Ifyou want
to wash the tent you can use a standard soap to wash it.
