IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This shelter is made with ame resistant fabric which meets
CPAI-84 specications. It is not re proof. The fabric will burn if
left in continuous contact with any ame source.The application
of any foreign substance to the shelter fabric may render the
ame resistant properties ineective.
Fuel-based heat sources burn oxygen and emit carbon monoxide
(an odorless, colorless, poison gas). Breathing carbon monoxide
can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, dizziness, confusion
and eventually death. Use caution with heaters. Be sure you
have adequate fresh ventilation, including open windows and
doors. All vents must be opened when using fuel-based heaters
in your shelter.
• Do not use candles, matches or open ames of any kind in
or near an ice shelter.
• Do not cook inside the shelter.
• Exercise extreme caution when using fuel-powered
lanterns or heaters inside a tent. Use battery-operated
lanterns whenever possible.
• Do not refuel lamps, heaters or stoves inside a tent.
• If you are shing and falling asleep intermittently, turn o
all lanterns and heaters.
• Do not smoke in shelter.
• Do not store ammable liquids inside of the shelter .
WARNING
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL ASSEMBLY,
SAFETY, SETUP & USE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME HEATERS IN YOUR ICE
SHELTER.
WARNING: KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY
FROM THIS TENT FABRIC. THIS TENT IS MADE WITH
FABRIC THAT MEETS CPAI84 SPECIFICATIONS FOR
FLAME RESISTANCE. IT IS NOT FIRE PROOF. THE FABRIC
WILL BURN IF LEFT IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH ANY
FLAME SOURCE.
DUE TO TRAFFIC ON LAKES, ICE FISHING CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AT NIGHT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FISH AT
NIGHT OR IN CONDITIONS WITH POOR VISIBILITY, BE
SURE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS.
NEVER LEAVE THE ICE SHELTER UNATTENDED.
SECURELY ANCHOR THE ICE SHELTER TO THE ICE IN

TOOLS NEEDED:
• (2) 7/16" wrenches and/or socket driver
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Rubber mallet (optional)
• Cordless drill (optional)
IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY TIP
DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN ANY NUT AND BOLT COMBINATION
UNTIL INSTRUCTED IN LATER NOTES. THIS WILL HELP WITH HOLE
ALIGNMENT FOR ALL PARTS.
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
• This ice shelter should be assembled in an indoor setting due to the
time and length of assembly. Identify and familiarize yourself with all
parts and hardware before assembly. Allow 1-2 hours for assembly.
• The use of a cordless drill with socket will make assembly of your ice
shelter much quicker. Be sure to set the drill speed on low so you do
not over tighten any nut and bolt combination.
• If a tracking kit is purchased with the shelter it should be mounted to
the sled before assembly of the ice shelter for convenience.

Locate the front extension assembly
(#27539), and skin (#15507). Unfold the
skin, and make sure the extension assembly is
in the“travel”position. Locate the metal loops
on the front of the shelter, and slide them
onto the extension assembly.
#27539
11
Drape the shelter skin over the top of the
frame. Start by lifting the rear of the shelter
skin over the top of the front frame support.
Make sure that you are evenly working the
shelter skin over the supports. Continue
working the shelter skin over the rest of the
frame supports until the shelter skin lies
evenly over the entire shelter.
NOTE: Attaching the skin can be a dicult task
and is easiest with two people to ensure proper
installation and desired t.
13 14 Once the shelter skin is on the frame, move to
the inside of the shelter and attach the hook
and loop retainers to the frame supports.
FIGURE 12
Attach the extension arms (#28462) to the
front extension assembly (#27539) with (2)
1-1/2 inch bolts, (2) plastic washers, and (2)
bolts as shown in FIGURE 12.

TRAVEL POSITION
FIGURE 11
After attaching all of the hook and loop
retainers you are ready to install the edge trim
to the rear of the shelter. Move to the outside
of the shelter and start by identifying the edge
trim piece (#69654) from the parts box. Locate
the center of the edge trim piece by folding it
in half. Line up the center of the edge trim to
the best of your ability with the center of the
rear of the shelter.

Pull the skin taut and push the edge trim over
lip of the sled with the shelter skin between the
two. It is important to keep the skin taut and
work the edge trim evenly around both sides
of the shelter until all edge trim is in place. SEE
FIGURE 13.
NOTE: When pulling the shelter skin tight, DO NOT lift
the lower frame support o the ground. Make sure all
spreader poles are properly installed before the edge
trim is attached to ensure a proper t. Using a rubber
mallet may be helpful while attaching the edge trim
to the sled lip.
16 Secure the edge trim in place using the
(13) #6 x 3/8 inch sheet metal screws
provided. A cordless drill and Phillips head
bit is recommended for this step, but is not
necessary. SEE FIGURE 14.
NOTE: Screws should be spaced evenly apart. This
step does mean you will put very small holes in your
shelter skin to keep the edge trim and skin securely
attached to the sled lip. This will in no way aect the
performance of your shelter.
