WARNING
WARNING INDICATES A HAZARD WHICH, IF NOT
AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURYTO PERSONNEL AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION
CAUTION INDICATES YOUR EQUIPMENT CAN BE
DAMAGED IF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THAT
FOLLOW THIS SIGNAL WORD ARE NOT OBEYED.
IMPORTANT
INDICATES HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR PROPER
ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, OR MAINTENANCE OF
YOUR EQUIPMENT.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This shelter is made with ame resistant fabric, however
it is not reproof. 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 may 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 INYOUR ICE SHELTER.
WARNING: KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY
FROM THIS TENT FABRIC. THIS TENT IS MADE WITH FLAME
RESISTANT FABRIC. 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
HIGH WIND CONDITIONS.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS NEEDED:
• (2) 7/16" wrenches and/or socket driver
• Cordless drill with #1 Philips head bit
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 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.

All spreader poles should be adjusted with hook and
loop skin attachments now in place. Each adjustable
spreader pole should keep poles in desired location
as shown in Figure 9. Make any adjustments needed
to t the skin. There should be equal skin tension
throughout, and no spreader poles creating more
tension than needed.
11
FIGURE 10
10 (A) With all spreader poles in place, begin working the
#38585 skin assembly over the aluminum frame work.
(B) There are hook-and-loop connections sewn on
the inside of the skin to attach/locate each aluminum
frame assembly. Secure each connection as snug as
possible. This will determine how tight the skin will
be once attached to the #38948 sled.
#38585
(A) Start by extending the (36625/38584/36626)
assembly.
(B) Next extend the (36916/38584/36916) assembly,
and attach the (2) #36628 front spreader poles to
the extended pole assembly and the bottom pole
assembly (spreader poles should be placed as far to
each corner as possible without being in the radius).
(C) Next push the #36642 assemblies up until there
is a click, setting them in the “up” position. Add the
#27729 spreader pole and appropriately adjust the
length to t while maintaining the vertical position of
the (36625/38584/36626) pole assembly.
(D) Finally add the #26544 spreader pole as shown.

Secure the edge trim to the back of the #38948 sled using
the included #6 X ½ IN Philips drive screws.
Start with a screw center of sled back, then one at each
end corner, then split the dierence between the corners
and middle. Next, place screws at the corner on each side,
and one at each end of the edge trim. Finally, split the
dierence between corner and end on the side, and place
remaining screws equally spaced between existing screws
on the back. See Figure 12.
NOTE: Make sure the skin is tight and even before installing
the edge trim screws. It will be easier to make adjustments
before all the screws have been installed.

(A) Shorten the front (#36628) spreader poles by 1
inch, still leaving them attached. Also shorten the back
(#27730) spreader pole by 1 inch.This will ensure there is
appropriate tension on the skin while in use, without the
need for spreader poles. The skin and frame should be self-
standing without spreaders once the edge trim is attached.
(B) Locate the 8'10" rubber edge trim included in the parts
box. Find the center of the length of edge trim. This will be
the starting point during the assembly of the edge trim to
the skin.
(C) Move to the rear of the shelter and locate the center of
the #38948 sled. This will be the point where the edge trim
will be attached rst.
(D) Pull down on the skin at the center-back of the skin,
being sure to apply tension below the point of attachment.
While maintaining tension, push the edge trim onto the
sled lip and begin working it around the sled. Maintain
tension in front of the edge trim being pushed on, as this
will keep the skin tight and free of wrinkles.
12
ASSEMBLY TIPS FOR STEPS 12 & 13:
• It is recommended to secure the entire back of the skin before
working the edge trim around the corners of each sled. This
will keep the skin even and prevent any more or less fabric
being pulled from one side.
• The edge trim attachment can be re-done until satisfactory
results are achieved. This is recommended, as it will increase
the performance of the shelter.
• Once the edge trim is satisfactory, remove all spreader poles and
ensure the skin is self-supporting correctly, before permanently
xing the edge trim with screws.
• We recommend the use of a cordless drill during STEP 13.
The rubberized edge trim has a metal core to provide
additional structure, but is also sometimes dicult to
screw through. It is important to place screws higher on
the width of the edge trim to make sure full contact is made
with the sled.
NOTE:
Follow numbered
screw attachment
locations for
Step 13.
