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.
• Extinguish or turn o all lanterns and heaters before going
to sleep.
• Do not smoke in shelter.
• Do not store ammable liquids inside of the shelter .

SAFETY, SETUP & USE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS

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 or tow hitch is purchased with the shelter, it
should be mounted to the sled before assembly of the ice shelter
for convenience.
