20. Secure the edge trim in place using the (15) #6 x 3/8” sheet

metal screws provided. A cordless drill and Phillips head bit is

recommended for this step, but is not necessary. SEE FIGURE

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 affect the performance of your shelter.

ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION

21. Locate the included 8 foot tow rope that was in the hardware

bag. To install the tow rope locate the two holes in the front

of the sled and push each end of the rope through a hole. Tie

a knot at each end of the rope to keep the rope from pulling

through the holes. This tow rope is designed for manual pull-

ing by hand only. DO NOT tow behind a motorized vehicle

with rope. For high-speed towing, you should purchase the

Eskimo Universal Tow Hitch accessory (11608).

SET-UP AND TAKE-DOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Set-Up: From the outside or inside of the shelter depending

on your preference, start with the lower frame support and

fully extend until it snaps into place. As you extend each frame

support to the “in use” position make sure they snap into place.

Lastly secure all frame supports by attaching the appropriate

spreader poles as directed earlier in this manual.
Note: By detaching the back spreader pole and the front side

spreaders, you can flip the shelter back halfway into a “wind-

break” position on nice days.

Take-Down: Close all window covers, vents covers and zip door

shut. Remove all spreader poles and place in the bottom of the

sled. Starting with the rear frame support collapse each frame

support working toward the front of the shelter and lower frame

support. Flip all frame poles back. Use caution when flipping

poles back to make sure no parts of the skin get pinched or torn.

Fold excess skin inside of sled when complete.
Note: Use extreme caution so you don’t rip or tear any portion

of the skin, especially around the hinges or any pinch point

areas.
Note: An Eskimo Travel Cover (69171) may be purchased to

protect your shelter while transporting to and from the lake.

LONG-TERM STORAGE

•

Always make sure your ice shelter is completely dry before

storing for long periods of time. Storing your ice shelter

when damp or wet may cause mold and mildew damage.

•

Remove skin from ice shelter sled and poles.

• Clean all salt, moisture and debris from your shelter skin,

sled and poes. Wipe down poles with a wet rag.

Note: Lubricate the slide poles with a silicon spray at

least seasonally. Do not use oil or grease as a lubricant.
Note: Before attaching skin for use, spray silicon spray

inside of poles for ease of sliding.

• Store skin, poles an sled in a cool, dry place away from

rodents.
