ASSEmBly INSTRuCTIONS
Tools Needed: (2) 7/16” wrenches & (1) 3/8” wrench.
ASSEMBLY NOTE: This ice shelter should be assembled in
a garage or basement setting due to the time and length of
assembly. Identify and familiarize yourself with all parts and
hardware before assembly. Allow 1-3 hours for assembly.
ASSEMBLY NOTE: The use of a cordless drill with socket will
make assembly of your ice shelter much quicker. Be sure to
set the drill speed low so you do not over tighten any nut and
bolt combinations.
ASSEMBLY NOTE: If a High-Speed Tracking Kit will be pur-
chased for use on this ice shelter, it should be mounted to the
sled before assembly of the ice shelter for convenience.
