IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This shelter is made with ame resistant fabric which meets
CPAI-84 specications. 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 ineective.
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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Tools needed – (2) 7/16” wrenches, a Phillips head screwdriver,
rubber mallet (optional), and a cordless drill (optional).
Operator's Manual
ESKIMO® QuickFlip™ 1
¼-20 X 3/4” bolt
hinge
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 on low so you do not over tighten any nut
and bolt combination.
Assembly Note: If a tracking kit is purchased with the
shelter it should be mounted to the sled before assembly
of the ice shelter for convenience.
Important Assembly Tip: Do NOT fully tighten any nut and
bolt combination until instructed in later notes. This will
help hole alignment of all parts.
1. Attach the Hinge (15062) to the upper lip of the tub using (2)
¼-20 X 3/4” bolts, (4) ¼” washers and (2) ¼-20 nylock nuts.
Repeat this step on the opposite side. SEE FIGURE 1
2. Attach the (1) hinge support brace (11203) to the hinge(15062)
using (2) ¼-20 x 3/4” bolts, (4) ¼” washers, and (2) ¼-20 nylock
nuts. Repeat this step on the opposite side. SEE FIGURE 1
Note: If the hole alignment is o or looks too far apart,
rotate the hinge support brace and try again. This part will
only bolt on one way.

3. Tighten all hardware used to complete this portion of
assembly instructions.
4. Locate the (8) pole caps (15295) from the parts bag. Using
(6) of the pole caps, slide one pole cap on to each end of (3)
frame support poles (15017). The holes in the frame support
poles must line up with the holes in the pole caps. SEE
FIGURE 2
Note: The (2) additional red pole caps will be used for a later
step. A rubber mallet may be helpful for this step.
5. Starting with the hole #1 on each of the (2) hinges (15062),
attach the (3) frame support poles (15017) from the previous
step, to the left and right hinges using (2) ¼-20 x 2-1/4” bolts,
and (2) ¼-20 nylock nuts. Repeat this step for hole #2 and #3
on each of the hinges. SEE FIGURE 3

SHELTER SKIN INSTALLATION
6. Unfold the skin and locate the Eskimo® logo near the zippered
door, which is in the front of the sled. With the outer part of
the shelter skin lying facing down, locate the (3) pole sleeves
on the bottom front, right side, and left side of the shelter skin.
Slide the remaining frame support pole (15017) through the
(3) pole sleeves. SEE FIGURE 4
Operator's Manual
ESKIMO® QuickFlip™ 1
fabric sleeve
7. Slide the remaining (2) pole caps (15295) onto the ends of
the frame support pole (15017) from the previous step.
8. Attach the frame support pole (15017) with the attached pole
caps (15295), from the previous step, into slot #4 on each of
the (2) hinges (15062). Use (2) ¼-20 x 2-1/4” bolts, and (2) ¼-20
nylock nuts to complete this step. REFER BACK TO FIGURE 4
9. It is now time to 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. SEE FIGURE 5
Note: Attaching the skin can be a difficult task and is
easiest with two people to ensure proper installation
and desired t.
10. 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. There will be four hook and loop retainers
per frame support.
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.
12. 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 5
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.
13. Secure the edge trim in place using the (12) #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
6
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 aect the performance of your shelter.

ADDITIONAL INSTALLATION
14. 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 pulling 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).
WIND BREAK POSITION
This shelter is equipped with a locking system that positions
the shelter to be used as a wind break on colder days. To
engage, ip the sheler back halfway leaving the pole at the bottom slot in the hinge. SEE FIGURE 7
Note: To disengage the wind break position, the front pole
must be lifted to the top of the hinge slot before it can fold at
to the sled.
