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.

Operator’s Manual

ESKIMO® WIDE1™ Inferno

¼-20 x ¾” bolt

hinge support strap

right hinge assembly

spacer plate

¼” washer

¼-20 nylock nut

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 left hinge assembly (11652) to the shelter sled
using the spacer plate (11631), (2) ¼-20 x 3/4” bolts, (2) ¼”
washers and (2) ¼-20 nylock nuts. Repeat this step on the
opposite side using the right hinge assembly (11653). SEE

FIGURE 1

2. Attach the (2) hinge support straps (11203) to both hinge
assemblies (11652/11653) using (4) ¼-20 x 3/4” bolts,

(3) ¼” washers, and (4) ¼-20 nylock nuts. 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. Attach the (2) seat rails (15033) using (2) support shims
(11230), (4) ¼-20 x 1” bolts, (8) ¼” washers, and (4) ¼-20 nylock

nuts. The seat rail closest to the front of the sled will use the
last slotted hole on the spacer plate (11631) that was installed
in Step 1. The remaing seat rail (15033) will require the (2)
support shims (11230) to keep the height between the two
seat rails consistent. SEE FIGURE 2
