IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This shelter is made with flame resistant fabric which meets
CPAI-84 specifications. It is not fire proof. The fabric will burn if
left in continuous contact with any flame source. The application
of any foreign substance to the shelter fabric may render the
flame resistant properties ineffective.
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.
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL ASSEMBLY,
SAFETY, SETUP & USE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME HEATERS IN YOUR ICE
SHELTER.
WARNING: KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY
FROM THIS TENT FABRIC. THIS TENT IS MADE WITH
FABRIC THAT MEETS CPAI84 SPECIFICATIONS FOR
FLAME RESISTANCE. IT IS NOT FIRE PROOF. THE FABRIC
WILL BURN IF LEFT IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH ANY
FLAME SOURCE.
DUE TO TRAFFIC ON LAKES, ICE FISHING CAN BE
HAZARDOUS AT NIGHT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FISH AT
NIGHT OR IN CONDITIONS WITH POOR VISIBILITY, BE
SURE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS.
NEVER LEAVE THE ICE SHELTER UNATTENDED.
SECURELY ANCHOR THE ICE SHELTER TO THE ICE IN
HIGH WIND CONDITIONS.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Tools needed – (2) 7/16” wrenches, a Phillips head screwdriver,
rubber mallet (optional), and a cordless drill (optional).
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.

SHELTER FRAME/SKIN INSTALLATION
14. Insert the 3 upright poles from each hinge (68141/68142) into
the (3) Top Cross Braces (68131). Push the snap button inward
to allow the Top Cross Brace to slide over the upright hinge
poles. Adjust the Top Cross Braces on the hinge to be in the
transport position (lowest collapsed height). SEE FIGURE 9
15. 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 Lower Cross Brace (68129) through the (3) pole
sleeves. SEE FIGURE 10
16. Insert a hinge “J-Pole” from each hinge (68141/68142) into
the assembled lower frame (68129) with the skin attached to
the frame. Push snap button inward to allow the Lower Cross
Brace to slide over the (J-Poles) attached to the hinges. SEE
FIGURE 10
17. Attach the door spreader pole assembly (15702) using a ¼-20
x 3/4” bolt and ¼-20 nylock nut. To attach the spreader poles
the hardware should all be ¼-20 x 3/4” bolts and ¼-20 nylock
nuts. This hardware is already attached to the assembly and
will need to be removed for proper installation. Push the
pole clamp (15705) onto the front upper cross brace and
reassemble (15702), the reassembly will fasten the door
spreader pole to the front upper cross brace. After assembly
fully extend the door spreader pole and clip to the lower
cross brace. The front upper cross brace should now be selfsupporting. SEE FIGURE 11
18. To attach the rear spreader (15703) pole follow the assembly
instructions above for the previous spreader pole attachment.
Once the rear pole assembly is attached to the rear upper
cross brace insert the plastic stud into the hole centered on
the rear lip of the sled. This assembly will make the rear upper
cross pole self-supporting. SEE FIGURE 12

21. In the parts box there is a bag of pole retention clips. These
clips will be used in the “stow and go” position of the spreader
poles. The installation of the pole retention clips involves (2)
clip retainers (15708), (1) #10-24 nylock nut, (1) #10-24 x ½”
bolt. Tighten hardware and repeat installation until all pole
retention clips are properly attached. SEE FIGURE 15 & 16
22. With all of the frame and spreader poles in the “in use” position
it is now time to drape the shelter skin over 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.
Note: Attaching the skin can be a difficult task and is
easiest with two people to ensure proper installation
and desired t.
23. 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 three hook and loop retainers
per frame support.
24. 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 (69306) 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. SEE FIGURE 17 (see next page)

25. Pull the skin taught and push the edge trim over the lip of the
sled with the shelter skin between the two. It is important to
keep the skin taught and work the edge trim evenly around
both sides of the shelter until all edge trim is in place. SEE
FIGURE 18 (see next page)
Note: When pulling the shelter skin tight, DO NOT lift the
#10-24 X ½” bolt
lower frame support o the ground. Make sure all spreader
poles were properly installed before the edge trim was
FIGURE 15
attached to ensure a proper t. Using a rubber mallet may
be helpful while attaching the edge trim to the sled lip.
26. Secure the edge trim in place using the #6 x 3/8” sheet metal
pole retention clip
screws provided. A cordless drill and Phillips head bit is
recommended for this step, but is not necessary. SEE FIGURE
18 (see next page)
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).

GEAR NET
Included with you Eskimo FlipMo™2 Inferno is a gear net to keep you
organized on and o the ice.
15.To install the gear net (15596) to the sled attach the hook and
loop retainers to the rear seat rail (14818). After attaching the
gear net to the seat rails, locate the 24 inch piece of edge
trim along with the remaining edge trim screws used earlier.
Secure the gear net by attaching it to the front of the sled lip
with the edge trim and edge trim screws.
SETUP AND TAKEDOWN 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 ip the shelter back halfway into a “windbreak” position on nice days.
Take-Down: Close all window covers, vents covers and zip the
door shut. Remove all spreader poles and snap each spreader
pole onto its respective pole retention clip. This is the “stow
and go” position of your spreader poles. 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 ipping 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 (69172) may be purchased to
protect your shelter while transporting to and from the lake.
