POPUP SHELTERS
ASSEMBLY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove ice shelter from backpack carrying bag. Remove the
tie strap from around the shelter.
2. Lay the ice shelter at on the ground and check that there is
no material twisted or overlapping the ends of any poles. Do
not force shelter when folding or unfolding. Watch for the
entanglement of poles. SEE FIGURE 1
NOTE: In windy conditions and before pulling outward
on the roof or walls to pop open the shelter, securely
anchor at all corners with provided ice anchors. This will
prevent shelter from blowing away when setting
up in windy conditions.
3. Grasp the webbing loop sewn onto the eyelet located in the
center of the roof and pull outward until the roof section pops
open. For the 6-9 person shelters, do the same for the other
roof section. Both roof sections should now be popped open.
SEE FIGURE 2
4. Grasp the webbing loop sewn onto the eyelet located in the
center of one of the walls and pull outward so that the wall
pops open. SEE FIGURE 3
NOTE: Place your foot on the ground skirt to help hold the
shelter in place when popping open the walls.
5. Proceed by walking around entire shelter and pulling on each
wall webbing loop to pop out each wall until all sides are
popped out. SEE FIGURE 4
NOTE: There are four wall sections on the 2-4 person models
and six wall sections on the 6-9 person models.
6. Your shelter should be standing up completely. You may now
proceed by anchoring the shelter to the ice using the provided
ice anchors and rope. SEE FIGURE 5
2-4 PERSON SHELTER- Screw four anchors through the grommets located in each corner completely. On the windiest side
of the shelter, screw in the remaining anchors several feet away
from the hubs. Use the provided ropes and tie one end to the
hub eyelet on each wall, and the other end to one of the anchors
previously screwed in. Use adjustment slides on rope to achieve
proper tension.
6-9 PERSON SHELTER - Screw six anchors through the grommets
located in each corner and on the long sides of the shelter completely. On the windiest side of the shelter, screw in the remaining
anchors several feet away from the hubs. Use the provided ropes
and tie one end to the hub eyelet on each wall, and the other end
to one of the anchors previously screwed in. Use adjustment slides
on rope to achieve proper tension.
