Observe the porch area of the tent lifting accordingly as you pull. When the U-Channel Molding is correctly installed, the Porch Hoop Pole will lightly touch the floor/ice. `To achieve this condition, start by finding the center of the Molding. From behind the unit, pull the midpoint of the Tent downward and fold the Tent material under the lip of the base. Then press the midpoint of the molding over the Tent material and Base lip. Continue pressing outward in both directions until you have secured about twelve inches of material to the base Having temporarily secured the tent to the base, take a walk around the unit. Readjust the Molding until you have verified the proper Porch Hoop Pole position and also that the tent sides and corners are properly proportioned. When satisfied, continue applying the Molding around the shelter, one direction from center and then the other, pulling the material as you go so that surface is relatively wrinkle-free and snug. You may need to trim the molding ends if they are not equal. Reinstall the Ajustable Spreader Pole to tighten the fit of the tent. If everything still looks good, secure the Molding with the #6 Phillips Screws. Evenly space them about every ten to twelve inches, and also put a screw in the center of both corners. Since there aren’t any predrilled holes, it's advisable to use a powered driver for this operation. 11 -Tip s for U se --Tip s for U se - Folding and transporting your Fish Trap is easy: . Unsnap the Rear Spreader Pole and lay it in the bottom of the base. ..Rotate all hoops to the resting position. Tuck the tent into the base and between the hoops so that no material is left hanging on the ground for transport. ..Cover with the Travel Cover* (an optional but recommended accessory to help prolong the life of the unit). Tow the unit out to your favorite fishing spot! (NOTE: continuous pulling behind a four wheeler or snowmobile may result in premature wear of the base. We recommend the optional Wear Strips* be mounted to the base of your Fish Trap). Make sure your Ice Shelter is completely dried out before storing for long periods of time. Store your Ice Shelter in a cool, dry place. Keep away from rodents. *See our accessory catalog or for these items and more! - Sa fe ty I nstr uc tio ns - Please fully understand and follow all safety instructions as outlined. Failure to do so could result in severe injury or death. ..Do not use open flame heaters in your ice shelter. Injury or death may result from fire if tent fabric is exposed to open flame. The tent is not fireproof, but the fabric is treated with a fire retardant that meets CPAI-84 specifications. Application of any foreign substance may render the flame retardant properties ineffective. Ice Armor fabric will melt when contact is made with hot surfaces (i.e., heaters). ..Death from asphyxiation may result from use of oxygen depleting heaters. Open all vents for fresh air ventilation. ..Never leave shelter unattended when set up. ..Due to the increase in traffic (snowmobiles, autos, etc.) on area lakes, ice fishing can be hazardous at night. If you choose to fish at night or in poor visibility conditions, be sure to take precautions with lights or reflectors to show drivers your whereabouts. Night time: exterior reflectors must be visible to reduce risk of collisions. - War ra nty - Clam Corporation, Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser that all Clams are free from manufacturers defects for one (1) year from the date of the original purchase.
