TIPS FOR USE
Folding and transporting your Clam Ice Fishing shelter is easy:
▪ Unsnap the spreader poles and lay them in the bottom of the base.
▪ Push the Rapid Pole Slide push buttons and retract each hoop, starting with the rear hoop and
working towards the front. Rotate all retracted 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 to help prolong the life of the unit.
▪ We recommend the optional Runner Kit be mounted to the base of your shelter
(NOTE: Pulling behind an ATV or snowmobile may result in premature wear of the base).
▪ In windy conditions it is advised to secure your shelter to the ice using Clam’s Ice Anchor Kit
(PN
108064) and Ice Anchor Installation Tool (PN 108348).
Make sure your Ice Shelter is completely dried out after each use. Store your Ice Shelter in a cool,
dry place. Keep away from rodents.
Q: What is the proper way to set up and take down my Fish Trap?
Set-Up:
•
Face the seats. Grab the floor hoop pole and pull on it until you feel and hear the RPSX collar
pins engaging in the fully open position. Grab the next hoop and do the same until all the
hoops are fully open. When finished, you should be inside the shelter.
•
Install the roof spreaders, then front spreader, and finally the rear spreader. (Spreader count
varies with shelter style/configuration
– some smaller shelters use only a rear spreader).
Take-Down:
•
Remove all spreaders - snug the tension knobs after compacting so they
don’t vibrate out during
transit.
•
From inside the shelter, start with the rear wall hoop. Compress both collars and retract
hoop, then the same with next inward hoop, etc. Continue until all upright hoops are
collapsed.
•
Step out of the shelter, disengage the porch hoop collars and swing the porch hoop onto the
previously retracted hoops. Make sure the tent does not catch on the mount brackets while
collapsing the porch hoop.
•
Go around the shelter and tuck the tent material in between the rested hoops the best you
can to keep the tent material from dragging during transit
– a travel cover works great to
help hold everything together.
***Note: Make sure tent material is clear of the canopy brackets to minimize rubbing or possible
tearing.
