• If towing your shelter with a motorized vehicle, we highly recommend adding a Frabill Hyfax Kit to extend the life
of your base.
• Only use the yellow rope for towing your ice shelter by hand. For towing
with powered gear, see our optional tow bar #1639 and hyfax runner kit
#1640. See www.frabill.com or back page for more information.
• Always set up your ice shelter with the back facing or quartering into the
wind. This keeps the wind at your back and minimizes blow back into the
front fishing area.
• Custom fit transport covers are available for all Flip-over style portable
shelters. Ideal for keeping snow and ice out of the base and your
equipment when towing the shelter across the ice. See www.frabill.com
or back page for more information.
• When setting up your shelter, bank the edges with ice shavings and snow to help hold it in place. If there
is no snow you can fold the storm flap under the frame and weigh it down with extra equipment to help hold the shelter
in place.
• Your ice shelter is equipped with a Velcro tab located on the door, which attaches to a second Velcro tab located on the
side panel of the shelter. This holds the door open on warmer days.
• Flip-over ice shelters are equipped with two bi-directional zippers, which allow the door to be opened from either side.
This feature also allows you to close the door from both bottom corners until the zippers meet at the top. This allows
you to open the door slightly at the top for added ventilation.
• All Flip-over ice shelters feature an adjustable telescoping frame design, which allows adjustment of the tent tension
to compensate for varying wind/fit conditions. To keep frame poles sliding freely it is recommended to wax the frame
poles with ski wax. Do not use oil or grease to lubricate.

In Season Care
All Frabill ice shelters are treated with a water repellent sealer. This sealer will help to repel water from leaking into the tent.
This does not guarantee against leakage due to heavy rains, standing snow or seepage through the seams of the tent.
The recommended product to waterproof the tent is Camp Dry™ Water Repellent Spray. If any
other commercial water repellent product is used, test on the skirt of the tent prior to applying
to the entire unit. Tent defects caused by applying any foreign substance to the tent will
invalidate the Frabill warranty.
Always use care when folding your tent after each use. Be careful of plastic
windows and frame mechanics. Should a tear occur patches are available for a minimal cost
through the Frabill customer service department.
Preparing your Flip-Over Ice Shelter for Storage
Prevent rodent, mold, mildew damage!
1. Unscrew all screws from Storm Guard System, and remove tent from base and U-frames.
2. Hand wash with soap and water to remove any fish remains or odor. Do not use washing
machine as it may damage tent and windows.
3. Allow tent to dry thoroughly.
4. Fold tent neatly in tamper proof container. Do not fold windows.
We recommend removing windows for storage. Keep Storm
Guard System and screws in this container also.
5. Mothballs may be added to protect fabric from rodents.
6. Store container in a cool dry area off the ground.
