SHELTER SKIN INSTALLATION
12. Unfold the skin and locate the Eskimo
door, which is in the front of the sled. With the outer part of the
shelter skin lying facing down, locate the (2) pole sleeves and
(5) straps with metal rings. Locate the front right side of the
shelter skin; slide the extension tube assembly (15542/15540)
through the sleeve on the shelter skin and through the rings
on the front of the shelter skin.
Note: Assembly will be easier in the upcoming steps with the
extension assembly (15542/15540) in the "Travel Position".
Refer to Figure 8 to distinguish the "Travel Position" and the
"In-Use Position".
13.Attach the extension assembly (15542/15540) with the skin to
the pivot tube on the hinge assemblies (11652/11653) using
(2) ¼-20 x 1-1/2" bolts, (4) nylon washers, and (2) ¼-20 nylock
nuts. SEE FIGURE 9
Note: DO NOT overtighten bolts, this part must pivot!
14. Drape the shelter skin over the 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 fit.
15. 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.
16. 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 (69654) 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.
17. Pull the skin taut and push the edge trim over lip of the sled
with the shelter skin between the two. It is important to keep
the skin taut and work the edge trim evenly around both sides
of the shelter until all edge trim is in place. SEE FIGURE 10
Note: When pulling the shelter skin tight, DO NOT lift the
lower frame support off the ground. Make sure all spreader
poles are properly installed before the edge trim is attached
to ensure a proper fit. Using a rubber mallet may be helpful
while attaching the edge trim to the sled lip.
