Assembly Instructions
The PORIYA Dog Cage Crate comes flat-packed and is designed for easy self-assembly without the need for additional tools.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Refer to the "Package Contents" section to ensure all pieces are present.
- Unfold Main Panels: The cage panels are typically folded. Carefully unfold the side and front/back panels to form the basic rectangular structure of the cage.
- Secure Panels: Connect the panels using the integrated hooks or latches. Ensure all connections are firm and stable.
- Attach Top Panel: Position the top panel onto the assembled structure and secure it. Note that the top section is designed to open for easy access.
- Insert Removable Tray: Slide the resin tray into the bottom of the cage. Ensure it sits flush and is easily removable for cleaning.
- Install Wheels (Optional): If you wish to use the cage with wheels, attach the four casters to the designated points on the bottom frame of the cage. Ensure they are securely fastened. These wheels allow for easy movement.
Operating Instructions
Doors and Access:
- The cage features two main doors for convenient access to your pet. To open, slide the safety lock mechanism and pull the door outwards.
- The top section of the cage also opens, providing a "skylight" for visual interaction and easy access to your pet from above.
- Always ensure all doors and the top opening are securely latched when your pet is inside to prevent accidental escapes. The safety lock design provides an anti-collision feature.
Mobility:
- If the wheels are installed, the cage can be easily moved around. Gently push or pull the cage to reposition it.
- For stationary use, ensure the wheels are locked (if applicable) or remove them for added stability.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
- The removable resin tray at the bottom of the cage makes cleaning easy. Simply slide out the tray, dispose of waste, and wash it with mild soap and water.
- Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm your pet or damage the powder coating.
- Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling or placing your pet back in the cage to prevent rust and odors.
Inspection:
- Periodically check all welds, latches, and connections for wear, damage, or signs of rust.
- Ensure the wheels (if used) are functioning smoothly and are free of debris. Lubricate if necessary.
- Address any issues promptly to maintain the safety and integrity of the cage.
Troubleshooting
- Cage feels unstable after assembly: Double-check all panel connections and ensure they are securely latched. Make sure the cage is on a flat, level surface.
- Doors are difficult to open/close: Inspect the latch mechanism for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the cage frame is not warped.
- Wheels are not rolling smoothly: Check for debris caught in the casters. Clean the wheels and ensure they are properly installed.
- Pet attempts to escape: Ensure all locks and latches are fully engaged. Consider adding additional pet-safe clips if your pet is particularly adept at opening latches.

User Tips
