Setup Instructions
- Unfold the Crate: Carefully remove the crate from its packaging. The crate is designed to unfold easily. Lay it flat and lift the side panels upwards.
- Secure Side Panels: Bring the side panels together and secure them using the integrated clips or latches. Ensure all connections are firm to prevent collapse.
- Install the Pan: Slide the removable shatter-resistant pan into the bottom of the crate. Ensure it sits flush and is properly supported by the crate's base.
- Attach Divider Panel (Optional): If using for a growing puppy, attach the divider panel to adjust the interior space. Position it to allow your puppy enough room to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably, but not so much space that they can soil one end and sleep in the other.
- Check Doors: Ensure both doors open and close smoothly and that the 5-point locking system engages securely.

Operating Instructions
Using the Doors:
The crate features two doors for versatile access. Each door is equipped with a 5-point locking system for enhanced security.
- Opening: To open a door, slightly lift the latch mechanism (approximately 1/8-1/4 inch) to clear the curved holders, then slide the latch to disengage it from the wire frame. Pull the door open.
- Closing: To close a door, align the door with the frame, then slide the latch into position. Ensure the latch is fully engaged and slightly lifted to secure it over the curved holders, providing the 5-point lock.

Using the Divider Panel:
The divider panel allows you to adjust the crate's internal space. This is particularly useful for puppy training, as it helps prevent accidents by limiting the available space.
- Installation: Position the divider panel inside the crate at the desired location. Secure it by hooking its ends onto the vertical wires of the crate.
- Adjustment: As your pet grows, reposition the divider panel to provide more space. Ensure it is always securely fastened.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Pan: The removable shatter-resistant pan can be easily slid out for cleaning. Wash with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the crate.
- Crate Cleaning: Wipe down the wire frame with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner as needed. Ensure the crate is completely dry before your pet re-enters.
- Rust Resistance: The crate features a rust-resistant finish. While suitable for occasional outdoor use, prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to maintain its condition.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the crate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Ensure all latches and connections are functioning correctly for your pet's safety.

Troubleshooting
- Crate Not Assembling Correctly: Ensure all panels are aligned properly and that the clips are fully engaged. Refer to the setup instructions and ensure no wires are bent or obstructed.
- Doors Not Latching Securely: Verify that the latch mechanism is lifted slightly to clear the curved holders before sliding it into the locked position. The 5-point locking system requires proper engagement for full security.
- Damaged Pan: If the pan arrives damaged or becomes damaged during use, contact customer support for a replacement. Avoid using a damaged pan as it may pose a risk to your pet or make cleaning difficult.
- Pet Escaping: Ensure all doors are securely latched using the 5-point locking system. Check for any bent wires or gaps that your pet might exploit. Consider adding additional external clips if your pet is particularly adept at escaping.
