4.3 Securing Doors and Latches

1. Close both doors firmly.

3. Utilize the additional door latch fastenings for enhanced security, if desired.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Placement

Choose a safe, level outdoor area for the run. Ensure it is free from hazards and provides some natural shade. The run is designed for outdoor use.

5.2 Using the Doors

The two doors allow for convenient access to your pets. Simply unlatch and open a door to place or remove your animals, or to replenish food and water. Always re-latch the doors securely after use.

5.3 Providing Essentials

Always ensure your pets have access to fresh water, food, and a sheltered area within the run to protect them from sun, wind, or rain. A small hutch or tunnel can serve this purpose.

5.4 Moving the Run

Thanks to its lightweight and foldable design, the run can be easily moved. To move it short distances, you can lift it using the integrated carrying handle. For longer distances or storage, fold the run flat as described in the setup section.

6.1 Cleaning

The galvanized material of the run is easy to clean. Use a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe detergent to wipe down the surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before returning pets to the run. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and extends the product's lifespan.

6.2 Inspection

Periodically inspect all parts of the run for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Check hinges, latches, and wire mesh for any sharp points or loose connections. Replace any damaged components immediately to ensure the safety of your pets.

7. Troubleshooting

• Run feels unstable: Ensure all panels are fully unfolded and interlocked at the corners. Place the run on a completely flat surface.
• Doors not closing securely: Check for any obstructions in the door frame or latch mechanism. Ensure the latches are fully engaged. Use the additional latch fastenings if needed.
• Difficulty folding/unfolding: Ensure no parts are bent or obstructed. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force components.
