7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty with Assembly: Ensure all clips are correctly aligned and fully engaged. Refer to the assembly videos and diagrams for visual guidance. Do not force components; if they don't fit, re-check the orientation.
• Doors Not Closing Securely: Check that the cage panels are properly aligned and that the door latches are not obstructed. Ensure the safety front door locks are fully engaged.
• Wheels Not Locking: Verify that the brake levers on the caster wheels are fully pushed down to engage the lock mechanism.
• Cleaning Difficulties: The pull-out tray and platforms are designed for easy removal. If stuck, ensure no debris is obstructing their movement. Regular cleaning prevents buildup.
• Pet Discomfort on Mesh Floor/Platforms: While designed to be paw-safe, some pets may prefer a softer surface. Consider adding soft bedding, fleece liners, or small rugs to platforms and the mesh floor for added comfort.
