Safety Information

For pet use only. Prior to placing your dog or other pet in the exercise pen, remove all collars, leashes, harnesses, and similar accessories to prevent entanglement or injury.

Setup Instructions

The New World Folding Metal Exercise Pen is designed for tool-free assembly. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Unfold Panels: Carefully unfold the eight connected panels.
2. Form Desired Shape: Arrange the panels into your desired configuration (e.g., octagon, square).
3. Secure Connections: Use the four included thumb-snaps to securely connect the ends of the panels, forming a complete enclosure.
4. Outdoor Stability (Optional): For outdoor use, insert the four ground anchors through the bottom of the panels into the ground to enhance stability.

Operating Instructions

The exercise pen offers flexibility in its use and configuration:

• Indoor Use: Place the pen on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles.
• Outdoor Use: Position the pen on a level ground. Utilize the ground anchors for added stability, especially on uneven terrain or during windy conditions.
• Shape Customization: The modular design allows for various shapes, such as an octagon or square, to fit your space requirements.
• Pet Placement: Gently place your pet inside the enclosure. Due to the no-door design, pets are typically lifted in and out.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your exercise pen, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal panels with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots or residue buildup.
• Rust Prevention: The E-coat finish provides rust protection. However, regularly inspect the pen for any signs of wear or damage to the coating, especially if used outdoors. Address any chips or scratches promptly to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the pen flat and store it in a dry place to protect it from extreme weather conditions and prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your New World Folding Metal Exercise Pen, consider the following:

• Instability: Ensure all panel connections are secure with the thumb-snaps. For outdoor use, verify that ground anchors are fully inserted into stable ground.
• Pet Escaping: This pen is designed for small, non-climbing animals. If your pet is able to climb or jump over the 24-inch height, consider a taller pen or additional security measures (e.g., a compatible wire mesh top, sold separately).
• Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Check for any bent wires or obstructions preventing smooth movement of the panels. Ensure panels are aligned correctly.
