Setup and Assembly
The Yaheetech pet playpen is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. Follow these steps to set up your playpen:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all panels and connecting rods from the packaging.
- Connect Panels: Stand two panels upright. Align the vertical bars of one panel with the vertical bars of another. Insert a connecting rod (stake) through the loops at the top and bottom of the aligned panels to join them securely.
- Form Desired Shape: Continue connecting the remaining panels in the same manner. The flexible design allows you to configure the playpen into various shapes such as a rectangle, hexagon, square, or other irregular shapes, depending on your space and needs. For larger enclosures, additional sets can be purchased and connected.
- Secure the Door Panel: One of the panels includes a hinged door. Ensure this panel is connected securely and the door latch operates correctly. The door features an auto-lock mechanism for ease of use and security.
- Outdoor Use (Optional): If using outdoors, the connecting rods can also serve as ground anchors. Push the rods firmly into the soil to stabilize the playpen and prevent movement.

Operation
Using your Yaheetech pet playpen is straightforward:
- Placing Your Pet: Open the door by disengaging the auto-lock latch. Allow your pet to enter the playpen. Close the door securely, ensuring the auto-lock mechanism engages.
- Supervision: Always supervise your pet while they are inside the playpen.
- Portability: The playpen can be easily moved once assembled. For temporary relocation, lift the entire structure. For transport or storage, disassemble the panels by removing the connecting rods. The panels can then be folded flat for space-saving storage.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The metal panels can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust, especially after outdoor use.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connecting rods, hinges, and the door latch for wear or damage. Ensure all parts are functioning correctly and securely.
- Storage: When not in use, disassemble the playpen and store the panels flat in a dry place to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Playpen feels unstable. | Panels not fully connected or placed on uneven surface. | Ensure all connecting rods are fully inserted. Move to a flat, level surface. For outdoor use, push connecting rods into the ground. |
| Door latch is stiff or not closing properly. | Debris in latch mechanism or slight misalignment. | Clean the latch mechanism. Check if the door panel is properly aligned with the adjacent panel. |
| Pet is able to escape. | Playpen height is insufficient for the pet, or door is not secured. | Ensure the door is fully latched. Consider a taller playpen or additional panels if your pet can jump over the current height. Always supervise your pet. |
