Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• 8 x Steel Panels (including 1 panel with hinged door)
• 8 x Connection Pins
• Ground Stakes (for outdoor use)

Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your vidaXL Dog Playpen:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all panels and accessories from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Connect Panels: Stand two panels upright. Align the vertical rods of one panel with the loops on the adjacent panel. Insert a connection pin through the aligned loops from top to bottom. Ensure the pin is fully inserted to secure the connection.
3. Form Desired Shape: Continue connecting the remaining panels in the same manner to create your desired configuration (e.g., square, rectangle, octagon, L-shape). The flexible design allows for various layouts.
4. Secure the Enclosure: Once all panels are connected and the desired shape is formed, ensure the last panel is connected to the first to close the loop.
5. Install Ground Stakes (Outdoor Use): For added stability when using outdoors, push the ground stakes through the loops at the bottom of the panels into the soil. This helps prevent the playpen from shifting or being knocked over.

Operating Instructions

• Door Operation: The playpen includes one panel with a hinged door. To open, lift the security latches and swing the door open. To close, swing the door shut and ensure both latches are securely fastened.
• Placement: For indoor use, place the playpen on a non-slip surface. For outdoor use, choose a level area and use the ground stakes for stability.
• Supervision: Always supervise your pet, especially during initial use, to ensure they are comfortable and secure within the playpen.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the panels with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the playpen by removing the connection pins. The panels can be folded flat for compact storage in a dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections, latches, and panel surfaces for wear, damage, or rust. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety and longevity.

Troubleshooting

• Playpen is unstable: Ensure all connection pins are fully inserted. For outdoor use, verify ground stakes are firmly in place. Check that the playpen is on a level surface.
• Door not closing securely: Inspect the latches for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the door panel is properly aligned with the adjacent panels.
• Difficulty connecting panels: Ensure the loops on the panels are correctly aligned before inserting the connection pins. Apply gentle pressure if needed.
