Setup

The PawHut Pet Stairs are designed for minimal assembly. Typically, the main structure comes pre-assembled. The primary setup involves placing the stairs in the desired location and ensuring the carpeted treads are securely in place.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit.
2. Positioning: Place the pet stairs on a flat, stable surface near the furniture or area your pet needs to access. Ensure the stairs are flush against the furniture for stability.
3. Tread Placement: The carpeted treads are designed to fit securely into the top surface of each step. Ensure each tread is properly seated to prevent movement during use.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, the pet stairs are ready for use. Encourage your pet to use the stairs gently, especially if they are new to such an aid.

• Introduction to Pet: Gently guide your pet up and down the stairs a few times. Use treats or praise to create a positive association.
• Safe Usage: Ensure your pet uses the stairs one step at a time. The non-slip carpeted treads are designed to provide secure footing.
• Storage Access: To access the internal storage, simply lift the top panel of each step. This space can be used for toys, leashes, or other small pet essentials.
• Weight Limit: Adhere to the maximum weight capacity of 66 lbs (30 kg) to ensure safety and product longevity. These stairs are suitable for small to medium-sized dogs and cats.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your PawHut Pet Stairs.

• Cleaning the Wood: Wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Dry immediately after cleaning.
• Cleaning the Carpet Treads: The carpeted treads can be vacuumed regularly to remove pet hair and debris. For spills or stains, spot clean with a mild carpet cleaner and a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely before use.
• Inspection: Periodically check all joints and screws to ensure they are tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the carpet treads for any signs of wear or loosening.

Troubleshooting

• Pet Hesitates to Use Stairs:
  • Place treats on each step to encourage your pet to ascend.
  • Gently guide your pet up and down the stairs with a leash.
  • Ensure the stairs are stable and do not wobble, which might scare your pet.
• Stairs Seem Unstable:
  • Verify the stairs are placed on a flat, even surface.
  • Ensure all screws and connections are tightened.
  • Confirm the stairs are flush against the furniture they are intended to reach.
• Carpet Treads Slipping:
  • Ensure the treads are properly seated in their designated recesses.
  • Clean any debris or dust from underneath the treads and the step surface that might prevent a secure fit.
