6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your playpen.

- Inspection: Regularly inspect all panels, connectors, and the gate mechanism for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Tighten any loose connections immediately.
- Storage: When not in use, disassemble the playpen and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Dripex playpen, refer to the following common solutions:
- Playpen is unstable: Ensure all connectors are fully engaged and tightened. Verify that the anti-slip suction cups are firmly pressed onto a clean, smooth surface. If on carpet, ensure the panels are arranged in a stable configuration (e.g., square or octagon) and consider placing a mat underneath for added grip.
- Gate not locking: Check that the gate is properly aligned with the adjacent panel and the gear lock mechanism is free from obstruction. Apply gentle pressure to ensure it clicks into place.
- Panels difficult to connect/disconnect: Ensure the connectors are aligned correctly. If stiff, apply slight pressure while twisting the knobs. Avoid excessive force.
If problems persist, please contact Dripex customer support for assistance.
