Operating Instructions
- Door Operation: The crate features double doors that can be opened independently. Use the latches to securely close the doors when your pet is inside.
- Divider Adjustment: To adjust the divider, open the top panel of the crate. Slide the divider to the desired position to create a smaller or larger space for your dog. This is particularly useful for puppy training.
- Tray Removal: To remove the slide tray for cleaning, unlock the bone-shaped mechanism at the front base of the crate and gently pull the tray out.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Tray: Regularly remove and clean the plastic slide tray with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the crate.
- Cleaning the Crate: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a damp cloth. For metal grates, use a pet-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm your pet or damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware as needed.
- Placement: Keep the crate indoors and away from direct sunlight or excessive moisture to preserve the wood and metal components.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Crate feels unstable/wobbly | Loose screws or uneven surface. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the crate is placed on a flat, level surface. |
| Dog attempts to chew on crate parts | Natural chewing behavior; crate material not suitable for heavy chewers. | Provide appropriate chew toys. If chewing persists and damages the crate, this model may not be suitable for your dog. Consider alternative, more robust crate types. |
| Dog escapes from the crate | Latches not properly secured; dog is an "escape artist". | Always ensure both door latches are fully engaged. If your dog consistently escapes, this crate may not be secure enough for their behavior. |
| Difficulty removing/inserting tray | Bone-shaped lock engaged; debris in tray channel. | Ensure the bone-shaped lock is disengaged (turned horizontally). Check for and remove any obstructions in the tray's sliding channel. |
