Operating Instructions
The HIWOKK dog crate is designed for user-friendly operation, offering multiple access points and easy mobility.
Using the Double Door System
Your crate is equipped with two convenient doors:
- Front Door: To open, unlatch the two secure locks on the front door. This provides a wide opening for your pet to easily enter and exit the crate.
- Top Door: To open, unlatch the two locks located on the top panel. This allows for convenient interaction with your pet, such as feeding, petting, or placing items inside without opening the main front door.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your HIWOKK dog crate.
Cleaning the Crate
- Removable Tray and Grate: For routine cleaning, slide out the plastic tray and lift out the floor grate. Wash both components with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue and dry completely before reinserting.
- Crate Frame: Wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the protective coating. Dry immediately to prevent rust.
General Care
- Regularly inspect all bolts, latches, and welds for any signs of loosening or damage. Tighten any loose bolts immediately.
- Ensure the non-toxic coating remains intact. If you notice any significant scratches or chips, consider touch-up paint to prevent rust and maintain safety.
- Avoid exposing the crate to extreme weather conditions or prolonged moisture, as this can accelerate wear and corrosion.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your HIWOKK dog crate, please refer to the common problems and solutions below. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Problem: Crate feels wobbly or unstable.
Solution: Check all assembly bolts, especially those securing the top panel and side panels. Ensure they are fully tightened. Also, verify that the crate is placed on a flat, level surface.
Problem: Wheels are not rolling smoothly or are difficult to move.
Solution: Ensure that the locking levers on the casters are fully disengaged. Check for any debris, pet hair, or obstructions caught in the wheels. Clean the wheels if necessary.
Problem: Doors are difficult to open or close, or latches do not engage.
Solution: Verify that the crate is on a level surface, as uneven ground can cause the frame to twist slightly, affecting door alignment. Check for any bent bars or obstructions preventing the latches from moving freely. Ensure the latches are clean and free of debris.
