Door Mechanism

The main access door features a secure locking mechanism. To open, slide the bolt outwards and swing the door open. To close, swing the door shut and slide the bolt inwards until it locks into place. Ensure the lock is fully engaged to prevent accidental escapes.

Mobility

The cage is equipped with four swivel casters, allowing for easy movement. To move the cage, simply push it in the desired direction. Some casters may include a locking mechanism to keep the cage stationary when needed. Engage the locks by pressing down on the lever on the caster.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your cage and the health of your bird.

Tray Cleaning

The slide-out tray should be cleaned daily. Pull the tray out from the bottom of the cage, dispose of waste, and wipe it clean with a damp cloth and bird-safe disinfectant. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.

General Cleaning

Periodically wipe down the cage bars and surfaces with a damp cloth and bird-safe cleaner. Ensure all food and water bowls are cleaned daily. For a deeper clean, the cage can be hosed down outdoors, ensuring it is completely dry before returning your bird.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Assembly Difficulties

If parts do not seem to fit, double-check the assembly instructions and diagrams. Ensure you are using the correct screws for each connection. Sometimes, panels may require slight adjustment to align properly. If parts are bent or damaged upon arrival, do not force them; contact customer support.

Instability

If the cage feels wobbly, ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the cage is placed on a flat, level surface. Adjust the casters if necessary to ensure even weight distribution.
