3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• 1 x Removable Metal Divider
• 2 x Pull-Out Trays
• Assembly Hardware (bolts, nuts, washers - quantity as per included instructions)
• 1 x Instruction Manual

4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically takes around 30 minutes. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly due to the size and weight of the components.

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Check against the package contents list.
2. Assemble Side Panels: Connect the side panels to the front and back panels using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are finger-tight initially.
3. Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel to the assembled sides.
4. Insert Bottom Grates: Place the metal grates that form the bottom of the crate into their designated slots.
5. Install Divider (Optional): If using the crate as two separate compartments, slide the removable metal divider into the central grooves. Ensure it is securely seated.
6. Insert Trays: Slide the two pull-out trays under the bottom grates from the front or back.
7. Tighten All Hardware: Once all components are in place, systematically tighten all bolts with the appropriate tool. Do not overtighten.
8. Test Doors: Open and close both doors to ensure they operate smoothly and the latches engage securely.

5. Operating Instructions

The BingoPaw dog crate offers flexible configurations to suit your needs.

Using with Divider (Two Compartments):

• Ensure the metal divider is securely installed in the central grooves.
• Each compartment has its own door and latch system.
• This configuration is ideal for housing two medium to large dogs, with a recommended maximum load of 40 kg per side.
• The divider can also be used to confine a puppy to a smaller area, gradually expanding the space as the puppy grows.

Using without Divider (Single Large Compartment):

• To create a single extra-large space, simply slide the metal divider out of its grooves.
• This configuration is suitable for very large or giant dog breeds, with a recommended maximum load of 100 kg.
• The two front doors still operate independently, providing flexible access.

The crate's elevated design (14 cm leg height) makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing resistance to moisture and splashes.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your BingoPaw dog crate and ensure a hygienic environment for your pet.

• Tray Cleaning: The two pull-out trays can be easily removed from the bottom of the crate. Slide them out, empty any debris, and wash with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinserting.
• Crate Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame and bars with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the epoxy coating.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all welds, latches, and bolts for security and signs of wear. Tighten any loose hardware.
• Rust Prevention: The crate features an epoxy coating for rust resistance. If used outdoors, ensure it is in a sheltered area to minimize exposure to extreme weather.
