Brake and Lock Mechanism:

The HCY&WLD Retractable Dog Leash features a one-button brake and lock system for easy control.

Image: Visual guide to the quick one-button brake and lock system, showing the button positions for 'Free', 'Pause', 'Locked', and 'Unlocked' leash states.

• Free: When the button is not pressed, the leash tape extends and retracts freely, allowing your dog a wider range of motion.
• Pause: Press and hold the large button to temporarily stop the leash from extending or retracting. Release the button to resume free movement.
• Locked: To lock the leash at a specific length, press the large button down and then push the small locking switch forward. This keeps the leash at a fixed length.
• Unlocked: To unlock the leash from a fixed position, pull the small locking switch backward. The leash will then return to the 'Free' state.

Walking with the Leash:

1. Hold the leash handle firmly in your hand.
2. Allow your dog to walk ahead, using the brake button to control their distance.
3. When you need your dog closer, gently guide them towards you while allowing the leash to retract, or use the pause/lock function.
4. The 360° tangle-free design and U-shaped retraction opening allow for smooth operation from any angle.

Using the Poop Bag Dispenser:

1. When needed, pull a single bag from the dispenser opening.
2. Tear along the perforation to detach the bag.
3. Use the bag to clean up after your dog and dispose of it responsibly.

5. Safety Guidelines

Your safety and your dog's safety are paramount. Adhere to the following guidelines:

• Maintain Control: Always be aware of your surroundings and your dog's behavior. Be prepared to use the brake and lock mechanism to prevent your dog from running into traffic, other people, or animals.
• Avoid Entanglement: Ensure the leash tape does not wrap around your dog, other people, or objects. The 360° swivel hook helps minimize tangles.
• No Chewing: Retractable leashes are not designed for chewing. Prevent your dog from biting the leash tape, as this can cause damage and lead to breakage.
• Night Visibility: The leash tape features double-sided reflective stitching to improve visibility in low-light conditions. However, always use additional lighting or reflective gear for maximum safety during night walks.

6. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe the leash handle and casing with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
• Allow the leash tape to fully dry before retracting it to prevent mildew or damage to the internal mechanism.
• Do not immerse the entire leash in water.

Storage:

• Store the leash in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Ensure the leash tape is fully retracted before storage.

7. Troubleshooting

Leash Not Retracting Smoothly:

• Check for any dirt or debris caught in the retraction opening. Clean if necessary.
• Ensure the leash tape is not twisted or tangled.
• If the issue persists, the internal spring mechanism may be damaged. Discontinue use.

Brake Button Not Engaging:

• Verify that the locking switch is not in the 'Locked' position.
• Inspect the button for any obstructions.
• If the brake mechanism feels loose or unresponsive, the internal components may be damaged. Discontinue use.
