2. Safety Information

Adherence to the following safety guidelines is crucial for the well-being of your pet and the longevity of the product:

• Collar Removal: Always remove your pet's collar before they enter the crate to prevent entanglement or choking hazards.
• Crate Acclimation: When first introducing your dog to the crate, they may experience anxiety. Do not immediately lock the door. Place familiar items or chew toys inside to encourage positive association. Only use the door lock function once your dog has adapted to the crate environment.
• Proper Sizing: To select the correct crate size, measure your dog's length and height. Add at least 4 inches to both measurements to ensure adequate space for movement and comfort.
• Supervision: While the crate is designed for security, regular supervision of your pet is recommended.
• Placement: Ensure the crate is placed on a stable, level surface. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Non-Toxic Finish: The crate features a non-toxic hammer-tone coating, safe for pets even if they lick or bite the frame.

4. Attach Top Panel: Position the top panel onto the crate frame and secure it.
5. Install Wheels: Attach the four 360-degree swivel caster wheels to the designated points on the bottom of the crate. Ensure they are securely fastened.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your crate:

• Cleaning the Pan and Tray: The removable wire tray and leak-proof plastic pan can be easily pulled out for cleaning. Wash with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinserting.
• Crate Frame Cleaning: Wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the hammer-tone coating.
• Rust Prevention: The hammer-tone coating is designed to resist rust and corrosion. For outdoor use, ensure the crate is not exposed to prolonged moisture.
