Operating Instructions
- Opening/Closing Doors: To open, slide the latch mechanism away from the door frame and pull the door open. To close, push the door shut and slide the latch into the locked position.
- Pet Entry/Exit: Guide your dog into or out of the crate through the open doors.
- Using as Furniture: The sturdy top surface can be used as an end table, coffee table, or TV stand. Ensure items placed on top are within the weight capacity and do not obstruct the crate's ventilation.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish. The metal mesh can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinsed and dried thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
- Mesh Integrity: Inspect the metal mesh for any signs of damage or bending, especially if your pet is prone to chewing. While designed to be chew-resistant, extreme force can cause damage.
Troubleshooting
- Doors Not Closing Properly: Check if the hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the doors from closing flush with the frame.
- Loose or Wobbly Structure: Re-tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the anti-tip kit is properly installed and secured to the wall.
- Pet Chewing on Mesh/Wood: While the mesh is chew-resistant, persistent chewing may indicate your pet needs additional training, chew toys, or supervision. Consider applying a pet-safe bitter spray to deter chewing on wooden parts.
