3. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your ROOMTEC dog kennel. It is recommended to have at least two people for easier assembly.

1. Step 1: Assemble the Base Frame

   Begin by connecting the bottom steel tube panels. Utilize the tube insert installation method, sliding the tubes into the connectors. Secure them with the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are firm but do not overtighten initially.

2. Step 2: Install Side Panels and Door

   Attach the vertical side panels to the base frame. Integrate the door panel, including the dual rotating feeding mechanism, into its designated position. Use snap-pins and bolts to secure these panels. Ensure the door swings freely and the latch mechanism operates correctly.

3. Step 3: Attach the Roof Frame and Cover

   Assemble the top frame components and secure them to the vertical panels. Once the frame is complete, drape the waterproof PE roof cover over the top. Use the elastic ball ropes to securely fasten the cover to the kennel frame, ensuring it is taut and properly aligned to prevent water accumulation.

4. Operating Instructions

Using the Rotating Bowls

The kennel features a dual rotating feeding system for convenience. To use:

1. Unlatch the rotating bowl holder from the inside of the kennel.
2. Gently rotate the bowls outwards.
3. Fill the stainless steel bowls with food and water.
4. Rotate the bowls back into the kennel and secure the latch.

This image illustrates the dual rotating feeding system, showing how the stainless steel bowls can be rotated outwards for easy filling and cleaning without opening the main kennel door.

Main Door Operation

The main door is equipped with a secure latch. To open, lift the latch and pull the door outwards. To close, push the door shut and ensure the latch is fully engaged to prevent accidental opening.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning

• The kennel can be cleaned directly with water. Use a mild detergent if necessary.
• Regularly clean the stainless steel bowls to maintain hygiene.
• Remove any debris or waste from the kennel floor frequently.

Roof Cover Care

The multi-functional PE material cover is designed for durability. To prolong its life:

• Ensure the cover is always securely fastened to prevent wind damage.
• Periodically check for tears or damage and repair as needed.
• Clean the cover with water and a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain its protective properties.

6. Troubleshooting

• Kennel Instability: Ensure all bolts and snap-pins are fully tightened. Verify the kennel is placed on a level surface.
• Door Latch Issues: If the door latch is not securing properly, check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure the latch mechanism is clean and free of debris.
• Rotating Bowl Mechanism Sticking: Clean the rotating mechanism and ensure no food or debris is impeding its movement. Lubricate with a food-safe lubricant if necessary.
• Water Accumulation on Roof: Ensure the roof cover is taut and properly angled. The spire design is intended to prevent accumulation; adjust the cover's tension if water pools.
