4. Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your Dripex Foldable Playpen:

1. Prepare Components: Unpack all components and lay them out. Identify the vertical tubes, cloth covers (with and without doors), and lower rods.
2. Connect Rods to Panels: Insert the vertical tubes into the designated sleeves of the cloth covers. Ensure the ends of the upper and lower rods are strictly aligned as shown in the diagram below.

3. Connect Panels and Lock: Join the assembled panels together. For each connection point, ensure the panel is in the 'lock' state before connecting. To lock, slide the mechanism until it clicks into place. To unlock, press the button and slide.

4. Form Desired Shape: Arrange the connected panels into your desired configuration (e.g., square, octagon, rectangle, L-shape). Ensure all connections are secure.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting Shape

The playpen's modular design allows for flexible configuration to suit your space. You can arrange the 8 panels into various shapes such as a square, L-shape, octagon, or rectangle. Simply unlock the necessary panels, reposition them, and then relock to secure the new shape.

5.2 Using the Zipper Gate

The playpen features an innovative hangable zipper door. This design allows the mesh to be folded out of the way, preventing tripping hazards and protecting the zipper from damage. The zipper can only be opened from the outside, ensuring your child remains safely inside.

5.3 Folding and Storage

The playpen is designed for easy folding and compact storage. To fold, unlock the panels as needed and collapse them. The playpen can be folded against a wall or stored in a car without removing all accessories.

5.4 Disassembly

To fully disassemble the playpen, follow these steps:

1. Push the stretchable circle at the bottom of each connection point.
2. Disconnect the bottom tube combination.
3. Ensure the panel is in the 'unlock' state before attempting to separate the rods.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: The 300D Oxford fabric and mesh can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before folding or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the playpen compactly and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections, fabric, and mesh for tears, loose stitching, or damage. Ensure the non-slip suction cups are intact and functioning correctly.

7. Troubleshooting

• Playpen is unstable: Ensure all panel connections are securely locked. Verify that the non-slip suction cups are firmly pressed against a clean, flat surface.
• Difficulty assembling panels: Double-check that the ends of the upper and lower rods are correctly aligned as per the assembly instructions. Ensure the locking mechanism is in the 'unlock' position when connecting, then slide to 'lock'.
• Zipper not functioning smoothly: Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Avoid forcing the zipper; gently guide it.
