3. Safety Information

To ensure the safety of your pet and the longevity of the ramp, please observe the following guidelines:

• Always ensure the ramp is placed on a stable, level surface.
• Before each use, verify that all adjustable components are securely locked into place.
• Utilize the included wooden blocks and ropes to fasten the ramp to your furniture (bed frame, sofa leg) to prevent movement or tipping.
• Supervise your pet during initial uses to ensure they are comfortable and confident using the ramp.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 120 lbs.

4. Setup and Assembly

The PANTAZO Dog Ramp comes largely pre-assembled for your convenience. Follow these steps for quick setup:

1. Unpack the Ramp: Carefully remove the ramp from its packaging.
2. Unfold the Ramp: Gently unfold the ramp to its extended position.
3. Adjust Height: Locate the adjustable support mechanism on the underside of the ramp. Lift the ramp slightly and slide the support bar into the desired height slot. There are 6 height options available. Ensure the support bar is fully seated in the chosen slot for stability.
4. Attach Safety Rails: Insert the 5 detachable safety side rails into the pre-cut holes along the sides of the ramp. Ensure they are firmly in place.
5. Secure the Ramp: Use the provided wooden blocks and ropes to secure the base of the ramp to the legs or frame of your bed or sofa. This prevents the ramp from shifting during use. Refer to the "Wood block fastening" image for guidance.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the ramp is set up and secured, you can begin training your pet to use it. Patience and positive reinforcement are key.

1. Placement: Position the pet ramp next to the couch or bed where your dog frequently rests or sleeps.
2. Enticement: Place your pet's favorite treats or toys on the ramp, gradually moving them closer to the top.
3. Ascending Training: Gently encourage your pet to climb up the ramp. Use verbal cues and positive reinforcement (praise, treats) as they make progress. Guide them if necessary, but allow them to explore at their own pace.
4. Descending Training: Once comfortable ascending, train your pet to walk down the ramp. Again, use treats and praise to encourage them. This helps them form muscle memory for safe use.
5. Consistency: Use the ramp consistently for all access to the elevated surface. This reinforces the behavior and makes it a natural habit for your pet.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your PANTAZO Dog Ramp:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden frame with a damp cloth as needed. For the non-slip carpet surface, use a pet-safe cleaner or a mild soap solution and a brush to remove dirt and pet hair. Allow to air dry completely before next use.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, joints, and adjustable mechanisms to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly. Tighten any loose screws.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, fold the ramp flat and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. It can be conveniently stored under a bed or sofa.
