3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To clean the dog gate, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the wood finish or wire mesh. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
3.2 Inspection
Regularly inspect the gate for any signs of wear or damage, including loose screws, damaged hinges, or bent wire mesh. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately. If any part is significantly damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.
4. Troubleshooting
- Gate is unstable: Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Verify that the stabilizing feet are properly positioned and flat on the floor. The gate is freestanding and relies on its design for stability; it is not designed to be permanently fastened to walls.
- Gate does not adjust smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the sliding mechanism. Ensure the adjustment knobs are fully loosened before attempting to slide the panels.
- Pet is able to move the gate: This gate is designed for small to medium-sized dogs. For larger or more determined pets, additional measures may be required to secure the gate or consider a different type of barrier.
