Operating Instructions

Placing the Terrarium

1. Ensure the stand is fully assembled and placed on a stable, level surface.

1. Plug the stand's power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
2. Connect heating lamps, lights, humidifiers, or other reptile equipment to the four outlets on the side of the stand.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the stand surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Electrical Safety: Regularly inspect the power cord and outlets for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if damage is observed and replace the power strip.

Troubleshooting

• Stand is wobbly: Ensure the stand is on a level surface. Adjust the foot pads at the bottom of the stand to stabilize it. Check that all assembly screws are tightened.
• Power outlets not working: Verify that the stand's power cord is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. Check the power strip's on/off switch (if present) and any circuit breakers.
• Terrarium slides on top: Ensure the anti-slip tank posts are correctly installed. If the terrarium still moves, consider adding additional non-slip padding between the terrarium and the stand's top surface.
