Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Kullavik dog kennel requires careful attention to detail and is best performed by two people. Please follow these steps sequentially.

Tools Required:

• Wrench (often included or standard size)
• Pliers (optional, for tightening)
• Measuring Tape (for placement)

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and verify against the package contents list. Separate panels, hardware, and the roof cover.
2. Assemble Base Frame: Connect the bottom frame pieces using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten until the entire frame is assembled.
3. Attach Side Panels: Securely attach the side panels to the base frame and to each other using bolts and nuts. Pay attention to the orientation of the panels, especially the door panel.
4. Install Door and Locks: Integrate the door panel into the designated opening. Install the upgraded double lock mechanism as per the instructions provided with the hardware.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Kullavik dog kennel and ensure a safe environment for your pet.
