After assembly, place the included bottom pad inside the crate for your pet's comfort.

4. Operating Guidelines

Placement:

Position the crate on a flat, stable surface. For indoor use, choose a quiet area away from drafts or direct sunlight. For outdoor use, ensure the crate is placed in a shaded area and protected from extreme weather conditions.

Inspection:

Regularly inspect the crate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Ensure all connectors and latches are secure. If any part is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts or advice.

6. Troubleshooting

• Crate feels unstable after assembly: Double-check all screw nuts and connectors to ensure they are tightened securely. Refer to the assembly instructions (Section 3) and Image 3.1 to confirm correct panel orientation and connection points.
• Door does not latch securely: Inspect the dual latches and the corresponding receivers on the frame. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Verify that the door panel is installed correctly and not bent.
• Pet attempts to escape: Ensure the crate size is appropriate for your pet. For persistent escape attempts, consider additional training or consulting a professional pet trainer. Always ensure the latches are fully engaged.
• Rust or corrosion appears: While the crate is designed to resist rust, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh conditions can affect the coating. Ensure the crate is dried thoroughly after cleaning or rain. For minor spots, a rust-inhibiting paint designed for metal can be applied after cleaning.
