- Mount the Cat Wheel: Securely attach the main wheel components using the provided fasteners. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Install the Running Pads: The carpeted running pads attach inside the wheel using Velcro. Align them carefully and press firmly to secure.
- Place on the Base: Position the assembled wheel onto the base, ensuring the rollers align correctly with the wheel's track.
- Attach the Safety Latch: Install the safety latch mechanism onto the base. This allows you to lock the wheel when not in use.
Once assembled, gently rotate the wheel by hand to ensure it moves smoothly and quietly.
5. Operating Instructions
Introducing Your Cat to the Wheel:
- Initial Familiarization: Place the wheel in a quiet, accessible area. Allow your cat to explore it at their own pace.
- Positive Reinforcement: Use treats or the included cat teaser toy to encourage your cat to step onto the running surface.
- Gentle Encouragement: Once your cat is on the wheel, gently entice them to walk or run using the teaser. Start with short sessions.
- Patience is Key: Some cats may take longer to adapt. Never force your cat onto the wheel. Keep training sessions positive and short.
Using the Locking Mechanism:
The exercise wheel features a locking mechanism to secure the wheel when not in use. Engage the latch to prevent rotation, which is useful for safety during transport or when you want to prevent your cat from using it. Disengage the latch for free movement.

- Cleaning the Wheel and Base: Wipe down the plastic surfaces of the wheel and base with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Roller Inspection: Periodically check the rollers on the base for any accumulated hair or debris that might impede smooth operation. Clean as necessary.
