Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two adults due to the weight and size of the components. The package weighs approximately 103.6 pounds. Follow these general steps for assembly:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out and compare them against the package contents list.
- Prepare the Base: Begin by placing the top wooden panel (which will temporarily serve as the base during assembly) on a clean, flat, and protected surface.
- Attach Side Panels: Securely attach the side wooden panels and iron frame sections to the temporary base using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Install Doors: Attach the door panels to the designated frame sections. Test the latches to ensure smooth operation.
- Attach Bottom Panel: With assistance, carefully position and secure the bottom wooden panel to the assembled frame. This step may require one person to support the structure while another fastens the panel.
- Flip the Crate: With the help of another person, carefully flip the assembled crate upright.
- Install Rotating Feeder: Attach the rotating feeder assembly to the side of the crate. Insert the stainless steel bowls into the feeder.

Operating Instructions
Using the Crate Doors
The Lyromix dog crate features two doors for flexible access. One door is located on the long side, and another on one of the short sides. Both doors are equipped with slide latches to secure your pet inside. To open, slide the latch and pull the door outwards. To close, push the door shut and engage the latch.
Adjusting the Rotating Feeder
The rotating feeder is designed for convenience, allowing you to provide food and water without opening the main crate doors. It features four adjustable height settings to accommodate dogs of various sizes. To adjust the height, loosen the fasteners, move the feeder to the desired height, and re-tighten the fasteners.

Multifunctional Use

Maintenance
Cleaning
- Wooden Surfaces: Wipe wooden panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Metal Bars: Clean metal bars with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Bowls: The stainless steel bowls are removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- Note: This crate does not include a removable bottom pan for cleaning. Any spills or accidents inside the crate should be cleaned directly from the bottom surface.
Regular Inspection
Periodically check all screws, bolts, and latches to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain the crate's stability and safety.
Troubleshooting
Loose Door Latches
If the door latches feel loose or rattle, inspect the mechanism. Ensure all screws securing the latch components are tight. If rattling persists, a small piece of felt or rubber padding can be applied to the contact points to reduce noise.
Crate Instability
If the crate feels unstable after assembly, re-check all connections. Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Verify that the crate is placed on a level surface. Adjusting the placement may resolve minor wobbles.
Difficulty with Feeder Rotation
If the rotating feeder is stiff or difficult to move, ensure no debris is obstructing its mechanism. A small amount of food-grade lubricant can be applied to the pivot points if necessary, but ensure it is safe for pets.

Choosing the Right Size
To ensure your dog's comfort, measure your standing dog and add 4 inches to both their length (from nose to tail base) and height (from floor to the tallest point of their head or ears). This provides ample space for them to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
