Operating Instructions

Door Operation

The crate features two doors for easy access. To open, slide the latch mechanism and pull the door outwards. To close, push the door shut and engage the latch firmly to secure it.

Using Lockable Wheels

The crate is equipped with 360° lockable wheels for convenient mobility. To move the crate, unlock all four wheels. To secure the crate in a stationary position, press down on the locking mechanism on each wheel until it clicks into place.

Removable Tray

The plastic tray at the bottom of the crate can be easily pulled out for cleaning. Ensure the tray is fully inserted before closing the doors.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Crate

• Removable Tray: The plastic tray can be easily removed and washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the crate.
• Wooden Surfaces: Wipe wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Metal Grates: Clean metal grates with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a pet-safe cleaner.

Regular Inspection

Periodically check all screws, bolts, and latches to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose hardware as needed to maintain the crate's stability and safety.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Crate feels unstable or wobbly.

Solution: Check all assembly hardware (screws, bolts) and tighten them securely. Ensure the crate is placed on a flat, level surface. If using wheels, ensure all locks are engaged when stationary.

Issue: Doors do not close or latch properly.

Solution: Verify that the crate frame is assembled squarely. Check hinges for proper alignment and ensure no obstructions are preventing the door from closing fully. Adjust latches if necessary.

Issue: Dog is chewing on the crate.

Solution: While the crate features chew-resistant metal tubes, persistent chewing can cause damage. Provide appropriate chew toys for your dog. Consider using a chew deterrent spray on non-metal parts if chewing persists.
