5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Using the Sliding Doors

The COZPAW dog crate features smooth-gliding barn doors for easy access. To open, simply slide the door along its track. To close, slide it back into position and engage the secure latch at the bottom to prevent your pet from opening it.

5.2 Adjusting the Divider

The internal divider can be removed to create a single, larger space or kept in place to separate two pets. To remove the divider, locate the four bolts (two at the top, two at the bottom) securing it. Unscrew these bolts to detach and remove the divider. Reinstall by aligning the divider and securing the bolts.

6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down wooden surfaces with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. For metal mesh, use a soft brush or cloth to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
• Wood Care: To preserve the wood finish, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight.
• Metal Care: The metal components are chew-resistant and coated for durability. If any coating is scratched, touch up with pet-safe paint to prevent rust.

7. Troubleshooting

• Doors not sliding smoothly: Check the tracks for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the rollers are properly aligned and free from damage. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the tracks if needed.
• Divider not fitting correctly: Verify that the divider is oriented correctly and that all four bolts are aligned with their respective holes before tightening.
• Crate feels unstable: Re-check all assembly connections and tighten any loose screws. Ensure the crate is placed on a flat, level surface.
