Operating Instructions
Introducing Your Dog to the Treadmill
Begin by allowing your dog to explore the treadmill while it is stationary. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage them to step onto the running surface. Gradually introduce movement, starting with very slow speeds, and increase duration as your dog becomes comfortable.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Treadbelt
The oral-grade PE material of the slatmill is dust-resistant and easy to clean. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt, pet hair, or mud. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Troubleshooting
- Slats Flying Off: Ensure all screws securing the slats are tightened regularly. If slats continue to loosen, inspect for wear or damage and contact support.
- Rear Guides/Front Belt Wheel Damage: If these components break, the unit may become unusable. Contact customer support for official replacement parts. Avoid using non-standard replacements as they may compromise safety and performance.
- Wheels Not Fitting: If the mobility wheels do not fit into the framework during assembly, double-check the assembly instructions. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
- Distance Meter Not Functioning: Verify all connections to the distance meter are secure. If it remains non-functional after assembly, contact customer support for assistance.
- Pinch Points: While the design aims to minimize pinch points, always be aware of moving parts. If you observe areas where your dog's paws could be caught, adjust the gantry or supervise closely.
