7. Reach in the home and pull the door panel toward you until it fits into the clips on the side

To Operate the Doors

Lift the handle 90° so the locking tip will clear the wire on the front panel, then slide the bolt to the left and swing the door open.
To close, swing the door back toward the crate, push the door firmly against crate, lift the handle to a 90° angle and slide the bolt to the right, making sure the locking tip engages on the right side of the wire on the front panel. Be sure the handle is in the down position.

Removing the Plastic Pan

The pan stop is under the front door panel on the wire that touches the floor. The pan stop wraps behind and then over the bottom wire of the front door panel to create a barrier that prevents the pan from sliding out of the crate. To remove the plastic pan for cleaning, disengage the pan stop and slide out the plastic pan. When the pan is in the crate, make sure it is secured with the pan stop fully engaged.

Installing the Optional Divider Panel

When your puppy is small, the crate may be too big, leaving them to sleep in one end of the crate and go to the bathroom in the other end. A divider panel adds versatility to your crate, allowing you to adjust the length of your puppy’s living space as they grow.

Determine the appropriate length of living space your puppy will require at their current size. Make sure your puppy will have enough room to turn around and lie down comfortably. Place the divider panel inside the crate, through the front door, with the hooks facing away from the front door panel and away from the dog’s living area.

Position the divider panel as close to the bottom pan as possible but just high enough to allow the pan to slide in and out of the crate. Starting at the bottom, attach the divider panel’s hooks to one side of the crate and work upward.
Then, on the opposite side, start from the bottom and hook the other side of the divider panel to the crate.
Note: If you have a two-door crate, attach the divider panel to the door side FIRST, then move to the other side.

To Fold and Transport the Crate

Fold down the crate by reversing the assembly process starting at step 6.
Attach the plastic lock latch on the open side of the folded crate. It will snap onto the second horizontal wire from the bottom, just above the plastic pan. Wrap the lock latch over the top of the folded crate to secure it closed.
The plastic handles are provided to transport the crate when it is in the folded position and are not intended for use when the crate is fully assembled. When attaching a plastic handle, place it on the opposite side of the plastic lock latch. To remove the handle from the crate, push down firmly until it disengages. Do not twist the handle to remove it.

Maintenance

To protect the finish of your crate and the bottom pan, use only mild, non- abrasive cleaners and water. Any coarse scrubbing or abrasive materials could damage finish.
Do not expose the plastic pan to direct sunlight for extended periods of time as this may lead to warping or damage to the pan. To help reduce noise, place a piece of carpet or cut a piece from the crate carton and place it inside the crate beneath the pan.
