PROPER SET-UP CONFIGURATIONS
We recommend that you use your Superyard only as an enclosure, not as a
barrier. See for proper configuration.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING SKID-RESISTANT PADS
Your North States enclosure can be used on hard surfaces (hardwood floors, tile, linoleum, etc.) by installing the enclosed skid-resistant pads.
- Ensure that the surface of the yard panel is clean and dry prior to installing the pads.
- Remove a single pad from the release paper as shown in FIGURE 2.
- Place the adhesive side of the pad on the bottom edge of the yard panel approximately 2” from the center of each hinge, as shown in FIGURE 3.
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 for each of the remaining pads.
- Maximum skid resistance will be maintained by cleaning the bottoms of the pads periodically with a water-dampened clean cloth.
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Begin setting up your enclosure by unsnapping the gray carrying strap and
carefully unfolding the panels to the proper configuration as shown on page 3.
(NOTE: Models 8768/8777 consist of eight panels which will form an octagon or
square when set up properly. Model 8809 consists of four panels which will
form a square.)
Once the panels are unfolded and formed into the (unconnected) shape of a
hexagon/octagon/ square, confirm that the dark gray carpet foot (D) is facing
upwards, as shown in FIGURE 4.
Begin connecting the
panels together by gently lifting up on panel 1 and setting the opening “A”
(as shown in FIGURE 5) over pin “B” located on panel 2.
Locate the slot on the lower end of cylinder “D” as shown in FIGURE 6. This
slot tapers to an opening that accommodates pin “C”.
Gently press down on panel 1 while aligning pin “C”
with the slot in cylinder “D”. While maintaining downward pressure on panel 1,
lift slightly on panel 2, and slide pin “C” through the slot and into the
opening as shown.
EXTENSION INSTALLATION
Some models have two-panel extensions that are colored appropriately for your
yard and are available either from your retailer or direct from
www.northstatesind.com
The extension contains two additional panels that enable you to expand the
size of your enclosure from 18.5 square feet to 34.4 square feet.
The extension is installed by following the “SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS” that appear
on page 3.
TO OPEN ENCLOSURE
To disconnect two adjoining panels, select one of the joints where a dark gray
carpet foot is facing up, as shown in FIGURE 7.
Gently press down on panel 1 while lifting slightly on panel 2. This will
enable you to slide pin “C” free of cylinder “D” (see figure 6). Then lift up
on panel 1 until opening “A” (see gure 5) is free of pin “B”.
FOLDING FOR TRANSPORT OR STORAGE
Your enclosure folds compactly for transport or
storage. You must, however, fold the panels properly. Disassembly and folding
are accomplished by following the “TO OPEN
ENCLOSURE” instructions above.
Gently fold the panels (without jerking them or slamming them together) in
alternating directions like an accordion as shown in FIGURE 8.
Slip one end of the gray carrying strap through the mesh near the top middle
of each outside panel and snap it closed. The enclosure is now ready for
transport or storage
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Your enclosure is manufactured from durable, weather-resistant plastic panels. To clean, wash the panels with mild, non-abrasive detergent, rinse with clean water, and allow to dry thoroughly.
REPLACING A PANEL
A broken panel can easily be replaced by obtaining one from the manufacturer.
www.northstatesind.com
Remove the broken panel by following the “TO OPEN ENCLOSURE” instructions
(above).
Install the replacement panel by following the “SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS” (page 3).
