PROPER SET-UP CONFIGURATIONS

We recommend that you use your Superyard only as an enclosure, not as a barrier.

See FIGURE 1 for proper configuration.

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Begin setting up your enclosure by unsnapping the gray carrying strap and carefully unfolding the panels to form a hexagon, as shown in FIGURE 2.

(NOTE: Model 8776 consists of eight panels which will form an octagon or square when set up properly.) The North States logo on the door panel should face out.

When you have finished unfolding the panels, there will be two unconnected panels arranged, as shown in FIGURE 3. Make certain that the pin in cylinder B is up as shown.

Begin connecting the panels together by gently lifting up on panel 2 and setting the opening “A” (as shown in FIGURE 4) over pin “B” located on panel

Now locate the slot on the lower end of cylinder “D”, as shown in FIGURE 5. This slot tapers to an opening that accommodates pin “C”.

Gently press down on panel 2 while aligning pin “C” with the slot in cylinder “D”. While maintaining downward pressure on panel 2, lift slightly on panel 1, 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 above.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING SKID-RESISTANT PADS

Your North States enclosure can now be used on hard surfaces (hardwood floors, tile, linoleum, etc.) by installing the enclosed skid-resistant pads.

1. Ensure that the surface of the yard panel is clean and dry prior to installing the pads.
2. Remove a single pad from the release paper as shown in FIGURE 6.
3. 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 7.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for each of the remaining pads.
5. Maximum skid-resistance will be maintained by cleaning the bottoms of the pads periodically with a water-dampened clean cloth.

DOOR OPERATION

Your enclosure comes from the factory with the door safety lock ‘LOCKED’. To unlock, move the center lock up to the unlocked position (as shown in FIGURE 8).

To OPEN the door, slide and keep holding top latch in pulled-back position. Lift door up and over threshold, then open out (as shown in FIGURE 9).

To CLOSE the door, slide and keep holding top latch in pulled-back position. Lift door up over threshold.

Engage door in frame catch as shown in FIGURE 10.

Set door down in threshold and release latch.

TO LOCK the door, move center lock down to locked position once child is secure.

TO DISCONNECT PANELS

To disconnect two adjoining panels, select one of the joints where the panel pushes down (panel 1), as shown in FIGURE 11.

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 5). Then lift up on panel 1 until opening “A” (see FIGURE 4) 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 is accomplished by first following the “DISCONNECT PANELS” instructions above.

Gently fold the panels (without jerking them or slamming them together) in alternating directions like an accordion. FIGURE 12 illustrates the configuration of a properly folded yard.

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 at www.northstatesind.com
Remove the broken panel by following the “TO DISCONNECT PANELS” instructions (above).
Install the replacement panel by following the “SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS” (page 3).
