12. Install a GRATE and TRAY into tracks through the lower opening in each FRONT PANEL. The tray
can be in the upper track for use without a grate, if desired. Note that the track rails are sloped to
more effectively direct debris into the tray.
13. Install a GRATE through the opening at the top of the LOWER FRONT PANEL. This divides the
lower cage from the LIGHT BOX. This grate can be left out to increase the height of the lower cage,
or to completely join the cage vertically.
14. Install a GRATE through the opening at the top of the LIGHT BOX. This grate divides the LIGHT
BOX from the module above, and provides a place from which to hang a full spectrum light (light
and mounting hardware not included). This grate can be left out to completely join the cage
vertically.
15. If joining the cage completely vertically, use the FILL IN PANEL. It mounts to the back of the hinged
door on the LIGHT BOX. When the LIGHT BOX DOOR is closed, the FILL IN PANEL covers the
tray/grate opening in the upper cage module. If not joining the cage, this panel is not used.
16. Install CUPHOLDERS from inside the cage. The pegs insert into the tubes welded at the sides of
the opening. When the food doors are closed the cupholders are locked in place.
17. To install each LATCH, first remove the knob by unthreading it. Ensure the spring is placed over
the round end of latch. Insert the latch and spring into the lock sleeve so that the round end
protrudes through the opposite end, and the angled surface faces in. Position the latch so that the
threaded hole is visible through the front keyhole shaped opening and screw the knob through the
lock sleeve into the threaded hole on the latch. Turn counter-clockwise to loosen and open the
door. When securing the door, tighten clockwise all the way to the “lock” position.
Note that the latches for the LIGHT BOX DOOR should be installed with the angled surface facing
out – the round ball screws in from the side opposite that shown in the illustration.
Also note that a “door within a door” has been added to the front panels since this diagram was
drawn.

assemble a similar cage.
