getting started!
READ THESE NOTES FIRST:
• Enlist A Friend:
Cage requires two people to assemble,
as panels need to be held in place while others are installed.
• Count Hardware:
If any screws are missing, please
contact Prevue Customer Service.
• Review All Parts:
If wires are bent during shipping,
they may be straightened with needle nose pliers. For seriously
damaged pieces, please contact Prevue Customer Service.
•
Tools:
You will need needle nose pliers to remove slugs and
straighten wires. An allen wrench is included. You may use your
own hand tool with an allen wrench bit.
We
DO NOT
recommend
power drills.
Parts can be over-tightened and damaged /
stripped. Prevue is not responsible for this type of damage.
Review these instructions thoroughly before attempting to
assemble cage. If you still require assistance, please contact
