8. Fitting Instructions (See Figs. 6 to 10)
IMPORTANT:
• Do not cut tunnel (B, Fig. 1) of cat ap.
• To check that your cat’s microchip is correctly positioned
and functioning, we strongly recommend you program
the cat ap for all your cats before installation (See
Section 3). Then check the cat’s microchip operates the
catch (C, Fig. 1) when the cat’s head is pushed gently
against the ap as shown in Fig. 2.
• For UPVC / metal doors thicker than 35mm (1
3
/8”) use a
Cat Mate Cat Flap Adapter Kit (Ref. 361).
• For UPVC / metal doors it is essential to retune the cat
ap after tting (see below).
