The assembly process involves securing the platforms and posts using the provided screws and washers, with specific steps outlined for each section of the cat tree. The wall anchor (H) is included for additional stability, allowing the cat tree to be secured to a wall to prevent tipping, especially in households with multiple or very active cats.
Usage Features
The PCT01 cat tree is intended for indoor use only, or for commercial use or outdoor use. Users are advised to follow the correct assembly steps and take necessary safety measures, such as wearing a pair of gloves, to avoid hand injuries. The firmness of all screws should be checked and tightened every 2 or 3 days after installation, and at least once a month thereafter.
Key usage features include:
- Multi-level design: Provides various heights for cats to climb and explore.
- Scratching posts: Wrapped with sisal rope, these posts allow cats to sharpen their claws, diverting them from furniture.
- Cat condo (C): Offers a private, enclosed space for cats to rest, hide, or feel secure.
- Lounging areas (D, E): Elevated platforms provide comfortable spots for napping and observing surroundings.
- Stability: The design, combined with the option for wall anchoring, ensures the cat tree remains stable during use, even with active cats.
It is crucial to keep children away from the cat tree during assembly and use. The product is not a toy. Do not stand or climb on the product to avoid the risk of injuries. Children should be supervised to prevent them from playing with the cat tree. Individuals with allergies should avoid assembling the product. Keep packaging materials (film, plastic bag, foam, etc.) out of the reach of children and babies to avoid choking, suffocation, and other potential risks.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safety of the PCT01 cat tree.
- Screw Tightening: Check and tighten all screws every 2 or 3 days after initial installation, and then at least once a month. This prevents the structure from becoming wobbly or unstable.
- Cleaning:
- For the cat condo (C), use a well-ventilated area for 3-5 days to eliminate any potential smell after unpacking.
- For daily care, do not clean with water or other liquid detergents. Always keep the cat tree dry.
- To remove hair, use a hair remover.
- For deep cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the surface, then wipe it dry immediately. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Keep the product away from heat sources, humidity, and corrosive chemicals.
- Do not put any other objects on the cat tree.
- Wall Anchor: If the product is placed on an uneven floor or in a high-traffic area, it is recommended to use the included anti-toppling fittings to secure it to the wall. This enhances stability and safety.
- Damage Check: Regularly inspect the cat tree for any damage or loose parts. If any part is damaged or worn, it should be replaced immediately.
- Odor Removal: If the product has an unpleasant odor, place it in a well-ventilated area for 3-5 days to eliminate the smell.
