The Skudo Travel Carrier is a pet carrier designed for the safe and comfortable transport of well-trained pets. It is available in three models: 1427TSG, 1432TSG, and 1436TSG, which likely correspond to different sizes. The carrier is approved for use on most major airlines, though it is recommended to check with the specific airline for their specifications prior to booking.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Skudo Travel Carrier is to provide a secure and comfortable enclosure for pets during travel. It features a robust design with a carrier bottom and top, a door with a spring-loaded latch, and assembly buckles to secure the two halves. The carrier is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing for compact storage when not in use. It also offers flexibility in door installation, allowing for right-to-left or left-to-right opening, or complete removal to create an open, den-like environment for the pet. Optional rolling casters can be attached for easier maneuverability.

Usage Features:

Assembly:
1. Attach the Locking Door Hinges to both the Carrier Bottom and Carrier Top as shown in the instructions. Care should be taken to attach them correctly as removal can be difficult.
2. Attach the Storage Compartment Lid. For the 27" carrier, it comes unattached, while for the 32" and 36" carriers, they are pre-attached.
3. Set the Carrier Bottom on a flat surface and attach the Assembly Buckles. The Yellow Buckle Hinges snap into place in the provided spaces. Keeping the Assembly Buckle and Yellow Buckle Hinge in a "V" formation facilitates attachment.
4. Place the Carrier Top on the Carrier Bottom. Before locking the buckles, attach the door by inserting the bottom door prong into the hole on the left side of the Carrier Bottom. Lift the Carrier Top to insert the top door prong into the Carrier Top. Lower the Carrier Top onto the Carrier Bottom and secure them by locking the Assembly Buckles.
Door Operation: To open the door, squeeze the tabs to disengage the spring-loaded prongs, then swing the door open. Push the orange tab to lock the door.
Door Options:
- Removal: The door can be removed by twisting the Locking Door Hinges forward, creating an open, den-like environment for the pet.
- Left-to-Right Opening: The door can be installed with the locking mechanism on the left, allowing it to open left-to-right. To do this, twist the Locking Door Hinges toward you, re-install the door with the locking mechanism on the left, then twist the Locking Door Hinges inward toward the center of the carrier to secure it in the locked position.
Pull Handle: To use the pull handle, release the locks near the carrying handles and swing the pull handle up and over to the front of the carrier.
Disassembly for Storage:
1. Release the Assembly Buckles by pushing the yellow buttons to disengage them.
2. Lift up on the Carrier Top, remove the Door, and completely remove the Carrier Top.
3. The Door and Carrier Top can be nested inside the Carrier Bottom for compact storage.
Caster Attachment (Optional): Turn the carrier upside down and push the tabs on the carrier feet to release the caster mounts. Slide the casters into the caster mounts, then re-attach the caster mounts to the Carrier Bottom.
Safety Precautions:
- Supervision is required when pets are in the carrier.
- Remove collar, tags, and leads from the pet before placing it in the carrier to prevent entanglement.
- The carrier contains small parts; keep out of reach of children.
- For air travel, it is recommended to use plastic ties in the multiple tie-down locations in the corners for added security.

Cleaning: To protect the finish of the travel carrier, use only mild, non-abrasive cleaners and water. Course scrubbing or abrasive materials could damage the plastic.
Packaging Retention: Keep all packaging material until the product is assembled. In case of return or exchange, failure to return the product in similar condition as received could result in limited reimbursement.
