Installation as a Freestanding Enclosure
Begin setting up your enclosure by unsnapping the
gray carrying strap and carefully unfolding the panels
to form a hexagon. See Figure 9.
When you have nished unfolding the panels, there
will be two unconnected panels arranged as shown in
Figure 10. Make certain that the pin in Cylinder B is up
as shown.
Begin connecting the panels together by gently lifting
up on panel 2 and setting the Opening A (as shown in
Figure 11) over Pin B located on panel 1.
Now locate the slot on the lower end of Cylinder D.
See Figure 12. This slot tapers to an opening that
accommodates Pin C.
Gently press down on panel 2 while aligning Pin C
with the the slot in Cylinder D. While maintaining
downward pressure on panel 2, lift slightly on panel 1,
and slide Pin C through the slot and into the opening
as shown.
Extension Installation
Some models have two-panel extensions that are
colored appropriately for your yard and are
available either from your retailer or direct from
www.northstatesind.com
The extension contains two additional panels that
enable you to expand the size of your enclosure
from 18.5 square feet to 34.4 square feet.
The extension is installed by following the
"Installation as a Freestanding Enclosure" that
appear above.
To Disconnect Panels
To disconnect two adjoining panels, select one of
the joints where the panel pushes down (panel 1), as
shown in Figure 13. Gently press down on panel 1
while lifting slightly on panel 2. This will enable you
to slide Pin C free of Cylinder D (see Figure 12). Then
lift up on panel 1 until Opening A (see Figure 11) is
free of Pin B.
Folding for Transport or Storage
Your gate folds compactly for transport or storage. You must,
however, fold the panels properly. Gently fold the panels
(without jerking them or slamming them together) in
alternating directions like an accordion. Figure 13 illustrates
the con guration of a properly folded gate. Slip one end of the
gray carrying strap through the mesh near the top middle of
each outside panel and snap it closed. The gate is now ready
for transport or storage.
Cleaning Instructions
Your gate is manufactured from durable, weather-resistant plastic
panels. To clean, wash the panels with mild, non-abrasive
detergent, rinse with clean water, and allow to dry thoroughly.
Replacing a Panel
A broken panel can easily be replaced by obtaining one from
the manufacturer at www.northstatesind.com
Remove the broken panel by following the "To Disconnect Panels" instructions (above).
Install the replacement panel by following the "Installation as a Freestanding Enclosure".
