Instructions
For your convenience, we recommend assembling the Evolv in the location you plan to place it. 1. Before beginning assembly, determine your preferred orientation for the front door and side door (option A or option B). Please note that the door handles must meet at the same corner of the crate 2. For the first few steps of assembly, you will be assembling the crate upside-down. Arrange the front and side door panels based on your preferred orientation option: For option A, stand the panels on the floor so that the door handles meet at the LEFT side of the crate. For option B stand the panels on the floor so that the door handles meet at the RIGHT side of the crate. 3. Slide the post and hole features together to connect the front and side door panels. 4. Connect the remaining side wall and back wall panels using the post and hole features until all 4 sides are connected and standing on the floor. 5. Place the base frame, notched side down, on the top of the 4 side panels. 6.Install the bottom corners: 6a. Locate the 4 bottom corner connectors (bottom corners have a base plate and circular “foot”) and rotate the knob into the open position. 6b. Hold the base frame and side panels together with one hand. With the foot facing up, place the bottom corner connector over the intersection of the frames. 6c. Press the corner firmly against the frames, and rotate the knob clockwise until the shapes are aligned and the corner is locked together. 6d. Check the inside of the crate to ensure that the frames are completely captured by the rotating triangle on the corner connectors. 6e. Starting with the opposite corner, repeat this process for the remaining 3 bottom corners, continuing to check for proper connection at each one 7 Flip the crate over so the feet on the bottom corners sit on the floor. For the Intermediate, Large and XL crate sizes we recommend 2 people flip the crate 8. Insert the tray into the bottom of the crate through the opening where the ceiling will be installed. The tray will nest within the notch in the bottom frame. 9. If you need to install the puppy divider, please continue with step 9a. If your dog is fully grown, continue to step 10. 9a. Insert the puppy divider feet into the pair of base holes that are most appropriate to the size of your dog. 9b. At the top of the divider, align the locking pins with the corresponding holes in the frame, and slide them towards the outside of the crate until they snap into the locked position. 10. Place the ceiling panel, notched side down, on the top of the 4 side panels. 11. Install the top corners: 11a. Locate the 4 top corner connectors and rotate the knob into the open position. 11b. Hold the base frame and side panels together with one hand. Place the top corner connector over the intersection of the frames 11c. Press the corner firmly against the frames, and rotate the knob clockwise until the shapes are aligned and the corner is locked together. 11d. Check the inside of the crate to ensure that the frames are completely captured by the rotating triangle on the corner connectors. 11e. Starting with the opposite corner, repeat this process for the remaining 3 top corners, continuing to check for proper connection at each one
