Connect the Wire Panels

Place the Front Wire Panel w/ Door (E) so the spring loaded door latch opens downward. Place the Back Wire Panel (F) so that the opening for the bottle nozzle is on the bottom. Connect the Front Wire Panel w/ Door (E) to the Back Wire Panel (F) by hooking the wire into each other (as pictured).

Fill Scatter-less Base with Bedding

Fill the Scatter-less Base (A) with a liberal amount of bedding material. (Not Included)

Attach Wire Panels

Place the assembled Front Wire Panel w/ Door (E) and the assembled Back Wire Panel (F) on to the Scatter-less Base (A). The Wire Panel Assembly should fit inside the tabs of the Scatter-less Base (A). To secure, snap the two Side Latches (G) on the Scatter-less Base (A) to the Wire Panel Assembly (E & F).

Assemble Comfort Shelves

Click-lock two blue Bubble Wave J-Tubes (I) into each of the circular openings on the bottom of the Comfort Shelves (H).

Install Comfort Shelves

Install the assembled Comfort Shelves (H) through the open top. Position the right-side Comfort Shelf (H) with the Bubble Wave J-Tube (I) facing the back of the cage. Position the left-side comfort shelf (H) with J-Tube (I) facing the front of the cage. Place the Comfort Shelves on the 16 th wire bar from the bottom.

Bubble Wave Wheel Assembly

Insert the Wheel Connector Clip (L) into the center hole of the Bubble Wave Wheel (K). Install the Bubble Wave Wheel (K) through the open top. Attach the Bubble Wave Wheel (K) to the center of the Back Wire Panel (F) between the fifth and sixth wire bars up from the bottom. Twist the Connector Clip (L) half way to lock wheel into place.

Tip: To keep your Bubble Wave Wheel silent, place a drop of vegetable oil directly on the spindle of the Wheel Connector Clip.

Roof Top Attachment and Petting Zone

First, attach a Roof Top Passageway (R) with Latch Assembly (G) to the left and right side of the Roof Top. Press firmly, the Assembly snaps tightly into Roof Top.
Place the Roof Top (B) onto the top of the assembled bottom portion of the habitat. Line up the Roof Top (B) over the assembled Wire Panel Assembly (E & F). To secure, connect the two Side Latches (G) on the Roof Top (B) to the Wire Panel Assembly (E & F).

Next, insert the assembled Petting Zone (C/D) into the large hole on the Roof Top (B) so that the opening in the Petting Zone is aligned with the hole in the Right Side Passageway.

Note: Once Assembly snaps into place, it should not be removed.

Accessory Attachment

Using the Fun-nel Connector Ring (J) attach the remaining two Bubble Wave J-Tubes (I) together. Slide the assembled tubes onto the circular openings on the right side. This will allow your pet to have access to the Petting Zone. Lock the Bubble Plug (M) into the bottom circular opening on the left side. Slide the Twist Lock Opening Cap (Q) downward into the top opening on the left side. To lock, turn the gap so it faces downward. To unlock turn the gap so it faces upward and slide up.

Hint: Accessory Access Holes
There are four unused access holes that will allow you unlimited expansion of your pet's home with the use of CritterTrail Add-on accessories. DO NOT punch out the additional access holes until you are ready to expand your pet's home and have already purchased your accessories! Access holes CANNOT be closed once opened. To close an opened access hole on the Roof Top (B) you will need to use a CritterTrail 10" Fun-nel #100079222 with any of the Critter Trail Fun-nel Tube accessories.

Removing Petting Zone

The entire Petting Zone can be removed for use as a temporary pet carrier, or to hold your pet while you clean its cage. Simply remove the Petting Zone from the Roof Top and insert the Petting Zone Cap (P) into the opening of the Petting Zone. (Do not leave your pet unattended in the removable Petting Zone.)

Special Note: The Petting Zone Cap (P) can also be used to close off the Roof Top openings in the CritterTrail Two Level Habitat unit.

Using the Water Bottle and Food Dish

To fill Water Bottle (N), remove the twist off cap with rubber stopper. Fill Bottle completely by placing it under a light stream of running water. Close the bottle by pushing in the rubber stopper and twisting the cap. Turn the bottle upright and allow the vacuum to form. You may experience a few initial drips.
Locate the attached wire bottle holder and bottle sipper tube hole location on the Back Wire Panel (F). Place the sipper tube into the hole and pull the wire holder down to secure the bottle in place. When refilling your Water Bottle, never squeeze it. This may cause a fracture in the plastic and make it impossible for the necessary vacuum to form
.

Note: Temperature fluctuations and excessive cage vibrations sometimes cause occasional dripping. Whenever you move your CritterTrail Two Level Habitat always remove the Water Bottle.

Place a quality food mixture (Not Included) into your pet's Round Food Dish (O). Place the Round Food Dish (O) into any corner of your new CritterTrail habitat. Do not place Food Dish (O) under the Water Bottle (N).

Cleaning Your Unit

Remove the Bubble-wave J-Tube construction and set aside. Push the bottom Side Latches (G) down and lift the entire upper assembly off the Scatter-less Base (A). Set the assembly on a flat surface while you empty the Base (A). For better results, remove the Bubble-wave Wheel (K) from the Back Wire Panel (F). Also, remove the 6" J-Tubes (I) from the Shelves (H).

Empty and wash the Scatter-less Base (A) with soap and water or spray with Super Pet Clean Cage (Item #100079553), and wipe dry. Super Pet Clean Cage neutralizes odors, safely cleans surfaces, and is non-toxic to all pets.

After cleaning, replace the soiled bedding. Place the upper cage portion back onto the Scatter-less Base (A). Line up the grooves and gently press down. Press up on the Bottom Side Clips to secure the cage assembly. Reattach the J-Tube construction to the side openings and any other parts removed during cleaning.
