SECTION TWO, SAFE USE PROCEDURES
Safe Use Procedures
Kat Klowder Models
Shor-Line's Kat Klowder is available with a sliding door or with a Dutch door. Both models
are designed to collapse (fold) into itself to free up oor space when not in use and while
moving the unit to di󰀨erent locations.
Safe Moving And Handling Practices
FIGURE 2.1 - Proper Moving Direction (Top View)
PATH OF
TRAVEL
PATH OF
TRAVEL
TOP VIEW
When the Kat Klowder is left unattended and in the collapsed position, always
disengage the casters to prevent the unit from unintentional movement.
The Kat Klowder should only be moved in the collapsed (folded) conguration with all
four casters engaged and the panel retaining pin in the locked position holding the closed
assembly together.
The unit is raised 1/2 inch above the oor surface when the casters are engaged, only move
along level paths. Take special care to maintain control of the unit when passing over oor
transition and through doorways. Verify width and height requirements.
Use other personnel to clear the path-ahead prior to moving through populated areas. Clear
the pathway of extensions cords or any obstructions.
During set-up, leave an accessible gap between the unit back panel and the wall surface.
The unit will tilt backwards once the back panel is lowered to the oor, take care not to
damage wall surfaces or the unit. The gap between the back panel and the wall is also
important to have access to the foot operated casters.
Enlist help and USE SAFE LIFTING PRACTICES during assembly, installation and
moving equipment.
Ensure the Kat Klowder is level during use and when stowed to prevent possible tipping
which, if not avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Keep the area clear of personnel and animals when raising and lowering the unit.
Maintain full control of the unit when operating the caster foot operated pedal, which if
not avoided, could result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
Do NOT attempt to set-up, collapse or move the Kat Klowder with one person; the unit
could tip causing personal injury and/or damage to the product could occur.
ALWAYS use at least two people to move the Kat Klowder, safely maintaining control
from each end of the unit.
ONLY move the Kat Klowder in the directions indicated on the warning label located on
the back of the unit. The unit could tip causing personal injury and/or damage to the
product could occur.

SECTION TWO
Set-up Procedures
The following procedures require two people to safely set-up the Kat
Klowder. Both sides of the unit must unfold simultaneously.
The Kat Klowder unfolds like an accordion, but the back panel must be stabilized by resting
on the oor. Lowering the unit disengages the back panel casters and will prevent the back
panel from moving during the set-up procedures.
The front casters should be engaged (touching the oor) and the back casters should be
disengaged (raised above oor) for these procedures.
Use the foot operated pedal to lower the rear casters on the back panel during the set-up
and collapsing procedures. Refer to Caster Operation to control the caster position.
Enlist help and USE SAFE LIFTING PRACTICES during assembly, installation and
moving unit.
Ensure the Kat Klowder is level during use and
when stowed to prevent possible tipping which,
if not avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH.
Keep the area clear of personnel and animals
when raising and lowering the unit. Maintain full
control of the unit when operating the caster foot
operated pedal, which if not avoided, could result
in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
STEP 1: Retaining pin - Slide the pin out of the pin
receiver. Repeat this step for each side. See
FIGURE 2.2
STEP 2: Unfold the Panels - Simultaneously (both sides) lift the top panel up to clear
the panels while pulling out the front panel. Careful to raise the top panel high
enough to clear the front and side panels as they slide out from under the top
panel, until the unit is fully extended. Hand placement is important while unfolding
the wall panels. See FIGURE 2.3
Right hand side: Right hand on top panel
handle, left hand on wall panel handle.
(Left hand side shown)
Left hand side: Left hand on top panel

STEP 4: Top Panel Latch - Unlatch the top panel by
rotating the latch lever clear of the screw
head. Repeat this step for both the right and
left sides.
STEP 5: Flip the top panel over to meet the front
panel top rail. See FIGURE 2.4
NOTE: Maintain full control of the top panel
on both sides during this step. Do NOT
allow the top to slam down.
Keep hands clear of possible pinch areas when moving parts which, if not avoided,
could result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
STEP 6: Front Pin - Align the top panel pin (panel center) with front panel top track.
NOTE: Pull the front panel frame outward to help align the center pin with track.
The pin rests inside the door frame track, preventing the door panel from sliding
in or out during use.
STEP 7: Casters - Once the Kat Klowder is in the correct location and is clear of people
and obstructions, safely disengage the front panel casters.
Collapse Procedures
The following procedures require two people to safely collapse (fold) the Kat Klowder. Both
sides of the unit must be folded simultaneously. Do not attempt to collapse the Kat Klowder
while the space is occupied. Clear the unit of all animals and debris and fold-up all perch
shelves in their full upright position.
The front casters should be engaged (touching the oor) and the back casters should be
disengaged (raised above oor) for these procedures. Use the foot operated pedal to raise
and lower the casters as needed.
When the Kat Klowder is left unattended and in the collapsed position, always
disengage the casters to prevent the unit from unintentional movement.
Ensure the Kat Klowder is level during use and when stowed to prevent possible tipping
which, if not avoided, could result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Keep the area clear of personnel and animals
when raising and lowering the unit. Maintain full
control of the unit when operating the caster
foot operated pedal, which if not avoided, could
result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
STEP 1: Flip the top panel over onto the other half of
the top panel, secure by using the latch on
both ends. See FIGURE 2.5
Keep hands clear of possible pinch areas
when moving parts which, if not avoided,
could result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.

pin receiver and lower the front casters.
Repeat for both the right and left sides. See
FIGURE 2.7
STEP 5: Slowly lower the top panel down-over the
front panel.
Keep hands clear of possible pinch areas
when moving parts which, if not avoided,
could result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
Shelf Operation
During movement and storage, the shelves should be in the stowed position,
upright. The shelves pivot on their wall brackets. Rotate the shelf upward for the
stowed position.
The shelves must be in the upright, stowed position when collapsing the unit.
Collapsing the unit with the shelves in the down position WILL damage the unit.
Caster Operation
The front panel casters should be operated
simultaneously and the back panel casters should be
operated simultaneously. Hold the unit when raising
or lowering the casters, a slight lift of the unit lessons
the load while depressing or releasing the caster foot
operated pedal. See FIGURE 2.8
Keep the area clear of personnel and animals
when raising and lowering the unit. Maintain full
control of the unit when operating the caster
foot operated pedal, which if not avoided, could
result in MINOR to MODERATE INJURY.
When the Kat Klowder is left unattended and in the collapsed position, always
disengage the casters to prevent the unit from unintentional movement.

Maintenance And Care
General Maintenance & Care
Maintenance Recommendations
Routine maintenance will extend the quality and life of Shor-Line products.
It is the owners responsibility to set-up scheduled maintenance programs, depending on
use of the equipment. Scheduled preventive maintenance should include, but not limited
to daily or weekly inspections and maintenance of products to prolong its longevity and
to help maintain proper product functions.
• Follow manufacturers cleaning and maintenance recommendations outlined in product literature
provided for components not included in these recommendations. Congurations/component parts
may vary.
• Check alignment of operable panels, doors and components to ensure operation is free of
obstructions. Adjust as required.
Care Recommendations
Routine product care will extend the quality and life of Shor-Line products and aids in
protecting animals from transmittable diseases and infections.
Avoid ammonia-based cleaners that are typically used on glass windows. These chemical
cleaners can damage acrylic surfaces, leaving them looking cloudy and dull. Do NOT use
any commercial window cleaning sprays unless they are non-abrasive and specically
recommended for acrylic.
Always use soft, clean microber cloth for cleaning and blot drying acrylic surfaces. Mild
soap and water mixture (3 drops per gallon of water) is recommended for cleaning acrylic
surfaces. Blot dry all surfaces to help deter water spots.
Safe Cleaning Practices
• Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will complete the job e󰀨ectively. Ordinary waste deposits
and uids can usually be removed with soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse
thoroughly with clear water and dry completely with a soft cloth to discourage hard-water spotting.
• Minor scale build up and some hard water spotting can be removed by washing with a vinegar
diluted mixture followed by a clear water rinse and thorough drying.
• Bleach, deodorizing agents, disinfectants, and sanitizers can corrode stainless steel, thoroughly
rinse all surfaces treated with these chemicals with a clear water rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
• If scrubbing is required, use only polymer or nylon ber products made for use with polymer or
nylon materials.
• Always rinse with clear water and dry of all surfaces treated with cleaning, sterilization solutions.
Unsafe Cleaning Practices (NOT Recommended)
• Do NOT use a dry cloth or wipe clear polymer surfaces which can scratch if dust/dirt is wiped with
the hand or dry cloth.
• Polymer materials can discolor if exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet rays. Avoid direct sun exposure.
• Do NOT use ammonia or bleaches to clean polymer surfaces.
• Do NOT allow uids to accumulate, puddle without removing and completely drying the
surfaces and components. Standing water/uids are a hazard and can cause damage to
component materials.
• Do NOT use scouring powders that will scratch polymer nishes.
Steel wool or steel brushes should never be used to clean stainless steel or polymer
surfaces, avoid abrasive cleaning techniques/supplies.
