Section 1: Unpacking & Inspecting Shipment
{Unpacking & Inspecting Steps}
Step 1
The Kat Play-Around requires assembly. As in the example above, the component parts are shipped on skids with
protective wrap. Upon receipt the parts for your Kat Play-Around should be carefully examined for possible damage
in shipment. If damage is found, notify Shor-Line immediately at 800-444-1579.
Step 2
Review Section 11: Shor-Line warranty information. For more information, visit: shor-line.com/warranty.
Then click the Damages/Returns/Repairs link on the left.
Step 3
Remove and separate all contents from the shipping containers. Locate the Packing Slip that describes the parts
and quantities shipped. Use the Packing Slip to ensure nothing has been lost.
Step 4
Check content for concealed damage.
If Concealed Damage:
Call Shor-Line immediately at 800-444-1579 so we may expedite replacements or repairs.
IMPORTANT: After fteen (15) calendar days of receipt of merchandise, this policy becomes void.

Section 2: Pre-Installation
{Pre-Installation Organization and Review}
Before you begin the installation/assembly of your Kat Play-Around you should review this section in its entirety.
The following charts will outline all the component parts, the hardware and the tools needed to assemble your new
kennel. Your new Kat Play-Around has been precision made based on your design decisions such as material, color,
etc. Because of the difference in design, the component parts list and hardware list may differ from what is listed in
this guide. However, the number of components and the assembly process will not differ, EXAMPLE: the component
parts list indicates 2 side panel assy, GLS/PVC. During the design process you chose 2 full PVC panels which
resulted in two separate line items on your packing slip. However, this does not change the number of units or the
assembly process. Once assembled, your kennel will look custom built and specially made for your facility.

Section 3: Kat Play-Around Assembly
{Floor Assembly}
Once you have reviewed sections 1 and 2 and have located and identied all hardware, you are ready to assemble
your Kat Play-Around.
Edges of steel and stainless steel kennels and individual parts may be sharp. We recommend that you always wear
protective gloves during unloading, inspection and assembly.
Installing Casters
Step 1
Stand the oor weld in an upright position to install
the casters. See Fig. 1.
Step 2
Align the (4) holes on the caster mounting plate with
the 4 holes on the weld mounting plate located in each
corner of the oor weld.
Step 3
Place one of the 5/16-18 x .750 HX HD Screws through
each of the 4 holes on the caster mounting plate into the
holes on the oor weld mounting plate and secure using
the 5/16-18 Hex Nuts.
Step 4
Tighten each hex nut using a ½"Rachet/Socket Wrench.
Step 5
Repeat steps 1-4 until all 4 casters have been installed.
IMPORTANT: Hardware must be installed in all holes
and hex nuts tightened using ½"Rachet/Socket Wrench
before proceeding.

Step 6
Turn oor right side up
with casters resting on
the oor. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: To limit
movement and make
assembly easier, set
the brake on each of
the casters by pressing
downwards.
Attaching 4-Hole Plates
Step 1
Locate two of the 4-hole
plates and four #12x1"
TEK HX HD screws
included in your hardware.
See. Fig. 3.
Step 2
Using a tape measure,
measure back 2"from
the edge of the Floor
Assembly and ¼"up from
the bottom of the Floor
Assembly in the front and
back of one side.
NOTE: The Floor
Assembly is 48 x 48" so
pick one of four sides to
install 4-hole plates.
Step 3
Using the measurements from steps 2 and the four #12x1"TEK HX HD screws install a 4-hole plate on the front and
one in the back of one side of the Floor Assembly.
NOTE: Going forward this will be the left side.

{Kennel Assembly}
The Kat Play-Around Kennel is designed to assemble from left to right. The rst Side Panel, King Post and
Gate Panel are easier to assemble on the oor and then lifted into place.
Kennels are heavy and precautions must be taken to protect yourself and others from personal injury.
Get help when lifting heavy parts.
Edges of steel and stainless steel kennels and individual parts may be sharp.
We recommend that you always wear protective gloves during unloading, inspection and assembly.
King Post and Side Panel Assembly
Step 1
Attach the King Post to the Side Panel using
the #12x2"TEK HX HD Screws inserted
through the pre-drilled holes. The King Post
should be mounted to the front end of the
Side Panel. See Fig. 5.
NOTE: The front end of the Side Panel has a
frame that measures 1x1"whereas the back
end has a frame measuring 1x2".

Removing Door from Gate Assembly
Step 1
To prevent damage to the glass during assembly, remove
the Door from the Gate Panel by slightly opening and
lifting up on the door. Once the door clears the hinge pin
at the bottom, pull the bottom of the door toward you. Pull
the top of the door down until the top of the door clears
the top hinge pin. Set the door to the side as it will be
installed later. See Fig. 6.

Attaching the Back Panel
Step 1
Locate the Mounting Brackets that were included in your hardware package. The bracket should have four pre-drilled
holes and will be mounted on the inside of the Back Panel. See Fig. 10.
NOTE: To determine which side of the Back Panel is the inside, nd the side where the glass is ush to the PVC
panel. On the outside of the Back Panel, the glass will be inset.
(This will be flush on the
inside of the back panel)
(This will be inset on the
ouside of the back panel)

Shor-Line | 800.444.1579 | www.shor-line.com
Step 2
Lay the Back Panel on a at surface with the inside of the panel facing up. See Fig. 11 below.
Step 3
For the top brackets, use a measuring tape to measure down two inches from the top of the Back Panel. Insert a
#12x1"TEK HX HD screw in both holes to secure.
Step 4
For the bottom brackets, use a measuring tape to measure up two inches from the bottom of the Back Panel.
Insert a #12x1"TEK HX HD screw in both holes to secure.
NOTE: The side of the bracket should be ush with the edge of the Back Panel.
Step 5
Place the Back Panel on the back of the Kennel Assembly with the PVC panel and brackets facing the inside of
the kennel. See Fig. 12 below.
Step 6
Using the #12x1" TEK HX HD screws, attach the Back Panel to the Side Panels. Make sure the panels are ush and
screws are placed in all 4 pre-drilled holes on the brackets.
PLACE BRACKETS 2" DOWN FROM
TOP AND FLUSH WITH THE SIDE.
PLACE BRACKETS 2" UP FROM THE
BOTTOM AND FLUSH WITH THE SIDE.

Installing Right Side Panel 4-Hole Plates
Step 1
Two 4-hole plates will be installed
on the Right Side Panel to secure
the kennel to the oor.
Step 2
To install the front 4 hole plate,
use a tape measure to measure
back 2 inches from the edge of
the front of the Floor Assembly
and ¼ inch up from the edge of
the bottom of the Floor Assembly.
See Fig. 13.
Step 3
Place a #12x1"TEK HX HD

{Shelf Weldment Assembly}
The Kat Play-Around is also designed with three Shelf
Assemblies. One long shelf (referred to as the Upper Shelf),
which is installed across the length of the back panel and
two smaller shelves (referred to as the Lower Shelves), one
installed on each of the Side Panels. Before we begin the
assembly, locate the 3 Shelf Weld Assemblies and the 3
PVC Shelf Panels. In addition you will also need the tape,
the E6000 adhesive and the #12x2"TEK HX HD screws
from the hardware package.
Installing the Upper Shelf Weldment
Step 1
A support tube is installed within the layers of the Back
Panel to support the Upper Shelf Assembly. Using a tape
measure, measure 39 ¼” up from the bottom of the Back
Panel on each side and make a mark. See Fig. 16.
Step 2
Using a carpenter’s level, make sure the marks are level
before securing the shelf.
Step 3
Insert a #12x2"TEK HX HD
screw in each of the 4 pre-
drilled holes of the Upper Shelf
Weldment and into the Back
Panel to secure. See Fig. 17.
Step 4
Using a carpenter’s level, raise
shelf up until level and place a
screw in each one of the pre-
drilled holes on each side of the
Shelf weldment and into the Side
Panel.
