Locked (Stored) Unlocked Locked (Use)
Step 1 - Turn the locking knob to release the leg
assembly from the folded and stored position.
Step 2 - Pivot the leg assembly to the open position
and push down on both latches to secure the steps in
the locked position for use.
Step 3 - Position the step assembly in the desired position ensuring that the latch on both
sides remains in the locked position. The steps are designed to flex some to accommodate
slightly irregular surfaces, but check for stability prior to use.
To fold and store your steps, lift up on both latches and, with your hands out
of the way, pivot the leg assembly in to the folded and stored position (legs
against back sides of steps). Turn the locking knob to position one end over
the back lip of the step to secure in the folded position..

Training
It is highly recommended that you stand to the side as your dog gets used to WAG Boarding Steps. Some dogs may try
to wrap their legs around them like a tree trunk or reach up trying to pull themselves up and stick their leg between the
steps. Having your dog approach them straight on and spotting them to keep their legs under their chest (like they do
stairs at home) the first few times will get them comfortable with this new thing they have never seen before. Once
they are used to it, they will learn to come in from the side and do it with large objects in their mouth. Periodically
check for damage to the equipment. Remember, WAG Boarding Steps are for dog use only.
Care and Maintenance
Your new WAG Boarding Steps are constructed from high-quality materials that should provide years of enjoyment.
•All of the fasteners are stainless steel or aluminum. Check for loose or missing fasteners prior to use and tighten
or replace as necessary.
•The metal parts are anodized aluminum extrusions which offer excellent stiffness for their weight. Periodically
check for bent or cracked parts and replace as necessary.
•The plastic parts are formulated for outdoor use and have good impact resistance. Periodically check for
cracked parts and replace as necessary.
