To close the gate: Expand gate so the 2 bumpers fit in the sockets. Rotate locking handle and
insert handle tab into the slot that gives you enough tension to secure the gate.(see figure 2)
To open the gate: Lightly press down on the locking handle, twist handle outward and pull gently
away from the gate. Slide gate together and swing open.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: Wash with warm water using mild liquid soap. Use a soft cloth to
avoid scratching the gate. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. NOTE: Never use
solvents, chemicals, scouring powders and sharp tools when cleaning the gate.

Remove protective cover sheet from one of the sockets and with “U” upright, place on a flat, even
surface 3” above the floor measured from the bottom of the socket.
Mount second socket 23” (measured from the bottom of the sockets) above bottom socket.
Screws, in addition to tape pads, may be used for added security. Use two longer screws provided.
