Polecat Wall Fixing Kit Install

Units come complete with an installation pack that contains the following:

3 Feet
3 Feet Screws
1 Connector
1 Fixing Block
2 Fixing Screws
2 Fixing Plugs
3 Foam Discs (Plus Spare)
1 Drill Bit
1 Hex Key

You'll need a step ladder, large & medium crosshead screwdrivers, pencil & a drill noting that you may need an extra pair of hands to install your Hicat® - if you have a stud/joist sensor this will also be useful & if fixing into masonry you may need a specialist drill bit

After unpacking your Hicat® give the unit a good vacuum to remove any loose fibres

Attach the fixing block to the Hicat® by removing the fixing bracket & connecting the bolt into the unit with washer attached - make sure that the fixing plate is facing up when installed & tighten the bolt just enough so that the block can still be tilted up & down slightly when set against the wall

The supplied Fixing Plugs are universal & suitable for fixing into plasterboard, timber or masonry - installing into plasterboard will give a secure fixing & you can also secure through plasterboard into a stud or joist

If your Hicat® is installed on a hard smooth floor & moves during boisterous play stick the foam discs onto the feet to stop any unwanted movement - it’s important that the unit is lifted into position after the foam pads have been stuck onto the feet as sliding the unit will cause the pads to ruck & remember that all three feet need to be in full contact with the floor to stop the unit from spinning or moving

Remember to give your Hicat® a quick check over from time-to-time to make sure that the fixing block is secure & the unit is stable before allowing your cat to play on it
