Troubleshooting
Cradle is not stable on uneven ground
Ensure all four levelling legs are fully extended and the swivel mud feet are properly positioned to grip the surface. Adjust each leg individually until the cradle is perfectly level.
Mesh flap is difficult to secure
Check for any obstructions caught in the zipper or flap attachment points. Ensure the flap is aligned correctly before attempting to close it.
Water is not draining effectively
Ensure the side drainage mesh panels are clear of debris such as mud, leaves, or small stones. Gently clear any blockages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the main frame and extend the levelling legs to your desired height. Adjust the swivel mud feet to ensure the cradle sits flat and stable on the ground. Secure the fish inside by closing the top mesh flap.
Compatibility: This cradle is designed for use with most coarse and carp fishing scenarios. It is compatible with standard weighing slings and weigh bars.
Care: After use, rinse the cradle with clean water to remove mud and debris. Allow it to air dry completely before folding and storing it in the supplied carry bag. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the padding and lining. Periodically check the leg locking mechanisms for smooth operation.
