CARE AND CLEANING

A little care can extend the life of your Bark Limiter

and reduce service costs.

Battery Life. Avoid leaving the collar in very warm

areas, such as in a closed automobile in the sun, for
long periods. If you will not be using the Bark Limiter
for several months, remove the batteries.

Dirt and Corrosion. Outdoor conditions can be harsh
on the surfaces of the collar. After exposure to brackish,
salt or alkaline water, wash the collar with clean
drinking water and use a small brush to remove any
foreign materials, particularly around the contact
points, the on/off switch, and the battery compartment
end cap. Do not use acids, alkalis, solvents or abrasive
tools for cleaning.

Note: Certain dog-related products may contain
chemicals that cause harm to the collar. We recommend
that the collar be removed when chemicals such as tick
dip and flea spray are in use.

Contact Point Tightness. Inspect the contact points for
tightness each time you put the collar on your dog. If
the points need tightening, use the contact point
wrench that comes with the Bark Limiter.

Collar straps can be easily replaced by the user when

they become worn.

Battery Compartment Seal. A good O-ring in the collar
battery cap is very important! If the O-ring becomes
cracked, worn or missing, moisture can enter the

battery compartment and cause damage. Inspect the
O-ring for signs of cracking, and replace it if needed.

Whenever you install new batteries in your collar,

make sure that the O-ring is still present, and that
it’s in good condition.
