To help protect your Pounce drive and maximize its lifespan, please follow these recommendations: Use a small course and keep line tension as light as possible. If you notice the drive slowing down or performance declining, stop and reduce the course size. A course that's too large or line tensi...

Pounce powers up in Manual Mode. When in manual mode you must use the remote to control the direction and speed of the lure. Manual Mode: Use the remote to control the direction of the lure. Press the up arrow to run it forward and the down arrow to run it in reverse. When you release the ...

There is a red LED at the top of the Pounce remote that lights up when you press any of the control buttons. If the LED does not come on at all the battery may be loose, inserted backward (see illustration below), or needs to be replaced. If the LED is lighting but the drive is not responding: C...

Pounce What is the maximum length of line that it can be used with? It's designed to be used indoors in a single room, so if the room is approximately 12'x12' square you should be able to set up a course to fit. If you have a bigger room it may be possible to set up a bigger course - you can alw...

Line Tension can cause the drive to work too hard - which will cause the battery to drain more quickly. The tighter the line is - the harder the motor has to work and the slower the line will move. The line tension should be almost too loose. Set up the course - thread the line - the line shoul...

 Pounce uses light, soft twisted rope - the kit ships with an large roll. We do not sell this separately. When seeking replacement line. look for 2.5mm - 3mm twisted cotton cord. Note: the braided nylon line we sell on the SwiftPaws website is not recommended for Pounce.

If you see a groove worn into the band it suggests that the line tension may be too tight and/or the course may be too large. In extreme cases the line may cut the band in half. This is definitely a sign that adjustments need to be made before permanent damage to the drive occurs. It's impor...

The band should not need to be replaced very often (or at all) if everything is dialed in for optimum performance. See: Step- by-Step set up instructions: https://swiftpaws.my.canva.site/pounce-get-started We do not sell the rubber band separately, but if you need to replace it in the futur...

No. Pounce will ship with its own remote control. Pounce will be a SwiftPaws version of our licensee's toy so it's completely separate from the SwiftPaws lure courses we manufacture and assemble ourselves in the USA. But it will meet our high standards of form and function.

We included dogs because of our belief in "every pet - every space - every playtime" Pounce will be designed especially for cats, but we don't want exclude those pups that the SwiftPaws lure kits might be "overkill" for. So if our dog lure kits are more machine than your doggo requires - I would...

If your cat isn't chasing the Pounce lure - this is normal! Some cats prefer to hide behind the furniture, on the table, from a doorway, etc. and watch the lure move. They find places all over the house to sit and "stalk" it. Even if they're not in the room they'll come running in if you turn it...

If a Pounce pulley seems noisier than it used to be, lint, fur, hair and other debris may have collected under the pulley wheel. Cleaning it out often resolves the issue. How to Clean the Pounce Pulley 1) Open the pulley 2) Remove the pulley wheel - loosen and remove the center post screw ...
