Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Lyromix Outdoor Dog Kennel:
- Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, level outdoor surface for the kennel. Clear any debris or obstacles from the area.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and compare them with the package contents list to ensure everything is present and undamaged.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the galvanized steel tubes to form the rectangular base of the kennel. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten bolts yet.
- Install Vertical Supports: Attach the vertical support tubes to the base frame.
- Attach Wire Mesh Panels: Secure the chain link wire mesh panels to the frame using the provided metal ties and fasteners. The upgraded mesh edges are designed for a firm fit. Ensure the 2.5mm thick wire mesh is taut.
- Install the Feeding Door: Integrate the rotating feeding door assembly into one of the designated panel openings. Ensure it rotates smoothly and the height adjustment mechanism functions correctly.
- Assemble the Roof Frame: Construct the roof frame using the remaining galvanized tubes.
- Attach the Roof Cover: Drape the waterproof and UV-resistant PE cover over the roof frame. Secure it firmly using the elastic fasteners or bungee cords provided, ensuring it is taut to prevent water accumulation.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and fasteners across the entire structure.
- Insert Bowls: Place the two stainless steel bowls into the feeding device.

Operating Instructions
The Lyromix Outdoor Dog Kennel features a convenient rotating feeding door:
- Rotating Feeding Device: The feeding door is designed to rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to easily place or remove food and water bowls without entering the kennel.
- Height Adjustment: The feeding device offers three levels of height adjustment. To adjust, simply lift or lower the bowl holder to the desired height and secure it in place. This allows you to customize the feeding height according to your dog's size and comfort.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your dog kennel:
- Cleaning the Frame and Mesh: Periodically clean the galvanized steel frame and wire mesh with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Roof Cover Care: Clean the PE roof cover with a damp cloth. Ensure it remains free of debris, especially leaves or standing water, to maintain its waterproof integrity.
- Bowl Cleaning: The stainless steel bowls should be removed and cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene for your pet.
- Fastener Inspection: Routinely check all metal ties, bolts, and fasteners for tightness. Tighten any loose connections to ensure the kennel remains stable and secure.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon unboxing, do not attempt to assemble the kennel. Contact Lyromix customer support immediately for assistance.
- Tarp/Roof Cover Not Staying in Place: Ensure all elastic fasteners or bungee cords are securely attached to the frame. In strong winds, additional securing methods (e.g., heavier anchors) may be necessary.
- Difficulty Connecting Pipes/Frame: Double-check that you are using the correct pipes for each section as per the assembly diagram. If pipes appear bent or misaligned, contact customer support for replacement parts. Do not force connections.
- Wire Mesh Appears Loose: Ensure all metal ties are properly installed and tightened around the wire mesh and frame. The upgraded mesh edges should prevent significant loosening.
