3. Setup and Installation
Initial installation of the DECKED system typically takes 2 to 3 hours using common hand tools.

Installation Overview:
- Preparation: Ensure your truck bed is clean and clear of any debris. Verify compatibility with your truck's bed liner type.
- Assembly: Follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. This involves assembling the sub-frame and drawer components.
- Placement: Carefully position the assembled system into your truck bed.
- Securing: Secure the system to the truck bed using the provided hardware. If your truck has an existing spray-in liner, you may need replacement bolts for securing the system.

4. Operating the DECKED System
The DECKED system is designed for easy access and maximum utility. Its full bed-length drawers allow for organized storage, while the heavy-duty flat deck above provides significant cargo capacity.
Drawer Access:
- To open a drawer, simply pull the handle located at the tailgate end of the system. The drawers slide out smoothly on integrated wheels.
- Each drawer can hold up to 200 lbs of gear.
- The drawers are secured via the truck's locking tailgate, or with an optional keyed lock accessory (not included) for added security.
Cargo Capacity:
- The flat deck surface above the drawers can support up to 2,000 lbs of cargo. This allows you to haul large items, ATVs, or other heavy loads directly on top of the system without compromising the organized storage below.
- Utilize the four D-Ring tie-downs to secure cargo on the deck.

5. Maintenance and Care
The DECKED system is constructed from recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) co-molded to a galvanized steel sub-frame, designed for durability and resistance to extreme weather and UV light. Proper maintenance will ensure its longevity.
- Cleaning: Clean the system periodically with soap and water. For stubborn dirt, a pressure washer can be used on the exterior.
- Weatherproofing: The drawers feature updated seals to protect contents from car washes, dust, and particulate. While not airtight, these seals significantly minimize the entry of airborne elements. Regularly inspect seals for any damage.
- Moving Parts: The drawer wheels and sliding mechanisms are designed for smooth operation. Keep these areas free of excessive dirt or debris to ensure continued ease of use.

6. Troubleshooting
While the DECKED system is built for reliability, here are some common issues and potential solutions:
- Drawers not sliding smoothly: Check for any debris or obstructions in the drawer tracks or around the wheels. Clean the tracks and wheels thoroughly. Ensure the system is properly leveled and secured in the truck bed.
- Water ingress into drawers: Verify that the drawer seals are intact and properly seated. Ensure the tailgate is fully closed and locked, as this contributes to the system's weather resistance.
- Difficulty with installation: Refer to the detailed assembly guide and any available installation videos from DECKED. Ensure all components are correctly oriented and all fasteners are tightened according to specifications.
- Missing parts: If any components are missing upon delivery, contact DECKED customer support immediately.
