Setup and Assembly
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the detailed assembly guide included with your product. The general steps are outlined below:

- Door Frame and Door Installation: Assemble and install the door frame and then hang the doors. Ensure smooth operation and proper alignment for the lockable handle.
- Roof Assembly: Install the roof support beams and then the roof panels. Ensure all roof panels overlap correctly to prevent water ingress.
- Track System (Optional): If utilizing the optional glide track system, install it within the shed as per the specific instructions. This system aids in effortless parking of motorcycles.
- Final Checks: Verify all screws, bolts, and fasteners are tightened. Check door operation and lock functionality.

Operating Instructions
Your LINKHOO shed is designed for secure and convenient storage.
- Opening/Closing Doors: The shed features wide double doors for easy access. Use the handles to open and close the doors smoothly.

Maintenance
The LINKHOO Metal Motorcycle Storage Shed is designed for near-zero maintenance, thanks to its galvanized steel construction. However, regular checks will ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Annually inspect all fasteners (screws, bolts) to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Check for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be scratched. Touch up any scratches with rust-inhibiting paint if needed.
- Door Hinges and Lock: Lubricate door hinges and the lock mechanism annually with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
- Drainage: Ensure the area around the shed remains clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shed, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Doors not closing properly: Check if the shed is level. Adjust the base if necessary. Inspect hinges for damage or misalignment.
- Difficulty with lock mechanism: Ensure the doors are properly aligned. Lubricate the lock with a suitable lubricant. If the key is stuck or the lock is damaged, contact customer support.
- Water leakage: Verify that all roof and wall panels are correctly overlapped and all fasteners are tight. Ensure the foundation is properly sealed and drainage around the shed is adequate.
- Rust spots: Small rust spots can occur if the protective coating is scratched. Clean the area, sand lightly, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by exterior metal paint.
For issues not covered here or if problems persist, please contact LINKHOO customer service.
