Product Manual

Read these instructions to familiarize yourself with assembly and installation. This tool box is designed for certain applications only.
Northern Tool & Equipment is not responsible for issues arising from modication or improper use of this product such as an application for
which it was not designed. We strongly recommend that this product not be modied and/or used for any application other than that for
which it was designed.
NOTE: If your truck has a bed liner, use these
instructions as a guide only.
Due to the many differences in bed liner thick-
ness and fit, longer fasteners are highly recom-
mended.
You will need to ensure that your new truck box is
mounted securely to the truck, not the bed liner.
This tool box must be securely mounted to prevent movement or shifting.
Any leaking caused by unsealed holes in the box bottom will void the warranty.

MOUNTING WITH GRIP RITES
®
(Not included, sold separately. Grip Rites
®
not required for proper installation.)
Place the tool box on top of the truck bed rail and move it to the desired position.
Support the back of the tool box while mounting to the truck.
Secure (attach) the box to the top of the truck bed rail. Most
users prefer to use optional Grip Rite
®
no hole mounts. Instructions
follow:
Measure for location then mount Grip Rites
®
to the truck
bed rail as shown in the illustration and on the Grip Rite
®
package.
Set the tool box on the bed rail and sight down the front to
determine where the Grip Rite
®
will line up under the front lip.
Measure from the front of the tool box to the sighted line
where the Grip Rite
®
lines up.
Transfer the dimension just taken less 1/4” (for inside
compensation) to the mounting surface inside the tool box.
The Grip Rite
®
mounts have holes spaced 3 3/8” apart, and
should be marked as such along the line just made. These
will be the locations to drill the holes in your tool box.
Drill to a finish hole size of 3/8” at the locations just indicated.
Finish mounting the tool box to the Grip Rites
®
using the
screws and washers provided.
