Product Manual

Northern Tool & Equipment recommends
Grip-Rite No Drill Mounting System for tool boxes.
DON'T DRILL HOLES IN YOUR TRUCK!
* Available in stores.
Use of Grip-Rite System avoids drilling holes in rails of pickup.
In order to maintain the nish of your chrome pull handle latches, wash them with mild soap and water whenever you wash your truck. Do not use harsh, abrasive,
ammonia-based, or acid cleaning solutions. To keep your pull handle latches looking new, use a light coat of chrome polish (available at most auto parts retailers) once
every 3 months. If you live near the ocean or where salt is used on the roads, it is highly recommended you follow the instructions listed above.
To keep the tool box looking as new and shiny as possible, wash and wax the tool box at the same time as the pickup. Use a gentle aluminum or mag wheel polish to maintain
shine. A light lubrication oil is recommended for the hinge after washing because soap, water, and sunlight tend to remove the oil lm placed on the hinge prior to shipment.
Read all enclosed 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

1. STANDARD TOOLBOX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WITH GRIP-RITE MOUNTING SYSTEM (SOLD SEPARATELY)
Northern Tool + Equipment tool boxes have pre-punched slots in the box ends for use with Grip-Rites.
•To use Grip-Rites to mount the tool box, select the desired slot on each end. Use only single opposing slots on each
side of the tool box. (Using oset Grip-Rite positions may cause the lid to bind and operate improperly).
Remove and discard the knock-outs from the slots, if present.
• Place the tool box across the truck bed directly behind the cab, leaving a small gap between the tool box
and front bulkhead of the truckbed. Be sure the lid will not make contact with the truck cab when fully opened.
• Install the provided foam strips to cushion the tool box on the truck bed rail. Mark the slot positions on the bed rail.
• Remove the tool box. Attach Grip-Rites in the marked positions. (See Grip-Rite Installation Instructions
on the package.) Place the tool box back into position and bolt it down using the supplied Grip-Rite hardware.
USING MORE THAN ONE GRIP-RITE ON EACH SIDE WILL VOID THE TOOL BOX WARRANTY.
