ASSEMBLY
The Eastwood Rolling Tool Cart consists of moderately heavy metal components which can cause potentially serious injuries if
allowed to drop. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly. Obtaining the assistance of a helper during
assembly is strongly recommended. The use of safety shoes is strongly advised.
• Set the Bottom Tray [A] end-up on a soft surface then locate a Locking Swivel Caster [B] at a lower corner of the underside with the mounting
holes aligned (FIG 1).
NOTE: Be sure to group both Locking Swivel Casters [B] on the same end of the Bottom Tray [A].
• Insert M8 x 16mm Hex Head Bolts [K] through mounting holes while adding M8 Flat Washers [M] and M8 Nylon Insert Locknuts [L].
Tighten securely using 13mm and 14mm wrenches.
• Repeat for 2nd Locking Swivel Caster [B] being careful to place both on the same end of the Bottom Tray [A].

Due to the size and weight of the Tool Chest [F], it is strongly recommended to obtain the assistance of a helper during the following
step. Avoid pinching hands while setting the Tool Chest in place.
• Set a Vertical Post [D] with the square punched hole oriented at 14” from top and opposite Bottom Tray and facing outward (FIG 2).
NOTE: This is necessary for proper location of the Tool Chest [F] further on. Attach to Bottom Tray [A] using M8 x 12mm Carriage Head Bolts [H],
M8 Flat Washers [M] and M8 Nylon Insert Locknuts [L]. Tighten securely using a 13mm wrench.
• Repeat with the remaining three Vertical Posts [D] paying close attention to the orientation of the square punched hole as described in the step above.
• Place the two Cross Supports [E] along the inside of and between the Vertical Posts [D] and bolt in place with 4 M8 x 12mm Carriage Head Bolts [H],
M8 Flat Washers [M] and M8 Nylon Insert Locknuts [L]. Tighten securely using a 13mm wrench.

• With your helper lifting the opposite side, carefully place the Tool Chest between the four Vertical Posts [D] and on the ledges of the Cross Supports [E].
IMPORTANT NOTE: The upper edge of the Tool Chest is crimped over and designed to fit over the upper edges of the Vertical Posts [D] (FIG 3).
• Once the Tool Chest is properly located, attach with M8 x 12mm Carriage Head Bolts [H], M8 Flat Washers [M] and M8 Nylon Insert Locknuts [L].
IMPORTANT NOTE: At this point decide which end you wish the handle to be located and add hardware to the two UPPER end holes only (FIG 3)
leaving the lower two open.
• Lastly, locate the Handle [G] over the two lower end holes and attach with the two longer 16mm Carriage Head Bolts [J], M8 Flat Washers [L]
and M8 Nylon Insert Locknuts [M]. Tighten securely.

OPERATION
• The Eastwood Tool Cart can be locked by lowering the Tool Box Lid fully and locking with included Keys [N].
IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep objects away from the Pushrods at the rear of the upper tray to prevent binding which may jam or prevent the Tool box
from being unlocked.
• The two Locking Swivel Casters can be locked by rotating the Brake Lever in a Counter-Clockwise direction. This will prevent the Tool Cart from moving.
To release brake feature, rotate levers in a Clockwise motion.
MAINTENANCE
• 2 vertical Pushrods are located at the rear upper shelf area of the Tool Chest. The Pushrods must be totally free to move up and down to allow the
Drawers to lock and unlock. Periodically lubricate the sliding contact areas of these Pushrods and keep them clean to prevent binding which may
potentially prevent the Tool box from being unlocked.
• Keep stored objects away from the Pushrods to prevent binding which can prevent the Tool box from being unlocked.
• Always check Pushrods for proper operation before closing and locking lid.
• The Tool Cart and Box is finished in rugged powdercoating which will provide many years of effort free beauty however it is advisable to keep the
finish clean and free from excessive dust and dirt.
• Keep the Tool Cart in a clean and dry environment. DO NOT store it in or expose it to a damp or wet environment.
This Tool Cart has rotating/moveable components that can generate crushing and bending forces if allowed to move suddenly which
can quickly cause severe injury! Keep fingers and hands away from moving parts when operating.
DO NOT open more than one tool drawer at a time when loaded. This can cause the balance to shift suddenly, tipping the Service
Cart forward which can quickly cause severe injury!
Store the Tool Cart on a flat, level surface only to prevent possible unattended rolling and property damage.
