acceptable. However, if there is any upward movement, you need to readjust/retighten the

Repeat 1-7 if you want to attach another TOOLing Around Tool Caddy™ to the opposite side

Screw the short thumbscrew completely through the collar and into the hole that you
chose. The screw needs to bottom out completely – run out of threads.
[Not Correct!] If the zip tie is pulling the bottom of the tool caddy over to make it
unstable, then nd a dierent place to secure. Again, User Videos are available at
FertileGroundTools.com for proper attachment on several common “carrier/haulers.”
*Note: If one of the predrilled hole is not perfect for your application, please feel free to
drill another hole into the center of the tube where you need it to be (Drill bit size 1/4”-
cleaned out for room).
USERS INSTRUCTIONS:
Your TOOLing Around Tool Caddy™ will come with the Bottom Plug installed. Now it is up to
you to t it properly to your “carrier/hauler” (ie, wheelbarrow, cart, wagon, etc). Even though
it is a “universal t” to any carrier/hauler there are some very important things to consider
when you choose a place to clamp it. Failure to clamp it properly could result in bodily injury.
Make sure the TOOLing Around Logo label is facing away from the carrier/hauler. This will
mean the THREE holes down the center are also facing away from carrier/hauler. Fit the
Collar (hole facing away from the carrier/hauler) over the square tube and then insert the
Clamp from the inside/facing the carrier/hauler).
Size-up your carrier/hauler

3. The best place to locate your TOOLing Around Tool Caddy™ is on a STRAIGHT spot along
any side, front, or back.
You are also looking for the best place on the underside of the carrier/hauler to secure the
zip tie to (ie, a leg, part of the frame, stabilizer cross piece, etc).
Another thing you are looking for is to take advantage of the square tube to be against a
leg or other feature at the point where the zip tie will be. This gives another point to secure
it into place. However, this may not be possible for your application.
Determining which hole is very important to the overall security of the nal attachment.
Choose the hole that places the bottom of the square tube above the place that the zip tie
will be fastened. This will allow the entire assembly to be pulled down and better secured
as the zip tie is fully tightened.

With the “Clamp” resting on the lip/edge of the carrier/hauler and against the side, squeeze
the clamp against the “carrier/hauler” with one hand and tighten one of the side
thumbscrews with the other hand. Then repeat with squeezing the other side of the clamp
tight and tighten the other thumbscrew. [Note: It is acceptable if the tool caddy is leaning
out at an angle.
Thread the zip tie through the lanyard slot in the bottom plug (Note: zip tie “teeth” down).
You can go through two dierent ways depending on what is needed for fastening. Next
take the zip tie around the place where you need to secure it and pull it tight. Check it to
make sure the zip tie locked. (Remember: This zip tie is reusable and has a TAB that you can
push and release the zip tie to remove). You also may want to cut the end of the zip tie if you
have a lot of excess.
