Anchors and Wedges:
•GOFR preassembles our patented cooler connectors in a
medium size anchor.
• Our anchor/wedge system allows you to connect the GOFR cart
to your cooler without screws or causing damage to your cooler.
• GOFR research indicates that most of coolers have medium
sized foot holes.
Tips and Warnings:
• Always use gloves when removing cooler feet.
•Always wear eye protection.
•Always set the cooler on a towel or cloth to protect the cooler
and any work surface.
• Use care to make sure you do not damage the cooler when
removing the feet.
• Do NOT allow children under 16 to attempt to assemble the
GOFR Cooler Cart.
• All coolers are a little different, so you may need to unscrew
the existing feet.
• If you are having trouble removing the feet, consult the video
instructions on www.gofroutdoors.com

Small Accessory Panels
so they sit between the
