Replacement Battery Mats
The battery mat included with the Power Armor Battery
Box is acid neutralizing, and will help reduce any corrosion
from spilled battery acid. It is a “wear”item and may
eventually need to be replaced. New battery mats are
available through Torklift International. Part numbers
below.

Step 1:
Remove the Power Armor Lid by sliding the lid away from the side with
the lock, then lifting the front edge and unhooking the lid from the tabs on
the rear of the box. The Power Armor Battery Box has slots cut into the
bottom of the box. Use a sharp knife to make an incision in the Battery Mat
over each of the slots you plan to use for the battery strap.
Step 2:
On one side of the Power Armor Battery Box, insert the non-buckled end
of the Battery Strap down through the one of the slots you plan to use and
back up through the other slot (see figure 2.1 for slot locations.) Leave
approximately 10” of the buckled end inside of the box.

Depending on mounting, the battery strap will not be able to slide through
the slots after the box is mounted. Place a battery into the Power Armor
Battery Box and adjust the Battery Straps into a suitable position on both
sides. Remove the battery and Battery Mat before proceeding.
Step 3:
The 2” hole in the front/back panel of the Power Armor Battery Box is
used to allow the battery cables to enter the battery box. It can be mounted
towards either the front or back as long as there is sufficient room to open
and remove the Power Armor Lid.
The A7720R and A7720RS power armor battery boxes may be mounted in
two ways.
Option 1: Universal mounting Page 4
Option 2: Mounting over the stock angle rails Page 5

4
Step 3 –Option 1
Place the Power Armor Battery Box on top of the mounting surface. Mark
four to six locations in the box where it will screw down, and drill a 3/16”
pilot hole in each. Use the 1/4" x 1” Self-Drilling Screws and 1/4" SS USS
Flat Washers to screw the Power Armor Battery Box down onto the
surface. See figure 3.1. Place a 7/16” square profile O-ring around the
head of each screw to protect the battery mat from abrasion.
1/4”-20 x 1” SS Hex Bolts, 1/4" USS SS Flat Washers, and 1/4”-20 SS
Nylock Nuts have been included if you would prefer to use them instead of
the self drill screws. If using the hex bolts, the holes will need to be drilled
to 1/4” instead of 3/16”.
Proceed to step 4.
Figure 3.1

5
Step 3 –Option 2
In some cases the Power Armor battery box will fit between the two steel of
angles used to secure the stock battery box. If this is the case on your
trailer, refer back to Step 3 - Option 1.
If the Power Armor battery box is too wide to fit between the steel angles,
begin by drilling two 1/4” holes in each of the battery support straps. The
holes should be 15-1/2” apart. (see dimension “X” in figure 3.2)
Figure 3.2
Insert one 1/4"-20 x 2” Hex Bolt with one 1/4" SS USS Flat Washer down
through the slots of the Angle Extension Bracket and through each of the
holes previously drilled. The vertical flange on each Angle Extension
Bracket should be facing towards the outside of the trailer. Lightly secure
each bolt with one 1/4" SS USS Flat Washer and one 1/4"-20 SS Thin
Nylock Nut. Test fit to make sure the “Angle Extension Mounting Holes”in
the Power Armor Battery Box will align with the slots in the Angle
Extension Brackets. Adjust as necessary and tighten the 1/4"-20 x 2” Hex
Bolts. See figure 3.3

Figure 3.3
Insert one 1/4"-20x 1” SS Hex Bolt with one 1/4" SS USS Flat Washer
into all four “Angle Extension Mounting Holes”on the Power Armor
Battery Box. Place one 1/4"x 5/8”x 1/4” Nylon Spacer between the battery
box and Angle Extension Brackets. Secure each bolt with one 1/4" SS
USS Flat Washer and one 1/4"-20 Nylock Nut. See figure 3.4

Step 4
Reinstall the Battery Mat and Battery. To prevent any possible contact
between the battery terminals and lock, the battery terminals should be
oriented towards the side of the box with the 2” hole. Tightly secure the
battery with the battery strap.
Step 5
Insert the positive and negative battery cables into the box through the 2”
hole. Connect the positive battery cable to the positive terminal on the
battery. Connect the negative battery cable to the negative terminal on the
battery.
Solar Models Only: Attach the supplied fuse holder to the positive wire on
the SAE connector. Connect the positive wire from the SAE connector to the
positive terminal on the battery. Connect the negative wire from the SAE
connector to the negative terminal on the battery.

Step 6
To attach the Battery Box Lid to the Power Armor Battery Box, place it
over the Power Armor Battery Box, and align it so the tabs on the Power
Armor Battery Box fit through the slotted holes in the Power Armor Lid
as seen in Figure 6.1
Figure 6.1

10
Step 7
Slide the Battery Box Lid away from the lock and lower it down over the
front of the Power Armor Battery Box. Once the Power Armor Lid is
sitting flat, slide it towards the lock so the Locking tabs on the lid slide into
the Power Armor Battery Box as seen in figure 7.1
Figure 7.1
After the Battery Box Lid has slid into place, lock the key cylinder as seen
in figure 7.2.
Solar Models Only: Connect the SAE connector from the Solar Panel into
the SAE connector on the side of the Power Armor Solar Battery Box.

RECOMMENDED TRUCK CAMPER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When securing any heavy load (especially a camper) in your truck bed, your front tie down points
should pull the load forward as much as possible. Some camper anchor points may differ with
different manufacturers, as well as the camper jack mounting locations. Your Torklift tie down
inserts have offset triangular brackets to increase the angle of pull. These are designed to be used
in the front facing forward, and the rear facing rearward but can be used in either front or rear.
These recommendations are to be considered and followed as a basic rule of thumb . Obviously
there will be some applications where this may not be possible. At a minimum, if opposite pull of
both front and rear Tiedowns cannot be achieved for whatever reason, you should have at least a
forward pull at the front or rear location. If your camper does not come with Rubber Bumpers on
the front lower portion of the camper, installing Rubber Bumpers (Torklift has Rubber Bumpers
available Part A7001) or using a block of wood such as a 2 x 4 in the bed, will prevent the camper
from damaging the front bulk head of the truck bed. Minor movement (or settling) can occur in
some incidental harsh driving conditions (on or off road). A rubber bed mat is not a requirement
to maintain the lifetime warranty on a Torklift system, but a strong recommendation simply as a
safety precaution to protect the truck bed, the bottom of the camper and to give the camper
additional support.
TORKLIFT DOES NOT RECOMMEND: Installing your truck camper in your truck on top of a
drop in plastic bed liner!!! The drop in plastic bed liners can slide on top of the truck bed surface,
and the camper can slide on top of the slick surface of the bed liner. The liner can also act as a
spring causing a trampoline effect increasing vertical truck camper movement, independent of the
vehicle, possibly resulting in truck bed, and camper damage!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINISH MAINTENANCE
OF TORKLIFT PRODUCTS
POWDER COATED STEEL:
To keep your Torklift products looking good follow these guidelines. All steel powder coated
Torklift products are sandblasted for maximum adhesion and use a high quality industrial
urethane based powder coat. Due to the extreme, harsh, undercar environment that your Torklift
products live in, (consistently sprayed with corrosive road chemicals such as salt, and road debris),
Torklift does not warranty the power coated finish.
To minimize corrosion from these factors on powder coated steel products, Torklift recommends
regularly cleaning and inspecting the powder coated surface and touching up any affected areas
with an enamel or urethane based aerosol paint product. If there are any areas of surface rust,
there are also aerosol spray rust converters available on the market that can be used as a
preparation to touch-up paint application. These finish maintenance products are available at any
automotive parts supplier.
POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL :
TorkLift utilizes quality grade 304 stainless steel in our stainless steel polished products. 304
stainless
steel is well known for its anti-corrosive properties. However, in some environments such as coastal
regions or when coming in contact with some road chemicals, corrosion may occur. For a quick
clean simply use WD40 and a cloth rag. We also recommend occasional polishing of our polished
stainless products to maintain their attractive finish. Use an approved stainless steel chrome or
aluminum mag wheel polish cleaning product which can be purchased from any automotive
parts supplier.

Frame Mounted Tie Downs
Leading the camper tie down industry in
strength, quality, advanced design and
installation. TorkLift TRUE frame mounted tie
downs are far superior to all tie down systems
available.
The TorkLift system is unique in its design and
is patented. Four independent tie down points
(with no belly or crossbar) working much like
your receiver type trailer hitch as the inserts are removable allowing the system to
be virtually undetectable when not in use. They are designed for each make and
model to fit tight to the frame so as not to compromise ground clearance. Torklift tie
downs are not universal ‘one size fits all’ therefore all the problems with correct fit
for each particular application have been eliminated.
