Step 1
WARNING
Before drilling into your truck bed, check under your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not puncture,
cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, etc. Precaution must be taken that all
fasteners near the fuel tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank puncture or other damage during a collision.
Remove the bottom two drawers from the tool box and place the tool box on the mounting surface.
Mark the mounting surface using the guide holes on the inside of the tool box.
Drill 1/4" holes. Align the holes in the tool box with the drill holes in the mounting surface.
Insert one 1/4" bolt and flat washer on the inside of the tool box and secure with one flat washer and
nylock nut on the underside of the mounting surface. Do this for each mounting hole. Tighten all hardware.
Re-install the bottom two drawer slides.
Step 2
CAUTION
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and
locks are firmly secured before every trip.
Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components
for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue.
With the drawer tool box installed, periodic
inspections should be performed to ensure
all mounting hardware remains tight.
To protect your investment, see the
'Maintenance' section on page 1.
Congratulations on the installation of
your new UWS drawer truck tool box.
