Better Built® would like to thank you and congratulate you on your purchase of a Better Built® product!
STANDARD TOOLBOX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Place tool box across truck bed directly behind cab, leaving a small air space between box and front bulkhead of truck bed. Be sure the lid will not contact the truck cab when open. Install strips provided to cushion tool box on truck bed rail. On opposing ends of tool box drill 1/4″ hole in top lip of tool box 1″ from end of box, being sure to drill into truck body. Secure with 3/8″ sheet metal screews. Secure no more than one screw at each end of tool box. Using more than one screw on each end of tool box (i.e. putting screws in each of the four corners of tool box to bind the box to truck bed) will void the warranty for the tool box.
DON’T DRILL HOLES IN YOUR TRUCK!
Daws Better Built® recommends Grip Rite No Drill Mounting System for tool box. Use of Grip Rite System avoids drilling holes in rails of pickup.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITH OPTIONAL GRIP RITE MOUNTING SYSTEM (SOLD SEPARATELY):
Better Built® toolboxes have pre-punched knockouts inbox ends for use with Grip-Rite System. To use Grip Rites to mount toolbox, push knockouts out of the way. (only one-half of slot is needed) Use only opposing slots on each side of the toolbox. (Using off-setting Grip-Rite positions may cause the lid to bind and operate improperly.) Place tool box across truck bed directly behind cab leaving a small air space between toolbox and front bulkhead of the truck bed. Be sure the lid will not contact the truck cab when open. Install provided strips to cushion tool box on truck bed rail. Mark positions of Grip-Rite slots on truck bed rail. Remove tool box. Attach Grip Rites in positions as marked. (See Grip-Rite Installation Instructions on package.) Place tool box back into position. Bolt Grip Rites. Using more than one Grip-Rite on each side is unnecessary and will void toolbox warranty.
MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Periodic adjustments of lid strikers may be required to keep tool box operating properly due to normal use or highway vibrations. The steel lid strikers are adjustable left and right, or up and down. When properly adjusted, the tool box lid should latch easily on both sides when closed. This closure allows the latch locking mechanism to secure both sides when turned in the locked position. To keep the tool box looking as new and shiny as possible, wash and wax tool box at the same time as the pickup. Use Diamond Brite Truck Box polish or a gentle aluminum or mag wheel polish to maintain shine. A light lubrication oil is recommended for hinge after wash because soap, water, and sunlight tend to remove the oil film placed on hinge prior to shipment.
