Figure 2
Note:
• If your pickup is fitted with a plastic drop-in bed liner, it may
need to be drilled, trimmed, or cut for proper installation of
truck box.
• Truck box cover may not properly latch until box is fully bolted
to truck bed (4) places.
• Because truck bed configurations vary, (6) mounting slots have
been provided, to ensure the use of (4) mounting clamps.
• Periodically check tightness of mounting clamps to insure
proper attachment.
• Use touch-up paint on any drill holes to prevent oxidation.
• Install boxes with vehicle parked on level ground.
Step 1: LOCATE BOX IN TRUCK BED

FEATURE OPERATION
LOCK SYSTEM
The WEATHER GUARD® EXTREME PROTECTION® Lock is designed to provide maximum security, while providing ease of use
and years of reliable service. When in the locked mode, he button remains retracted in a tamper-resistant position. When the button is
pressed in the unlock mode, the latches are activated and the cover opens.
LOCK
Turn the key counterclockwise to the locked position
as indicated on the lock bezel. When the button is now
pressed, it will stay in the retracted or tamper-resistant
position until unlocked.
UNLOCK
Turn the key clockwise to the unlocked position as
indicated on the lock bezel. Button will pop out and is
now ready to release the latches when pressed.
NOTE: Mounting clamp bolt may be difficult to turn due to the "lock nut" feature. Apply
a small amount of grease to bolt threads prior to installation to ease assembly.
LATCH SYSTEM
The WEATHER GUARD® Latch System utilizes automotive grade latches in conjunction with high strength latch strikers to ensure maxi-
mum security. The WEATHER GUARD® Latch System is designed to open with a single touch of the button, and close securely. Expect
years of reliable service from the WEATHER GUARD® Latch System with only minimal maintenance: Lubricate latch pivot points bian-
nually with white grease. If latch strikers are accidentally knocked out of alignment, simply use a mallet to realign.
12V ELECTRICAL ACCESS
The WEATHER GUARD® Truck Boxes are equipped with a 12-volt electrical
access grommet for easy electrical accessory fit-ups. To use, simply cut along
one or more perforations in the rubber grommet and run wire through.
