Newspaper Holder Instructions Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Mail Boss newspaper holder. Our newspaper holder is constructed of 16 gauge galvanized, powder coated steel. The mounting bracket is 14 gauge galvanized, powder
coated steel. The Mail Boss newspaper holder is designed to be used in conjunction with the curbside Mail
Boss locking mailbox, a Mail Boss post, and/or and one of our spreaders. When mounted with a single
mailbox that is mounted on an individual post, the newspaper holder can hang on either side of the post.
When mounting three newspaper holders on a triple spreader, the center newspaper holder will have to
sit o to one side of the post while the other holders will lie directly underneath their respective curbside
Mail Boss. When using a double or quad spreader, all the newspaper holders will mount directly centered
under each box.
If you are mounting this newspaper holder on our post with a single mailbox or you are mounting it under the center mail
box on a triple spreader, see gure 1A. If you are mounting this newspaper holder underneath a double, quad spreader, or
on the outer edges of a triple spreader see gure 1B.
Step 1
1A
Center the four rubber washers over the 4 holes in the
top of the holder that are the closest to the front
opening. Line up the circular holes in the bracket with
the holes on the rubber washers as shown in gure 1A.
(Note: you can rotate the bracket 180 degrees depending on if you want your newspaper holder on the left or
the right side of the post)
Insert the four stainless steel machine screws through the top and into the newspaper holder as displayed in gure 2A and 2B.
While pressing each screw down with your thumb, nger tighten the stainless steel nuts, ange rst, on the inside of the
newspaper holder. Using a #2 Phillips screw driver, tighten each of these screws.

which are closest to the rear of the newspaper holder.

on the rubber washers. Make sure the elongated holes in
the bracket are centered over the newspaper holder as

Remove the 4 rubber plugs and the tube of grease from the hardware kit. Thoroughly coat the smallest side of the plugs with grease

entering your newspaper holder.
