ATTENTION:
CHECKED TO ENSURE THEY HAVE NOT COME LOOSE. WE RECOMMEND DOING THIS AT THE TIME OF
INSTALLATION AND MONTHLY. A PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT PART IS THE SLIDE LOCK ASSEMBLY WHICH
IS LOCATED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DRAWER TOWARD THE REAR. WHEN THE DRAWER IS LOCKED IT
PREVENTS THE DRAWER FROM OPENING. THESE NUTS NEED TO BE ONLY LOOSE ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE
ASSEMBLY TO ROTATE. IF THEY WORK THEIR WAY ALL THE WAY OFF YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET
YOUR DRAWER OPEN. OVER TIME THE NUTS MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE THE NYLOCK IS
STILL EFFECTIVE.

PLEASE READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALL

SAFETY WARNING! INSTALLATION REQUIRES 2 PEOPLE AND HEAVY LIFTING. Only use the handle

to maneuver the drawer. All fasteners will need to be periodically checked for looseness or wear. The slides should be
checked regularly for damage. The slides will need to be cleaned regularly to ensure smooth operation. Only operate drawer
when the vehicle is level. Do not load more weight than the drawer is rated to handle at the proper settings. Do not use the
drawer for any other applications than it is designed for. No one should ever stand or sit on the drawer whether it is in
operation, latched open, or latched shut whether the vehicle is in motion or still. Everyone except the operator should
maintain a safe distance of 4’ while the drawer is being maneuvered to avoid pinch points and shifting. No one should ever be
under the drawer. The vehicle should never be operated unless the drawer is latched securely in its closed position and the
tailgate is secured shut. The drawer should never be used in a vehicle without a tailgate. All loads on top of the drawer
enclosure should be secured down when the vehicle or drawer is in operation. Large loads and heavy loads on top of the

mounted in the vehicle the same way it is mounted to the pallet.

2. First remove all the packaging around the drawer and inspect the drawer assembly for damage.

3. Remove the drawer from the enclosure. To do this unlock the camlock then rotate the handle on the front of the drawer up to

disengage the slide lock assembly. Then pull the drawer out until it hits the stops, lift up on the front end of the drawer to allow
the stop bolt to clear the stop bracket and continue pulling the drawer until it is all th e way out. (See Figure 1)
