NORTHERN TOOL EQUIPMENT Trailer Tongue Box Mounting
Read these instructions to familiarize yourself with assembly and
installation. This tool box is designed for certain applications only. 
NOTE : If your truck has a bed liner, use these instructions as a guide
only.
Due to the many differences in bed liner thickness and fit, longer fasteners
are highly recommended. You will need to ensure that your new truck box is
mounted securely to the truck, not the bed liner.
Caution : This tool box must be securely mounted to prevent movement or
shifting.
Warning : Any leaking caused by unsealed holes in the box bottom will
void the warranty.
SINGLE TUBE TONGUE MOUNTING (Fig. 1)
- Carefully place the Trailer Tongue Box in the location where you expect to mount it. Ensure the box is centered left to right on the tongue, and the lid will not contact anything when opened. Ensure the leveling crank on the trailer (if present) will not hit the box when the crank handle is rotated.
- Locate the two metal angle pieces that are supplied in the mounting kit.
- Have an assistant hold the box level while you align the angle pieces with the tongue of the trailer and the bottom of the box. Mark the angle locations on the bottom of the box for future mounting locations. (See Fig. 1).
- Locate the self-tapping screws included with the mounting kit. Hold the metal angle in place against the bottom of the box and drill through the bottom of the box and into the metal angles.
- P lace the box back on the trailer tongue in the original location. Drill through the angles and into the trailer tongue.
“Y” YOKE TONGUE MOUNTING (Fig. 2)
- Carefully place the aluminum Trailer Tongue Box in the location where you expect to mount it. Ensure the box is centered left to right on the tongue, and the lid will not contact anything when opened. Ensure the leveling crank on the trailer (if present) will not hit the box when the crank handle is rotated.
- If the box lines up with the two sides of the yoke, and the lid will open without interference, use the self-drilling screws to attach the box to the trailer frame.
- If necessary for additional stability, use the two pieces of metal angle to attach to the box bottom and trailer frame. If additional stability is not necessary, discard the mounting kit.
