Prior to drilling, check underneath
vehicle to make sure there is nothing
below the holes, such as electrical wiring, hoses, fuel
tank, fuel lines, brake lines, mufflers, spare tire, or
other important parts which could be damaged by
drilling. Contact with electrical wiring, hoses, fuel tank,
fuel lines, brake lines, mufflers, spare tire, or other
important parts COULD result in death or serious injury.
To reduce the weight of the unit during installation, it is
s
recommended to remove the drawers from the unit.
It is suggested (but not required) to bolt the slide frame
s
to the truck bed. The frame cross members have been
pre-punched to allow for thorough bolting. Use Grade 8
stainless steel fasteners (not included). See Figure 1.
