INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING DRAWER

Before attempting to install your new Tuffy Drawer, it is necessary to remove the drawer from the body. To do this, pull the drawer out as far as it can go then locate the small black plastic stops visible on the ball bearing drawer slides. One of the black stops will need to be deactivated by pressing down and the other one pulled up. Be careful not to break plastic stops. While deactivating the stops pull the drawer out and the slides will separate. When you are finished installing your drawer, line up the slides and push the drawer back in.

WARNING: If you are bolting your drawer through the side holes, be sure not to overtighten the bolts which can cause the top of the enclosure to “flex” downward. It may be necessary to install a spacer between the side of the drawer and the vehicle sidewall to prevent this bowing.

Mounting Directions

• Insert the studs on the drawer handle into the corresponding holes in the drawer. Secure handle with the ¼” nuts.

• If you are not going to use the side mounting holes, use the hole plugs provided.

• If you have any Rear Cargo Drawer accessories (Divider or Riser Kits), refer to their individual instructions for installation

• If you do not have any Rear Cargo Drawer accessories and would like to get some, call your nearest Tuffy Security Products dealer or call Tuffy direct. The divider kit allows you to neatly compartmentalize while the riser kit allows you to store items such as the soft doors under the drawer.

Lock it up!

ATTENTION:

FREQUENT LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY ON THE LOCKING SYSTEM

The pushbutton lock contains an “O” ring seal to protect the interior from dust and water. If this mechanism is not lubricated regularly it will become difficult to operate and it may not return to its home position preventing the key from operating the lock. If this happens simply pull up on the pushbutton to manually bring it back to its home position. Lubricate the pushbutton with a light lubricant such as silicone spray. The pushbutton may have to be periodically disassembled and cleaned.
