NOTE: If installing the box on top of a stake bed, disregard these instructions. Mount the box with the bottom fully
supported or structural damage will occur to the box.
NOTE: When installing in a pickup bed the box must be installed per these instructions using the mounting legs supplied.
This box must never be bolted to a ladder rack or structural damage will occur to the box.
NOTE: To prevent rust from occurring, touch-up any drilled holes.
STEP 1. Park the vehicle as level as possible.
STEP 2. Turn the box over, and at each end of the box, mark a 6" long line 7/8" in from and parallel to the end. Start the line at
the front of the bottom (see Figure 1). For Models 272-3-02/290-3-02/291-3-02/296-3-02/297-3-02/ 372-X-02/390-X-02/391-X-
