How to Open the Storage Box

1. Locate the two latches on the outside of the storage box.

   • One latch is on the driver’s side.

   • One latch is on the passenger’s side.

2. Release the outer latch on one side.

   • Pull or disengage the outer latch.

   • This will also release the inner latch attached to it.

3. Repeat on the other side.

   • Disengage the outer latch so the inner latch releases there as well.

4. Lift the lid.

   • Raise the lid of the storage box.

   • A strut will automatically hold the lid open.

Important Things to Know Before Using the Storage Box

• Maximum weight limit: 100 pounds.

  • Do not exceed 100 lbs, or the box may be damaged.

• Not fully weather-sealed:

  • The box does not have a full weather seal, especially in the corners.

  • There are drain holes at the bottom to let water escape.

• What to store inside:

  • Store items that are water-resistant or okay getting wet, such as:

  • Wheel chocks

  • Hoses

  • Camp chairs

  • Other durable outdoor gear

How to Close the Storage Box

1. Pull the handle on the strut.

   • This releases the support strut and allows the lid to close.

2. Lower the lid.

3. Secure the inner latch first.

   • Place the inner latch catch over the small latch on the lid.

4. Engage the outer latch.

   • Pull the outer latch over the inner latch until it locks into place.

5. Repeat on the other side.

   • Always secure inner latch first, then outer latch.

Optional Security

• The latch includes a small slot for a lock.

• You can add a small padlock or tie to keep the storage box closed.
