FEATURE OPERATION

LOCK SYSTEM

The WEATHER GUARD® EXTREME PROTECTION® Lock is designed to provide maximum security, while providing ease of use

and years of reliable service. When in the locked mode, he button remains retracted in a tamper-resistant position. When the button is

pressed in the unlock mode, the latches are activated and the cover opens.

LOCK

Turn the key counterclockwise to the locked position

as indicated on the lock bezel. When the button is

now pressed, it will stay in the retracted or tamper-

resistant position until unlocked.

UNLOCK

Turn the key clockwise to the unlocked posi-

tion as indicated on the lock bezel. Button will

pop out and is now ready to release the latches

when pressed.

NOTE: Mounting clamp bolt may be difficult to turn due to the "lock nut" feature. Apply

a small amount of grease to bolt threads prior to installation to ease assembly.

LATCH SYSTEM

The WEATHER GUARD® Latch System utilizes automotive grade latches in conjunction with high strength latch strikers to ensure maxi-

mum security. The WEATHER GUARD® Latch System is designed to open with a single touch of the button, and close securely. Expect

years of reliable service from the WEATHER GUARD® Latch System with only minimal maintenance: Lubricate latch pivot points bian-

nually with white grease. If latch strikers are accidentally knocked out of alignment, simply use a mallet to realign.

12V ELECTRICAL ACCESS

The WEATHER GUARD® Truck Boxes are equipped with a 12-volt electrical

access grommet for easy electrical accessory ﬁt-ups. To use, simply cut along

one or more perforations in the rubber grommet and run wire through.
