Side mounted tool bins:Watertight bins can be positioned at any point
along the side rails and can be easily removed (even when full), and
carried to wherever the contents are needed. Each bin will hold up to
60 lb (27 kg) of cargo, and has a drain plug for use as a cooler.Note:
When multiple bins are placed on one side of the pickup box, the total
cargo weight in all bins on that side of the pickup box cannot exceed
60 lb (27 kg).
•To access the lock, pull the tab at the base of the rubber cap to
uncover the lock. When you are done with the lock always reinstall
the rubber cap on the lock to ensure proper sealing. When the bin is
unlocked the rubber cap does not need to be removed to open the
bin, just press the rubber cap to unlatch the lid.
•The lock cylinder is keyed to the first ignition key to be turned in the
lock. This allows one key to work all bins, even if more are ordered
through the dealer. The dealer will usually key the locks during
pre-delivery, but if necessary, simply remove the sticker covering the
keyhole, insert ignition key and turn to the extent of travel in each
direction. This key will then be the only key to unlock the bin.
•Once the key has been set, simply turn the key to the right to lock, or
to the left to unlock. When locked, the push-button will not depress
when pushed.
