provide additional storage space in your vehicle. These units come
with assembly and installation instructions, a warranty, and a list

models: HD26NV2 and HD32NV2. The product is designed to be
installed using plusnuts, which require a specific drill bit size
and a setting tool. The user manual also provides important
precautions and warnings to ensure the safety of the installer.

Precautions:

• Air impact tools should not be used to avoid over-torqueing
  fasteners and causing fastener failure.
• All installation holes should be sealed with silicon or butyl
  sealant to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.
• Prior to drilling, inspect for fuel tank, fuel lines, brake
  lines, high voltage batteries, and electrical lines to avoid
  damaging critical vehicle systems or injuring the installer.
• Always use drill stops when drilling any installation holes to
  avoid damaging the vehicle.

Important Warranty Requirements:

1. Substituting Adrian Steel specified fasteners for assembly
   and/or installation will void the product warranty.
2. All holes drilled into the vehicle should have the raw metal
   edges sealed with a self-etching primer to resist corrosion and
   potential fastener point failure.
3. All fasteners used in the installation of this product should
   be tightened to the torque(s) specified in the instructions.
4. The instructions should be kept with the vehicle.
