NOTE ON BED LINERS: With an under-the-rail drop-in bed liner, installation is
possible with minimal trim/cutting of bed liner at front corner of box and back by
tailgate to allow side rail to install properly. Considerable trim/cutting is required
with an over-the-rail drop-in bed liner.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

PREPARATION
This edge of rail ush
with top on side of
box at front
This surface of
the rail should
be level
B. At front, adjust top of rail ush with
top of box and hold it there with as-
sistance of another person or with a
spring clamp.

E. Install second clamp on rail at
midway point of box. Adjust rail ush
at top of box and repeat clamping
procedure, always making sure teeth
are engaged on rail grooves.
D. With rail ush at top of box and
clamp teeth engaged, tighten clamp.
Check if rail is level. If rail tilts up,
loosen clamp; lower it; engage teeth;
and tighten it. If rail tilts down, loosen
clamp; raise it; engage teeth; and
tighten it.
F. At tailgate, adjust rail height ush
with top of tailgate. Repeat clamp-
ing procedures placing third clamp
as close to tailgate as possible.
NOTE: For trucks with an elec-
tric tailgate, rails will have to be
installed slightly higher (approxi-
mately 3/16”) to eliminate interfer-
ence. Most short box kits contain 6
total clamps. Install 3 per side rail.
For kits with 8 total clamps, install
the 4th clamp between 2nd and 3rd
clamp on each side rail. Repeat
STEP 1 to install rail on opposite
side. When done, make sure all
clamps are torqued to 20 ft-lbs on
both rails.
IMPORTANT: To keep rail on
truck secure, make sure clamp
teeth engage grooves on rail,
turn nut nger tight and then use
wrench to nish tightening.

A. Unroll cover and place rear bar
into strikes on side rails. Press down
on bar to close (20-30 lbs pressure).
The cover fabric may be tight. Over
time, under tension, it will conform
to its hardware and loosen slightly. If
bar is too hard to push down, adjust
tensioners equally as needed to
close.
6. INITIAL OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
C. Check cover tension by releasing
AUTOLATCHTM II and open and
close rear bar several times. It
should snap down when closing.
Cover fabric should be tight with
no sagging between the bows. If
adjustment is needed, roll cover
open and to loosen turn XT-DIALTM
clockwise. To tighten turn XT-
DIALTM counter clockwise. Always
turn dials in equal amounts.

D. When done, always seal both
sides of cover with hook and loop
system. For detailed operating
instructions see Page 8.
TIP: Reasons to keep cover drum
tight:
1) Lasts longer
2) Less noise
3) Looks nicer
IMPORTANT: When done, go back and double check each clamp and
make sure they are fully tight. Start behind cab and work towards tailgate.
B. Close tailgate slowly - top of
tailgate should t snug under cover
bar. If tonneau cover hampers
normal tailgate operation, raise rails
by loosening rear clamps; adjust
rails up; and tighten clamps. If
there is too much space between
tailgate and cover bar, lower rails by
loosening rear clamps: adjust rails
down; and retighten clamp.

• Keep cover closed when not in use and always seal cover edges the full
length of box on both sides with hook and loop sealing system.
• Keep the cover tight; cover vinyl should sound drum-like when
tapped on.
• Make sure cover is properly latched and sealed. Lock while traveling and
before entering automatic drive-through car washes.
• Avoid storing cover in its rolled up position for long periods of time.
• When cleaning, for best results use mild liquid soap and water. Never clean
with petroleum or citrus based products.
• Periodically treat cover with our COVER CARE®Cleaner & UV protectant
instead of petroleum based products that may dry out and damage the vinyl.
• Avoid allowing cargo to rub against cover while transporting, whether in
open or closed position.
TIPS FOR A LONGER LASTING COVER

1111
• Inspection and much of the maintenance can be done by the
operator. It may be necessary to review the installation and operating
instructions.
• Periodically inspect the cover assembly and the condition of all parts.
Check for loose bolts and parts, tighten if needed. Test the operation
to ensure that the parts are functioning properly and that the cover is
in top operational condition.
• If latch has been damaged, replace with new one. NOTE: Inspection
and/or maintenance should also be performed anytime a malfunction
is observed or suspected. If you need assistance inspecting and/or
servicing your cover, or if you want to order a replacement part, call
the customer service number on the back page. Always use original
equipment replacement parts for your cover.
• Do not cover cargo that is higher than the cover.
• Do not place object(s) on or against the cover or its framework at any time.
• Always secure cargo so it cannot shift and damage the cover or its parts.
• Do not use the cover’s framework to tie down cargo.
• Never stand, sit or ride on the cover or allow others to do so.
• Do not leave valuables in an unattended vehicle as cover does not prevent
theft of cargo in truck box.
• The cover does not eliminate moisture and dust from entering the truck
box. Special wrappings or packaging of the cargo may be necessary.
• Due to poor ventilation, if you allow a pet/animal in the box, leave cover
open. Do not allow people or animals to occupy box with the cover closed.
• When towing vehicle backwards, cover must be rolled fully open and
secured with safety straps or fully closed and secured.
• ALWAYS nish securing the cover by sealing sides.
• Use caution when operating cover in windy conditions.
• Periodically check and/or retighten clamp and front bar tensioning
bolts as needed.
• Periodically check AUTOLATCHTM II cord to ensure latches fully
engage side rails.
