A.Unroll cover and place rear bar into
strikes on side rails. Press down on bar to
close (20-30 pounds pressure). The cover
fabric may be tight. Over time under ten-
sion it will conform to its hardware and
loosen slightly. If bar is too hard to push
down, adjust tensioners equally as needed
to close.
5: INITIAL OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
B. Close tailgate slowly - top of tailgate
should t snug under cover bar. If it is too
tight - raise rails by loosening rear clamps
adjust rail up and tighten clamps. If too
loose adjust rails lower.
C. Check cover tension by releasing
autolatch and open and close rear bar
several times. It should snap down when
closing. Cover fabric should sound drum
like when tapped on. If adjustment is
needed, roll cover open and to loosen
turn XT-Dial Clockwise. To tighten
turn XT-Dial Counter Clockwise.
Always turn Dials in Equal
amounts. See photo at left.
D. When done, always seal both
sides of cover with hook and loop
system. For detailed operating
instructions see Page 7.
TIP: Reasons to keep cover drum tight:
1) Lasts longer
2) Less noise
3) Looks nicer

• Keep cover closed when not in use and always seal cover edges with
hook and loop sealing sytem the full length of cover on both sides.
• 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 in-
stead 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
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
• 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 and
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
• 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 covers 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 contents in truck box.
• The cover does not eliminate moisture and dust from entering the truck box. Special wrappings or
packaging of the contents 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 with manual slide lock.
• ALWAYS nish securing the cover. Use caution when operating cover in windy conditions.
• Periodically check and/or retighten clamp bolts as needed.
• Periodically check and/or retighten front bar tensioning bolts as needed.
• Periodically check and/or adjust Autolatch strap to ensure latches fully engage side rails.
