Conditions of use
The Retractable Tonneau Cover is made of aluminium, plastics, and rubber.
To ensure a smooth and trouble free operation, it’s advised to follow this manual.
The Retractable Tonneau Cover has been designed for normal driving conditions on
roads; the design is lightweight and not suitable for extreme usage.
Temperature range: -30 to +80 degrees Celsius.
The purpose of The Retractable Tonneau Cover is to cover the bed from rain and dirt:
Designed to withstand rain water, some water ingress may occur. In the tailgate
area there will be water ingress due to lack of sealing.
Dust can enter the compartment through various gaps around the tailgate area,
other sealings etc.
The Retractable Tonneau Cover is made of aluminium proles which heats up and cools
down relatively quick according to weather conditions. This can cause condensation on
the inside of the proles and the panels.

The cover is not designed for loading although it can support normal snow loads. No
part of it can support any load from cargo or persons and the product might be dam-
aged if somebody stands on it. (Fig. 1)
The Retractable Tonneau Cover is NOT a 100% waterproof product, but oers good pro-
tection against the elements. It is weather resistant, meaning that some water penetra-
tion is acceptable.
The pull strap has been designed only for opening and closing the Roll cover. The
carabineer and ring can be damaged by excessive load.
Goods in the bed must be secured during transportation to prevent damage to the
structural parts of cover (especially the canister). (Fig. 2)
If the cover is closed and has water, snow, ice or dirt on the cover, it might enter into
the bed as the cover retracts. To avoid this, clean o the top surface of the cover prior to
opening. (Fig. 3)
When opening the cover, the opening should be careful and controlled using the pull
strap to prevent the cover from hitting the front with full speed, which it has NOT been
designed for. (Fig. 4)

2 Warnings
Do not drive with persons under the cover.
Do not allow persons or animals to stay in the bed when the cover is closed.
Temperatures can be very high under the cover when closed. (Fig. 5)
The pull strap should not be used to tie down cargo.
Do not disassemble the main shaft from the canister without relieving the spring
tension completely (See “Spring adjustment”). (Fig. 6)
Remove ngers from lamellas when opening and closing. (Fig. 7)
We do not recommend washing the cover in a brushless carwash, as the
coating may be damaged due to use of chemicals. (Fig. 8)
Wash the cover regularly using normal car shampoo and a soft, lint free cloth or
brush.
If washed in any carwash, or if any chemicals are used on the roll cover, please
ensure a pH value between 4 and 8 is used.

5 Spring adjustment
The main spring is positioned in the main shaft in the canister. The spring tension has
been adjusted by delivery and is ready to use.
Spring tension can easily be adjusted. At the right side of the canister end piece there is
a pinion. (Fig. 21) To adjust the tension:
Press the pinion inward to release the locking mechanism. Use a small wrench with
an 8 mm key: (Fig. 22)
While maintaining pressure on the pinion, adjust clockwise to increase spring
tension and make the Roll cover open faster (Fig. 23)
While maintaining pressure on the pinion, adjust anticlockwise to reduce spring
tension and make the Roll cover open slowly (Fig. 23)
WARNING - The main spring may cause injury if the canister is opened without relieving
the spring tension.
WARNING - Do not tighten the spring with a force higher than 7 Nm, and no lower than
5 Nm, as the spring might get damaged.

6.1 General cleaning
The cover should be cleaned on a regular basis using water with normal car
shampoo.
(Fig. 24)
Drains should be cleaned often to assure proper function of water management
(Fig. 25)
When cleaning, use a soft, lint free cloth or brush. Rinse soap foam o thoroughly with
fresh water, and dry with a clean cloth. It is vital that any other chemicals such as petrol,
strong alkaline or acid are NOT used on the surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaning tools such as steel wool, hard brushes, abrasive scourers, as
these may damage the coating surface and change the color or gloss levels of the nish.
