1 INSTALL THE WEATHER PROOF SEAL
Wipe the surface of the bulkhead with alcohol or cleaner, to avoid any
debris.
Apply the weather proof strip seal along the top of the bulkhead.
2 SETTING THE SLIDE RAILS
With the tailgate closed, place the left & right side slide rails on each
side of the truck bed.
The slot in the bracket of the slide rails need to be placed as far
forward, toward the bulkhead of the vehicle, as possible.
Rails should be completely level before proceeding.
3 CLAMPING THE SLIDE RAILS
With the slide rails sitting ush & square along the truck bed, loosely
install the number of clamps needed for your truck bed length,
starting from the front of the vehicle:
Short Bed Requires 6 (3 on each slide rail)
Long Bed Requires 8 (4 on each slide rail)
Ensure each clamp is evenly spaced out and inserted as far up as
possible with the clamp teeth properly aligned in the slide rail’s slots.
Starting from the front of the vehicle, push down on the slide rail
above each clamp while tightening the bolts to ensure a secure and
weather proof seal. A second pair of hands may make this easier.
PLEASE NOTE: The clamp closest to the tailgate should be at least 6
inches away from the tailgate.
Tighten until snug and then torque and additional 1/2 turn.

4 SET THE COVER
Take the cover in the folded position and place it on the slide rails
towards the front of the truck bed (as shown in Figure 4A on the
previous page) with the smallest panel facing up.
Slide the bolt into the slot bracket of the rails on each side of the truck
(as shown in Figure 4B)
5 ATTACHING THE FRONT PANEL BOLT
Place a rubber washer, then a at washer, onto the underside of the
bolt in the slot bracket, and attach with a star knob.
Only tighten hand-tight at this time to allow for adjustments, if needed.
Next, unfold the cover towards the tailgate to ensure the cover ts
squarely between both rails. The aluminum frame should rest inside
the tailgate with approximately a quarter inch clearance.
The ap seal should rest along the top of the tailgate.
One tment is conrmed, fold back the cover and fully tighten the star
knob to secure the cover to the slide rail.
6 INSTALLING THE DRAIN TUBE
Attach the clear drain tubes to the plug in the slide rail found near the
bulkhead on each side of the vehicle (as shown in Figure 6).
The drain tubes must go through the manufacturers bed plug, which
can be removed or you can drill a hole through the plastic.
For those with a drop-in bedliner, you can run the tubes behind or
under the liner.
7 INSTALLING THE BUCKLES
Assemble the buckles using the included parts and straps.
Attach the buckle assembly using 4 screws for each side (as shown
in Figure 7).

Figure 8B)
Congratulations!
You have completed the installation
AFTER INSTALLATION
Ensure the cover latches correctly making contact with the slide rails.
Seals can show signs of wrinkle after completing the installation.
An easy x for this is either leaving your truck in the sun, or you can
use a hair dryer along the edge of the seal to smooth it out.

TONNEAU COVER OPERATION
OPENING TONNEAU COVER
Release latches are located in the front corners on each side of every panel in the tonneau cover. To open, pull one latch and lift
the panel.
CLOSING TONNEAU COVER
Gently lower the tonneau cover panels until they latch with the side rails on the truck bed. The cover features a universal
tailgate seal, allowing the tailgate to be closed before or after the tonneau cover is closed.
OPERATING POSITIONS
CLOSED
All panels must be closed and fully latched to the side rails.
FOLDED
Fold the cover into the fully folded position. Secure the cover in place by inserting the buckles into the clips on the forward
most panel. Tighten the buckle straps to rigidly hold the cover in place. When not in use, the buckles should be engaged in the
storage position.
OPEN
Lift the cover upwards until the rubber bumper is resting against the truck cab. Lock the cover in place by extending the prop
rod into the retention slot and engaging the latch on the rod. The tonneau cover should be rmly held in place with little to no
movement when the latch is engaged on the prop rod.
WARNINGS
Tonneau cover must be free of foreign material such as dirt, snow or ice before opening the panels.
Do NOT operate vehicle with objects or foreign material on top of tonneau cover.
Do NOT operate vehicle with cover in partially open or unsecured position.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically inspect your cover to ensure it is securely attached to the truck bed. Inspect the rail mounting clamps and the two
front mounting bolts to ensure they have not come loose or shifted during vehicle operation. Inspect the release latches and
clean any excess dirt or debris. Ensure latches operate smoothly and are properly engaged with the slide rails when closed.
WARRANTY
To be eligible for warranty, the owner must submit their warranty card or register online within 30 days of the purchase date.
