INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1
1. Attach both left and right side rails to the truck bed. The end of the mounting rail with the drain tube tting
will go towards the cab of the truck, position ush to bulkhead.
2. Position the top edge of the mounting rail ush to the top edge of your truck bed rail.
3. Using three (3) clamps per side attach the rail to the bed, position the clamps adjacent to each of the black
rail spacers. Attach the clamp force spreader to the rear clamps on each side, inset photo. (Tip: Mount the
center clamp rst but do not tighten completely. This will give you the ability to adjust the rail as the outer
clamps are attached)
4. Tighten the clamps using a 1/2” socket. Install the bulkhead seal to the top of the front rail of the truck bed
and cut to length.

Warning! Do not overtighten the clamp
assembly. A torque wrench is not neces-
sary. If preferred, torque is apx 120 inch
lbs.
Warning! Clamps must be checked
periodically for tightness. Failure to do so
could result in damage to you or your
property.

8. Carefully unfold the cover. Position the cover so it is centered side to side and front to back on the truck bed.
9. Test the rear latching assembly for smooth operation as this is the best indicator of the cover being posi-
tioned correctly. Be sure the latches on both sides are engaging with the cover mounting rail.
Note: If your truck is equipped with a tailgate protector, you may need to slightly raise the rear of the side mounting
rails for the latches to engage properly.
10 & 11. Once the cover is located correctly, fold the cover to the open position. Pull the release cables on the
rear panel to release it from the side rail. Take care to fold it gently so the position of the cover is not
disturbed.

12 & 13. Once in the open position double check the clamp engagement to the side rail and tighten. Test the
cover again for proper operation, adjust as needed, then tighten the star knobs.
14. Attach the drain tubes to the ttings at the front of the bed rail and position the tubes to divert water out
of the truck bed. This can be done by placing the tube behind a bed liner, through an existing hole in the bed,
or by drilling a 5/8” hole in the bulkhead.
Note: If you choose to place the tube behind your bedliner, be sure your drain holes in the bed are not clogged.
Note: If you choose to drill holes, be sure to clean up the metal shavings.
