CAUTION
Before driving with cover open, BOTH STRAPS MUST BE SECURED
TO RETAINING LOOPS. Failure to do so could cause accidental release of
the cover, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
CAUTION
ROLL COVER TIGHT. SECURE THE COVER APPROPRIATELY USING BOTH RETAINER
STRAPS. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. DO NOT STOW COVER AGAINST CAB WINDOW.
COVER MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Ice buildup within hinge section can occur if cover is stowed in open position. To prevent potential damage, close cover during winter
precipitation.
To Release Strap Push Tab Up.To Release Strap Push Tab Up.
1. Cover surface can be hand washed with mild soap and water or cleaned in a car wash. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue.
Never use vinyl conditioners that contain silicon, petroleum, or citrus based products on your truck bed cover as they may crack
and shrink the vinyl top surface.
2. The use of a power washer directed at the covers top surface from a few inches away will damage the surface. The nozzle end of a power
washer should be held at a minimum of 3 feet away from the top surface.
3.It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front header guide
slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
4. It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closures. Clean away any excess dirt or grime and lubricate with
silicone spray. Ensure the latches move freely in and out to properly engage the side rail and provide performance with optimal security. Be
careful not to overspray the cover.
