n DO NOT attempt to drive with the cover in the partially open position.
n DO NOT operate the vehicle with objects on top of the cover.
n NEVER allow children or pets to occupy the pickup box while the cover is closed.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
WRINKLES ON THE VINYL FABRIC AFTER ROLLING COVER CLOSED
n Pull the vinyl fabric taut from each side. For best results, the help of a second person pulling on the opposite side is preferable.
WIND LIFTS UP THE EDGE OF THE VINYL FABRIC
n Make sure to engage the hook and loop on the driver and passenger side rails after closing the cover. This may need to be
done periodically when taking long trips.
VINYL FABRIC FLUTTERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING
n Make sure hook and loop fasteners are set.
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE VINYL FABRIC
n Use a broom or brush to remove loose snow and ice. DO NOT use sharp or pointed tools to remove snow and ice.
n Direct sunlight will help melt snow and ice off the fabric.
TONNEAU COVER WILL NOT LATCH
n Make sure the side rails are spaced properly per step 8.
n Make sure the rails are spaced evenly, front to back.
n The latches need to move up and down freely. Lubricate if needed.
VINYL FABRIC HAS SHIFTED TOO FAR TO ONE SIDE
n Unlatch the cover at the tailgate, release the hook and loop along both sides, go to the shorter side of the tarp and tug.
The fabric will slide in the aluminum headers. Pull-on the shorter side until the tarp appears centered on the whole system.
Latch the cover and secure the hook and loop down both sides. Repeat if more adjustment is needed.
COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
n Clean with mild automotive soap and water or TruXedo Pro-Tex. A soft bristle brush may be used. Do not use vinyl conditioners
(i.e. Armor All®) because they will shrink the vinyl. The cover can be cleaned in a car wash.
n It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and
front corners to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
n It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closure. Clean away any excess dirt or grime.
n Covers that are used frequently or are subject to vibrations and impacts from rough roadways may require adjustment.
FAQ
WHY IS MY COVER HOLDING WATER AFTER IT RAINS?
Water pooling on the cover is normal because our cross bows are not arched. Since they are designed to sit at some water may
accumulate on the top of the cover. Once you drive your truck, the water will shed from the cover. Make sure to retighten the hook
and loop fasteners along the length of the bed.

PRE-SET TENSION CONTROL
There is no need to adjust cover tension. The latch assembly is already factory set to the
correct tension amount. Any modication done to the latch will void the warranty.
To keep the cover taut, periodically check the hook and loop and re-stretch the cover
fabric across the bed.
Periodically clean the hook and loop and latch with high-pressure water to remove dirt
and dust for continued ease of operation.
NOTE: The cover may appear looser or relaxed in cool and cold conditions and tighter
in warm and hot conditions.
