NOTE
Cover may not completely cover the outside edge of the bed rails due to slight differences in truck bed shape for different year models.
Folding Up the Cover
Open the tailgate and release the rear latches. Fold up the cover once, and secure the rear latches into the grooves on both sides as shown in Fig.1 to avoid the rear latch handle hanging freely (Fig.2) and damaging the vinyl when the cover is folded again. When the cover is folded at the cab, ensure the safety buckles are properly secured on both sides.
Adjusting Clamp Position
The factory position has been set for optimal tment, but if necessary, the horizontal clamp position can be adjusted by releasing the top Phillips Screw and relocating the clamp to 1 of the 3 available positions.
SAFETY NOTES
- Check and secure all clamps before driving.
- Do not drive with cover folded open and safety straps un-buckled.
- Do not overload cargo or place sharp objects in contact with the cover.
- Safety clamps provide additional security, but they do not replace front clamps. Front clamps must be securely attached.
- The maximum weight capacity of the cover is 30 lbs, weight must be evenly distributed.
- If the truck is equipped with an Over-the-Bedrail bed liner (Fig. 3) or bedside rail cap with a plastic lip lower than the factory metal bed lip (Fig. 4), small holes of about 2” x 4” will need to be cut on the plastic liners so the clamps can be fastened securely to the metal part of the truck bed lips (Fig. 5).
