Bed Rail Tie-Down System
CAUTION!
The maximum load per cleat should not
exceed 250 lbs (113 kg) and the angle of
the load on each cleat should not exceed
45 degrees above horizontal, or damage to
the cleat or cleat rail may occur.
NOTE:
This feature is available for vehicles both
equipped, or not equipped, with a RamBox.
There are two adjustable cleats on each side
of the bed that can be used to assist in
securing cargo.
Each cleat must be located and tightened
down in one of the detents, along either rail,
in order to keep cargo properly secure.
To move the cleat to any position on the rail,
turn the nut counterclockwise, approximately
three turns. Then pull out on the cleat and
slide it to the detent nearest the desired
location. Make sure the cleat is seated in the
detent and tighten the nut.
To remove the cleats from the utility rail,
remove the end cap screw located in the
center of the end cap, using a #T30 Torx head
driver. Remove the end cap and slide the
cleat off the end of the rail.
