First, ensure that the Foam Washer is in place on the Drain Fitting as this washer will 
help prevent water leakage. Next, test fit the drain tube to determine the length you 
want  to  trim  it.  Always caution  on  the  long side.  Trim the  end  that  will  be  inserted 
through the truck bed using the wire cutters or a utility knife. 

With the cover opened, insert the drain tube fittings into the pre-drilled holes on the 
underside  of  the  canister  by  pushing  them  in  place  from  under  the  canister.  Drain 
Fitting should click into place. 

Place  the  other  end  of  the  drain  tube  through  the  plastic/rubber  access  port  or 
through the pre-drilled holes in the floor or the front wall of the truck bed. If routing 
through the front wall, ensure that the drain tubes are inserted and directed down so 
the water flows out of the truck bed. 

To remove the drain tubes reach under the canister, grab the drain tube fitting and 
turn  it  while  applying  light  downward  pressure.  When  the  retaining  tabs  align  with 
the notches in the bottom of the canister the Drain Tube and Fitting will drop out. 

STEP 8: INSTALLING THE DRAIN TUBES 

STEP 9: ATTACHING TOP COVER & VELCRO TO PULL-STRAP 

4” Velcro Strip 

Place  the  Top  Cover on  the  canister  and  install 
with  the  four  Black  Top  Cover  Screws  through 
the  top  cover  endcaps  and  into  the  panel  nuts 
on the canister flanges. 

Retract the cover to the fully open position. 

Attach  the  4”  Velcro  Strip  onto  the  Velcro  al-
ready attached to the pull-strap. 

Pull the pull-strap over to the driver or passen-
ger  side  rail  and  remove  the  tape  from  the  4” 
Velcro Strip. 

Then apply the Velcro Strip onto the underside 
of the rail at your desired position. 

This will hold the pull-strap off of the floor and 
out of the way when cargo is being stored in the 
truck bed. 

HARDWARE USED: 

Black Top Cover
