1. To open the cover, turn the actuator knob clockwise 90
o
until it clicks in the open position. This retracts the latches
into the handle and the cover is free to roll open into the canister. A tug on the pull strap will release the latch and
allow the cover to lock into the rails.
2. To latch the cover in one of the mid-range positions, pull it back just beyond the position desired and allow the
cover to retract until it latches into place. Latching positions are located every 12 inches along the rails. The
clicking sound is the spring-loaded latches mounted inside the handle. The latches are designed to bypass the
latching positions as the cover is being closed and to stop the cover as it is being retracted.
3. To close the cover, pull on the
strap to draw it back toward the
tailgate. When it is within easy
reach, grasp the handle by the
hand grip and pull the cover to the
latching position against the
tailgate.

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 water flows out of the truck.
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 notches in the bottom of the canister the Drain Tube and Fitting will
drop out.

Attach the 4” Velcro strip onto the Velcro strip
already attached to the pull strap. Pull the pull
strap over to the driver’s 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.
