LOWER DOOR PROCEDURES 
 

a.

 

Make sure the electrical supply from the tractor to the truck bed is properly 
connected.  

b.

 

Push the rubber booted switch on the rear tail fin, above the conveyor electric 
switch.  See the red circle in Figure 13 above, to close or open the door to the

SIDE DOOR OPERATION 
 

 

Figure 14- Sideboard Door Operation 

The side door is operated by a switch generally located on the dashboard of the truck. 
The door will function in either the opening or closing motion as long as the switch is 
held in that position. 

 

COATING CARE AND CORROSION PREVENTION 

 

Your truck bed may be coated with a high-performance polyurethane paint.  This paint is 
designed to give you durable performance in the rugged environments encountered by 
your truck bed.   
 
The best way to preserve the finish on your truck bed and help prevent corrosion is to 
wash it regularly, especially after it has been used around road salt or other ice melting
