 Of How To Open Cover To The Front.

 

IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS CONTINUED:

Cover Tracking Marks:

 The cover will experience slight tracking marks from dust deposited on the top surface 

even after the first initial roll out. If there is a heavy deposit of dust, simply use a wet rag to wipe the 

top surface of the cover clean. 

Cover Tracking Mark Prevention:

 All truck beds will accumulate road dust. This dust will accumulate on the side 

rails and adhere to the underside of the truck cover. When the truck cover is rolled open, the underside 

of the cover can deposit dust onto the top surface. To prevent dust-tracking marks, periodically clean 

the side rail surfaces, rubber slat end caps, and underside surface of the cover to remove dust build 

up. Plugging air holes and gaps in the truck box construction will also greatly reduce dust intrusion 

into the truck box. Periodically cleaning the top surface with soap and water will also help prevent 

dust-tracking marks.
