TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
WRINKLES ON THE FABRIC AFTER ROLLING COVER CLOSED
n
Pull the fabric taut from each side. For best results, the help of a second person pulling on the opposite side is preferable.
SAGGING FABRIC BETWEEN THE CROSS BOWS
n
Adjustment to automatic tension control may be required.
WIND LIFTS UP THE EDGE OF THE FABRIC
n
Make sure to engage the hook and loop on the driver and passenger side rails after closing the cover. This may need to be
done periodically when taking long trips.
FABRIC FLUTTERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING
n
Check cover tension, refer to the Automatic Tension Control section.
n
Make sure hook and loop fasteners are set. See Step 18-19.
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE FABRIC
n
Use broom or brush to remove loose snow and ice. DO NOT use sharp or pointed tools to remove snow and ice.
n
Direct sunlight will help melt snow and ice off the fabric.
TONNEAU COVER WILL NOT LATCH
n
Check side rails to make sure they are level. See Step 9.
n
Make sure the header seal is not caught between side rails & header.
n
Check the position of side rails on the pickup box. They may be positioned too low. See Step 9.
n
Make sure the cover has proper tension, refer to the Automatic Tension Control section.
FABRIC IS TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE
n
See Automatic Tension Control section to adjust tension.
FABRIC HAS SHIFTED TOO FAR TO ONE SIDE
n
Unlatch the cover at the tailgate, release the hook and loop along both sides, go to the shorter side of the tarp and tug.
The fabric will slide in the aluminum headers. Pull on the shorter side until the tarp appears centered on the whole system.
Latch the cover and secure the hook and loop down both sides. Repeat if more adjustment is needed.
COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
n
Clean with soap and water. Do not use vinyl conditioners (i.e. Armor All
®
).
n
It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps
and front header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
n
It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closure. Clean away any excess dirt or grime.
n
Covers that are used frequently or are subject to vibrations and impacts from rough roadways may require adjustment.
FAQ
WHY IS THERE A HOLE PUNCHED AT THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE RAIL OF THE TRUXEDO LO PRO, DEUCE
AND PRO X15 BUT NO LATCH?
All side rails are punched identically to keep them uniform, to ensure manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs.
By doing this, TruXedo can build and ship more covers while maintaining competitively priced products of the highest quality.
WHY IS MY COVER HOLDING WATER AFTER IT RAINS?
Water pooling on the cover is normal because our cross bows are not arched. Since they are designed to sit flat some water may
accumulate on the top of the cover. Once you drive your truck, the water will shed from the cover. Make sure to retighten the hook
and loop fasteners along the length of the bed.
