12 & 13. Once in the open position place a front retainer clamp, flat washer, lock washer and the star knob on the front
mounting bolt underneath the cover and hand tighten. Be sure the front retainer clamp is clamping to the side rail
correctly. Test the cover again for proper operation; adjust as needed, then tighten the star knobs.
14. Attach the prop rod to the side rail.
15. Attach the drain tubes to the fittings at the front of the bed rail and position the tubes to divert water out of the
truck bed. This can be done by placing the tube behind a bed liner, through an existing hole in the bed, or by
drilling a 5/8” hole in the bulkhead.
Note:
If you choose to place the tube behind your bedliner, be sure your drain holes in the bed are not clogged.
Note:
If you choose to drill holes, be sure to clean up the metal shavings.
