1. PLACE THE CANISTER Prior to placing canister in the bed you will want to protect the paint with a couple of towels or pieces of packing foam since the fit is very tight, there is a risk of scratching the sides of the bed. Blue painters tape works well for protection also. This will require two people. Set the canister on a stand at the front end of the bed so that the sides of the canister are above the sides of the truck bed about 3 inches. (A folding chair works well). (Fig.

3. INSTALLING THE DRAIN TUBES First ensure that the “o” ring is in place on the drain tube end being inserted into the canister. (This will prevent water leakage) 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. The drain tube should click into place. Route the end of the drain tubes out any existing drain holes present in the bed. FIG. 3A FIG.

. BOLT DOWN HORIZONTAL RAIL CLAMPS Fig. 6A Fig. 6B With the rails shimmed properly Measure the width between the rails at the canister end and then at the tailgate end. This width must not be wider at the tailgate than the canister end. The width is best if shimmed 1/16th to 1/8th maximum narrower at the tailgate end. With a partner on the outside of the truck to help, use the ¼-20x 1¼ Clamp Bolt, Fender washer, and ¼-20 nylock washer to secure all the clamps to the truck body. (Figure 6A & 6B) 7.

8. INSTALL VERTICAL RAIL CLAMPS Temporarily remove the end cap screw. (Figure 8A) Slide the clamps on the vertical rail and secure into place with the allen wrench and set screw. (Figures 8B & 8C) Match Drill the Vertical Rail clamps to the truck body. (Figure 8D) Add shims as needed then secure the vertical rail clamps with your partner on one side you on the other. (Figure 8E) Secure the Vertical rail stop strip to the corner blanket guide. with the #6-32-⅜ STOP STRIP CORNER SCREW (Figure 8F) Fig.

9. INSTALL THE TOP COVER Install the top cover on the canister making sure it is flush with the horizontal rail. Use the 2-Black Top Cover Screws. 10. LUBRICATE THE RAILS Use the included 303 protectant to lubricate the sweep seal and wear strip. This ensures the cover glides smoothly the first time it is very important to lubricate the seals on the rails. You will need to periodically lubricate these seals throughout the life of the cover. We recommend using the 303 Brand protectant. 11.

HELPFUL MAINTENANCE HINTS To assure quiet, smooth operation, apply a small amount of grease to the guide strips where the metal end of the panels and the guide strips meet. This initial application should be sufficient for a year or more. Regrease the guide strips if the cover begins squeaking during use. Drain tubes may become clogged over time and should be removed and cleaned. Periodically remove the top cover and clean out the canister.
