Securing Loose Cargo
RETRAX ™ covers make transporting
loose and large pieces of cargo safe
and secure; a unique feature that
most tonneau covers cannot claim.
To help secure any item too big to fit
under the cover, latch the lock handle
shut against the item to help keep it
in place (4).
CAUTION! All large and heavy cargo
must be secured by straps etc.
Applied Products not responsible for
shifting cargo.

Closing and Locking the Cover
To latch your RETRAX ™ cover anywhere
along the rail, push down firmly on the
end of the lock handle using both thumbs
(3). It takes this amount of force because
it is a friction lock in any open position.
The
RETRAX ™ cover is easier to latch in
the fully closed position due to a recess
in the rail.
Opening and Using the Cover
Using your RETRAX ™ cover is as simple as opening the
lock cover and pressing the button at the center of the
latch to pop open the handle (1). If properly installed, the
cover should be able to roll open and closed easily with
one hand (2). During the break-in period more effort may
be needed, but you still should be able to roll the cover
open and closed with one hand.

Maintenance and Use Instructions
The Retrax cover has superior quality, rail weather-strip seals. These seals help minimize water intrusion into the pickup
bed. The initial break-in period for the rail weather-strip is about 48 hours in the fully closed position. Your cover may be
slightly harder to open and close during the break-in period.
Cleaning and Caring for Your Cover
Treat your RETRAX ™ cover like you would treat the hood of your truck.
You can wash and wax your cover like you would your pickup, but we
don’t recommend using any plastic cleaners or protectants (Carnauba
wax is fine on your
RETRAX ™ cover). To restore the luster to aluminum
parts periodically use a polishing compound followed by a non-abrasive
carnuba wax. The weatherstripping on your cover may absorb soapy
residue from a car wash, so we recommend wiping down the inside of
your rails from time to time (5).
Important:
NEVER spray any lubricant or cleaner in the rails. This will void your war-
ranty. The ball bearings are sealed and will not need any sort of lubricant
or spray. If the rails do feel a little “sticky”, you may rub some paraffin
(candle) wax along them until they wear in (6).
