Pre-assembly guidelines
Two or more people are recommended for installation and you should allow 1 to 1 ½ hours to complete.
Floor space about the size of pickup box is needed for assembly of the bed cover and rails.
Clear out the pickup box and clean the front and side bed rails.
Plastic bed liners may have to be cut or notched at the front of the bed if they touch the rolling
cover or interfere with proper canister location.
Drain tubes (2) 1/2" drain tubes connect to the bottom of canister and can exit out the floor or front of the pickup
bed. Some pickups have drain holes in the front of the bed towards each corner; others have plastic or rubber
plugs that can be drilled for the tubes. If needed a 1/2" hole can be drilled into both front corners of the box.
For pickups equipped with plastic bed-liners, holes for the drain tubes need to be drilled through the plastic only.
We recommend drilling additional holes through the floor of a plastic bed liner at the lowest points in front to
allow for water drainage.
