STEP 5 Lift the assembled cover into the bed.
Roll the cover into the canister and push down firmly on
the rounded end of the lock until it latches. Close the tail-
gate on the pickup. Using two people, lift the bed cover by
the front of the rail and two feet to the back. Set the as-
sembly in place at the very front of the bed. NOTE: The
rubber weather-strip on the front cover should lie
on top of the pickup’s front rail - pointed towards
the cab.
(NOTE: If needed, gently push and twist the rails slightly inward to drop
into place. If there are aftermarket bed rail caps or an over the rail spray-
in-liner installed, then the white nylon rail adjustment screws may have to
be turned counter-clockwise 2-3 complete turns. Turn out all screws
evenly until the cover drops into place.)
A latch is found on a Manual Cover Only. See Power-
traxPRO Installation Supplement on how to move
electric cover.

STEP 6 Position the
cover.
Move the rails
forward or back to achieve
a 1/8" gap between the
bottom notch of the rail
and the inside face of the
closed tailgate or tailgate
protector. Measure both
sides. Use the supplied
1/8” thick measurement
tool to achieve the correct
1/8" gap.
Note: Keep rails from moving
once in position 1/8" from the
tailgate.
STEP 7 Install the front set of
clamps.
Start with the two clamps clos-
est to the canister.
If your model has two sizes
of clamps, the clamps for the front are marked CAB.
Proper clamp location is between the two
adjustment screws. The adjustment
screws are set at different depths depend-
ing on your model. These screws may be
adjusted later. DO NOT ADJUST NOW!
STEP 8 Install the rear set of
clamps.
Attach the rear set of clamps.
Push down on the rail as you tighten the
clamp bolts for a better seal on top of the
pickup box rails.
The rear of the rail may need to be tilted up
or down for best fit over the tailgate or tail-
gate protector.
Note: Plastic bed liners may have to be cut at the
front of bed so the bed cover can be moved forward
to achieve proper 1/8” clearance at the tailgate.

The clamps should be installed as high up as possible to engage more teeth on the rail. Using a 9/16”
wrench, tighten the clamps. If the clamp wants to rotate while tightening, hold with pliers or vice-grip.
