Step 8: Test Unit Operation

Step 9: Opening and Closing / Adjusting

the Hinged Lid

To close the Cover, pull the Pull-Strap hand-over hand, allowing the excess strap to

fall into the bed until you can reach the Handle. Place your hands evenly spread on the

Handle and pull the Handle until it contacts the Tailgate Extrusion. As the Handle contact

the Tailgate Extrusion the spring loaded Latches (which were energized when the Cover

was retracted) will automatically trip, simultaneously latching the Cover to the tailgate

and side Tracks.

Lower the Lid and return the Latch Pins to locked

position by turning the knobs 1/4 turn.

Grasp the Latch Pin Knobs, pull out and turn knobs

90º to hold Pin in the unlock position. Grasp the Lid

and lift. Rest the Lid against the back of the cab to

hold open for service or cleaning (Diagram 24).

To Open:

To Close:

Raise Lid and loosen the nylock nut on each Lid

Latch Bracket, move the top half of the Bracket one

notch toward the tailgate. Tighten both nuts and

close Lid (Diagram 25).

If Lid is loose:

Raise Lid and loosen the nylock nut on each Lid Latch Bracket, move the top half of the

Bracket one notch toward the Housing. Tighten both nuts and close Lid (Diagram 26).

Repeat if further adjustments are needed.

If Lid is tight:

To open the Cover, pull back slightly on the Handle to relieve spring tension from the

Latch Mechanisms and turn the Lock Lever clockwise to the 10 o’clock position. The

Cover should retract on it’s own with only a slight push to set it into motion. When the

Cover is retracting it is best to hold the Pull-Strap and allow it to slip through your ngers

as the Cover travels. Applying pressure to the Pull-Strap as it slips through your ngers

will act as a braking action, preventing the Handle from slamming into the Lid at high

speed. The Cover must retract with only enough force to rotate and reset the Lock Lever

and Latching Mechanism

In Step 6 the Cover was opened (retracted). This should have caused the Lock Lever to

enter the Lock Pocket and rotate to the 7 o’clock (latched) position.
