5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 6: INSTALLING DRAIN TUBES
The RamBox has standard OE plastic/rubber access ports in the wall at the front of the truck bed. Remove these plugs
they should pop right out.
Once removed use a suitable drill bit (such as a taper drill or step drill) and drill or create drain tube clearance holes
at 3/4” (19mm) through the removed plugs.
Ensure that the foam washer is in place on the drain tube end being inserted into the bottom of the canister (This will
prevent water leakage).
Test fi t the drain tube to determine the length you want to trim it. Always caution on the long side.
With the cover opened, insert the drain tube fi ttings into the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the canister by fi rmly
pushing them in place from under the canister. Drain tube should click into place. (This is a tight fi t that may require
much pressure and a slight turning of the tube as it is being pushed in.)
Place the other end of the drain tube through the front access drain port plug.

You have now completed the installation of your JackRabbit hard tonneau cover. If you have any questions please do
not hesitate to call us at: (800) 338-3697 and ask for our technical service department.
Place the Top Cover on the canister and install
with the two black Top Cover screws into the top
cover mounting blocks. (we recommend that you
use a thread locking adhesive like Loctite® on the
screws)
Retract the cover to the fully open position.
Attach the 4” Velcro strip onto the Velcro strip
already attached to the pull strap.
Pull the pull strap over to the driver’s side rail and
remove the tape from the 4” Velcro strip.
Then apply the Velcro strip onto the underside of
the rail at your desired position. (Figure 8a)
This will hold the pull strap off of the fl oor and out
of the way when cargo is being stored in the truck
bed.
STEP 7: ATTACHING TOP COVER & VELCRO TO PULL STRAP

Locate the sweep seals (rubber weather strips) on the rails. Open
the provided 303 brand protectant sponge pack (fi nd it adhered
to the underside of the top cover lid) and wipe the underside of
the sweep seal and the top of the wear strip.
Extend the cover to the tailgate. Use an Allen wrench if needed
to carefully draw out the sweep seal (seal should be angled
outwards toward the cover – not rolled in toward the bed rail).
(Fig. 6A)
Proper care and placement of the sweep seal will ensure smooth
operation of the cover. Alcohol, petroleum based or silicon-based
cleaners such as Armor-All
® should be avoided and ARE NOT
recommended for our covers
