HELPFUL MAINTENANCE HINTS
1. To open the cover, turn the actuator knob clockwise 90 o until it clicks in the open position. This retracts the
latches into the handle and the cover is free to roll open into the canister. A tug on the pull strap will release
the latch and allow the cover to lock into the rails.
2. To latch the cover in one of the mid-range positions, pull it back just beyond the position desired and allow the
cover to retract until it latches into place. Latching positions are located every 12 inches along the rails. The
clicking sound is the spring-loaded latches mounted inside the handle. The latches are designed to bypass the
latching positions as the cover is being closed and to stop the cover as it is being retracted.
3. To close the cover, pull on the strap to draw it back toward the tailgate. When it is within easy reach, grasp the
handle by the hand grip and pull the cover to the latching position against the tailgate.
4. To use the key lock, position the cover on the truck bed with the actuator knob in the closed position and turn
the key.
To assure quiet, smooth operation, apply a small amount of
Pace Edwards’ UV Protectant (or 303 brand lubricant) to a
rag and wipe the underside of the sweep seal and the top
of the wear strip. Re-apply if the cover begins squeaking or
sticking during use. (Fig. 1)
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.
Periodically remove the Top Cover and clean out the
canister.
It is important to open and close the cover regularly; the
spring that operates the cover is self-lubricated and regular
use assures that it stays in proper working condition.
Drain tubes may become clogged overtime and should be
removed and cleaned. To remove the drain tubes you must;
Remove the Top Cover, close the cover to the tailgate, reach
in the canister and depress the plastic retaining tabs on the
drain tube fi ttings and push the drain tube out of the hole in
the bottom of the canister. (Fig. 2)
To help keep the JackRabbit tonneau cover looking it’s best, we recommend washing it the same as caring for
your truck fi nish. However you should not wax your cover. Using a citrus-based vinyl cleaner and protectant such
as Pace Edwards Brand or the 303 brand will keep your cover looking like new. Alcohol, petroleum based or
silicon-based cleaners such as Armor-All should be avoided and ARE NOT recommended for our covers.
