6 ELECTRIC RETRACTABLE UTILITY BED COVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5. INSTALL AND MATCH DRILL THE HORIZONTAL RAIL CLAMPS
Make sure the canister is centered in the truck bed at this point and throughout this step.
(Flexing the rails inward prevents the clamps from scratching the paint) .
Install the rail clamps by fl exing the rails inward slightly, then slide one rail clamp all the way forward against the
canister on both rails about 4”-6” from the canister. (Figure 5A) Tighten the set screw (Figure 5B) Do the same for
the Middle clamp (place midway between the two other clamps) and the End clamp (Place about an inch from the
corner channel) on both side rails (left and right).
Apply downward pressure to the rail and match drill the truck body with the hole in the the clamp. (Figure 5C)
4. INSTALLING THE DRAIN TUBES
First ensure that the “o” ring is in place on the drain tube end being inserted into the canister. (This will prevent water
leakage)
With the cover opened, insert the drain tube fi ttings into the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the canister by
pushing them in place from
under the canister.
The drain tube should click into
place.
Route the end of the drain tubes
out any existing drain holes
present in the bed.
If no drain holes are provided
you will have to drill 2 - ¾” holes
that you can push the drain hose
through. (Make sure to touch
up any holes drilled to prevent
corrosion)
.
6. SHIM THE HORIZONTAL RAIL CLAMPS (IF NEEDED)
Measure between the rails to determine the need for shims. (Figure 6A)
The gap between the backside of the rail clamp and the side of the truck bed will need to be shimmed. Remove
the paper backing to expose the sticky side of the shim. (Figure 6B)
To shim, move the rail clamp and place as many of the plastic shims between the rail and the bed sidewall as
needed to fi ll the gap. (Figure 6C) Place the same number of shims on each side rail to maintain even centering.
