The machined end of the rail attaches to the canister.

You will need to lift the hanging portion of the ribbed blanket
and thread it in the rail while sliding the rail into the rail grip
mounted to the ends of the canister (the underside of the
blanket ribs need to nest on the gear
)
.

Make sure both fl anges of rail slide into the rail grip.

Push the rails forward against the canister.

Complete for both left and right rails.

Remove the support or stand and lower the canister and rail
assembly onto the front sill and rails of the truck bed.

Slide the entire canister and rail assembly forward against the
cab end of the truck bed.

Close the tailgate and pull the rails only toward it leaving
approximately 1/8” gap between the end of the rails and the tailgate.

Be sure to hold the canister in place to ensure it does not move from the front truck bed sill with the rails while adjusting
the gap of the rails to the tailgate.

STEP 5: INSTALLING CLAMPS & RAIL BRACKETS

HARDWARE USED:

Tie down Bar

Rail

Outer Angled
Rail Clamp

(Narrower Edge
DOWN!)

Inner Rail
Clamp

Rail Clamp
Bracket B

Rail Clamp
Bracket A

Truck Bed

Outer Angled
Rail Clamp

(Narrower Edge
DOWN!)

Inner Rail
Clamp

Set Screw

Slide the four (4) Inner Rail Clamps (2 on each side) through the Tie Down Bars of the truck.

Place the Outer Angled Rail Clamps on the Inner Rail Clamps

(MAKE SURE THE NARROWER

EDGE IS DOWN ON THE OUTER ANGLED RAIL CLAMPS)

loosely fasten the clamps in place

with the 1/4” Washer, 1/4” Lock Washer and Rail Clamp Nut on both sides of the truck bed.

The fi rst clamp should be placed about 6 inches from the canister (closest to truck cab).

The second clamp assembly should be about 4 inches from the end of the Tie Down Bar (closest
to the tailgate).

Slide Rail Clamp Bracket A on each Rail followed by Rail Clamp Bracket B.

Rail Clamp Bracket A should be closest to the Cab of the truck.

Loosely assemble the Rail Clamp Brackets to the Outer Angled Rail Clamps with the 1/4”
Washer, 1/4” Lock Washer and 1/4-20 x 1/2” Bolt on each side of the truck bed.

Center the Rails in the Truck bed.

Check that the spacing in the truck bed between the Left and Right Rails is 50-5/16”.

Once correct spacing is achieved tighten ONLY the Rail Clamp Brackets A & B in place.

With the Tailgate in the closed position
correct spacing to the tailgate should be
1/16” to prevent the tailgate from striking
the side rails when closing.

Tighten the Set Screws on both Rail
Clamp Bracket A to hold rails in position.
(Adjust spacing from the tailgate by
moving rails forward or backward as
needed prior to fi nal tightening of set
screws
.)

Apply downward pressure while
tightening the Outer Angled Rail Clamp
to the Inner Rail Clamp, especially on
the tailgate end. This will ensure a tight
seal, fi rm seat, and good fi t on the truck
bed.
