You have now completed the installation of the Bedlocker Electric 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.
HELPFUL MAINTENANCE HINTS
After installation, if the cover is tight or hard to open and close, the shimming
may need to be re-adjusted.
Periodically remove the Top Cover and clean out the canister.
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. 1)
To help keep the Bedlocker retractable tonneau cover looking its best, we recommend washing it the same as caring
for your truck fi nish. However due to the hammer texture, removal of wax can be diffi cult so you should not wax your
cover.

If power is lost to the Bedlocker unit or the electric drive system fails to operate and you have to use the cover right
away you can do the following to open or close the cover:
1. You will need to gain access to the release handle located
on the driver side of the canister at the front of the truck bed.
Once you have access to it, Pull the handle out away from the
canister and pull out the handle kickstand behind it.
2. Settle the kickstand into the notch on the handle to hold the
handle in place.
3. Now you should be able to push or pull the paneled blanket
manually open or closed.
NOTE: The blanket will not lock unless you disengage the
kickstand and lower the release handle. With the handle released
the cover will move a short distance and the cover will then lock
itself in place. (Cover may not lock tightly against tailgate)
This process will allow you to use the cover until power is restored. It is not meant for extended or permanent use.

RELEASE HANDLE ASSEMBLY MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the Release Handle Assembly requires lubrication of the coupler located inside the canister. This is
done during factory assembly but may need to be done from time to time during the life of your cover.
A small lubrication hole is provided on the coupler that a fi ne tipped grease gun can inject a small amount of grease
into. a high quality waterproof wheel bearing grease is recommended.
To get to the coupler you will need to remove the rail clamps and end caps at the end of the rails. Use the manual
release handle and manually pull the blanket out the end of the rails until you have access to the coupler inside
the canister. Grease the coupler, cycle and spin it to distribute lubricant then reverse the process to re-assemble
the cover being sure to manually push the cover back into place in the caniser. (DO NOT USE THE MOTOR TO
RUN THE BLANKET INTO THE CANISTER OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE RIB CAPS ON THE EDGES OF THE
BLANKET.)
