Pace-Edwards JR Series Ford Ranger - Manual (Page 3)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the top cover from the canister box and set it aside for
later installation.
Perform a quick inventory to insure all parts are there. Be sure to
check inside the small cardboard box for parts.
You will need one or two support pieces (We suggest using the top
of the box the Jackrabbit was shipped in.) to set in the truck bed
approximately one foot from the cab that will go under the canister,
raising the top of the canister above the bed rails by 2-3 inches.
Remove the Canister from the box and set it on the support(s) in
the truck bed.
Top of Canister should clear
Truck Bed Rails by 2-3” Support
Piece
IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP STEADY THE CANISTER,
IT MAY BE EASIER TO INSTALL THE RAILS (DESCRIBED IN STEP 3)
BEFORE POSITIONING THE CANISTER IN THE TRUCK BED.

Guide
Open the rail box along the length of the box; lift rails out to avoid scratching the rail surface
on the package staples.
REMOVE PROTECTIVE PAPER ON UNDERSIDE OF RAILS. THIS IS FOR PACKAGING
PURPOSES ONLY.
Install the rails by sliding them through the attached blanket guides on the canister,
threading the blanket in the rails, and sliding the rails into the rail grips that are attached on
the inside of the canister.
Then slide the rails forward, towards the truck cab making sure that both of the rail grips
are engaged. (Figure 2a)
Secure the rail by installing the hardware (Bolt, Lock Washer, Flat Washer) through the Rail
Grip Attachment and predrilled hole in the rail.
Complete for both left and right rails.
