STEP 5: INSTALLING CLAMPS
HARDWARE USED:
4
Before shimming and installing the rail clamps make sure the canister is centered between
the truck bed rails.
Slide the front adjustable clamp shims (Figure 5A) down the rails 6-12” from the canister.
Place the plastic shim along the truck bed rail as shown in Figure 5A to shim up the
Adjustable Clamp Shim Bracket.
Loosen the bolt on the front clamp shim and slide the bracket up against the truck bed
rail and plastic shim. Then tighten the bolt so the clamp shim is held tight in place. (Figure
5A).
Slide the front clamp rail grips (Figure 5B) 1” from the adjustable clamp shim on both the
left and right side rails.
Slide the rear adjustable clamp shims (Figure 5A) down the rails 6-12” from the tailgate.
Place the plastic shim along the truck bed rail as shown in Figure 5A to shim up the
Adjustable Clamp Shim Bracket.
Loosen the bolt on the rear clamp shim and slide the bracket up against the truck bed rail
and plastic shim. Then tighten the bolt so the clamp shim is held tight in place. (Fig. 5A).
Slide rear clamp rail grips 1” from the adjustable clamp shim on both the left and right
rails.
At this time you must Install the tailgate end of the pull strap to the
underside of the drivers side rail using the #8-32 x 3/4 machine
screw located at the tailgate end on the underside of the rail.
(Figure 5C) You must take the screw out, put it through the tailgate
end of the pullstrap and then install it back in to the rail.
Assemble the pivot arms to the clamp rail grips and snug the bolts
on the clamps so that the rails rest fi rmly against the truck bed.
(Figure 5B) Close the tailgate and position the rails with a 1/16”
gap from the tailgate.
Make sure the between the rails measurement is 53-5/16” at both the canister and tailgate.
This distance should be the same (53-5/16 inches) at both the canister and tailgate ends of
the rails to allow your cover to operate properly.
Once everything is square tighten the rail clamps completely.
