Installation Instructions
—continued inside
1. Determine the location of the tarp roller. The
tarp roller should be mounted above the cab on the
dump body’s cab guard. To prevent damage from
loads being dumped into the body, the tarp roller
should be mounted outside of the dump body’s
load area. Also, verify the location is accessible for
winding the tarp up.
2. Clamp the bearing bracket assemblies (item
4&5) to the dump body in the locations determined
in step 1. The bearing bracket assembly with the
detent lever (item 5) is to be mounted on the driv-
er’s side of the dump body. Make sure the brackets
are aligned vertically as well as from front to back
by measuring from a common point on each side
of the body. Verify the bearing bracket assemblies
are mounted high enough to accommodate the tarp
when rolled onto the roll bar assembly.
3. Mark the bearing bracket mounting hole’s loca-
tions onto each side of the dump body. Remove the
brackets and drill 13/32" holes in the four marked
locations.
4. Assemble the bearing brackets to the dump
body using the four 3/8-16 x 1 cap screws, lock
washers and nuts supplied. Do not tighten fasten-
ers at this time, just hand tighten to hold brackets
in position.
5. Locate the inner hex tube (item 1) and make
a pencil mark in the center of the tube’s length.
Insert the inner hex tube half way into the driver’s
side roll tube assembly (item 2). Insert the pas-
senger’s side roll tube assembly (item 3) onto the
opposite end of the inner hex tube. Measure the
distance between the inside of the mounted bear-
ing brackets (for measurements less than 81.75”:
The driver’s and passenger’s side roll tube assem-
blies (items 2 & 3) will need to be shortened by an
equal amount to obtain the proper width). Separate
the roll tubes, so the length of the complete roll
tube assembly from adaptor to adaptor is ¼" less
than the distance between mount brackets. Locate
the pencil mark, and verify that the inner hex
tube is centered inside the outer roll tube assem-
