Extang FullTilt General Installation (Snapless style) - Manual (Page 4)

Operating Your FullTilt™ SL Tonno
When replacing your FullTilt™
tonno be sure to seat the upper and
lower hinge rails properly. With the frame at a 30° angle,
shift the frame side-to-side to confirm that the curved ridge
on the lower hinge rail is located between the tonno frame
corner caps.
Quick and Easy Removal
Step 1- Lift and hold cover while releasing the lower joint of the gas strut.
Step 2- Rotate the cover upward past 45° and lift out of the quick-hinge front rail system.
Step 3- Slide off the Lower Hinge Rail.
Quick and Easy Reattachment
Step 1- Lift cover as a unit and drop front edge into the quick-hinge front rail system groove. Be careful that locking
tongue (vertical web) is between both corner pieces and Rail End Plates. There is about 1/8ʼ total clearance
on the ends. Slowly and gently rotate downward. DO NOT FORCE! IT SHOULD FALL INTO PLACE!!
Note: Frame should slide side-to-side about 1/8” freely, If hinge is tight, something is wrong, you are most
likely not centered .
Step 2- Reattach the gas struts with body on bottom in open position. Drop cover and latch both sides securely.
Make sure that upper hinge
rail assembly slides easily over
ridge on lower hinge rail.
If you need to tow your vehicle
backward, be sure to release the
cover and stow against the hinge
rail using Velcro® straps provided.
When the upper hinge rail
assembly is properly centered
side to side —the rail will rotate
easily. Be sure that steel rail end
plates are in place to keep rails
from jamming.
When tonno is
removed, stow the gas
shock against the shock
hold down stud.
WARNING!
High winds may catch the tonno cover and cause it to open if not latched.
Be very careful raising tonno in windy conditions. Cover should always be latched when
down. Do not drive with cover raised or unlatched, even at slow speeds. When towing vehicle
backwards, cover must be removed or tarp fully rolled and secured with Velcro® straps.
When in the proper position, the frame should freely
translate about 1/8”.
If not, raise the frame and seat it again.
•
Do not overload your truck bed. Objects that press into the vinyl
will wear a hole quite quickly. If you need to carry larger objects,
remove the entire tonneau frame, or roll the tarp to the cab and
secure. However when the tarp is rolled up the tail rail must be
attached to the framework.
• If the load is too large to accommodate the tail rail, then the
tonneau frame and tarp must be completely removed. Reassemble
when load is removed. The tonneau can be easily stowed and
reassembled for the return trip. It will improve your fuel economy
all the way home!
• Do not attempt to carry the assembled tonneau loose in the truck bed, even
for a short distance, and even if tied down. The tonneau will try to
become airborne even at low speeds.
On a periodic basis, you should check the security of
all the fasteners on your tonneau system.
Trucks driven on bumpy roads or at high
speeds suffer vibration that can loosen all
elements of your tonneau system.
