INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR SUPER DUTY ONLY – If there is No plastic bedliner proceed with step 1C. Like step (1A) using a tape measure follow the measurements in that step and mark on bedliner where to cut. Then use a jig saw to cut the liner parts out. In step (1A) the measurement is 3-3/4” (1) instead of 3”. Drill (5) 1/2” holes where indicated. Repeat on driver side. Then mark on tailgate protector (2) where to cut and take it off tailgate to cut it. Discard cut parts. Replace tailgate protector.

Drill 1/2” hole through plug at bulkhead as shown (1) on driver and passenger side using a 1/2” drill bit (2). DO NOT drill through the truck cab (3). Note: Rust protection should be used on the holes you drilled.

Center the housing (A) between the bed rails, and up against the bulkhead on driver and passenger side.

Remove lid from housing (A) by pushing toward cab (1) and up (2) on driver and passenger side.

Assemble the track angle (E) to the thread tang (F) using a 1/4-20 x1 1/4” bolt (G), flat washer (H). Insert track angle (E) in hole (1) and loosely attach on driver and passenger side.

(1) Turn lock to 10 o’clock. (Do not remove plastic wing nut). (2) Align tracks (B) onto housing stem. (3) Make sure the edge of the tracks butt up against housing on driver and passenger side.

FOR SUPER DUTY ONLY – Notch lip 3/4” on tailgate flush on each end.

Close tailgate, shift the housing (A) back so the end of the tracks (B) are up against the tailgate on driver and passenger side.

Important to check track to track inside dimension, otherwise the cover will not latch properly on driver and passenger side.

Once tracks (B) are correctly spaced and adjusted to the correct height, tighten back clamp (E) with fastener (K) using 1/4” Allen wrench (1) and fastener (G) using a 7/16” wrench (2). You can use shim(s) (M) to align the track to 90o position on driver and passenger side.

COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Vinyl Tops
Clean with mild automotive soap and water only. Do NOT use any strong chemicals or cleaners. Do NOT use conditioners that contain silicone or petroleum (e.g. Armor All®). We recommend using 303 Aerospace Protectant® to prolong the life of the vinyl.
Hard Tops
Clean with mild automotive soap and water only. Do NOT use any strong chemicals or cleaners. Use of wax or polish is not recommended.
Maintenance
It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front mounting bolts to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose or knocked out of adjustment during operation. Covers that are used with high frequency or that are subject to the vibrations and impact from rough roadways can cause the cover to require adjustment.
IMPORTANT: NEVER spray any lubricant into the tracks. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Lubricants, especially silicone or petroleum-based, will attract dirt and debris which will lead to slow operation and will degrade the gaskets over time. If the tracks feel a little ‘sticky’, you may spray some 303 Aerospace Protectant® inside the track and wipe with a clean rag to remove any dirt or debris that has built up.
Housing Drains
To ensure proper drainage, it is recommended that the canister housing be checked and cleared of any leaves, twigs or other
debris that may obstruct the drain tubes.
To remove the lid, first, make sure the Roll-N-Lock cover is fully closed and securely latched at the tailgate. Remove the Phillips head screw on each side of the lid and slide the lid slightly forward toward the cab to disengage the set pins. Once free, the lid can be lifted and removed from the canister. DO NOT ALLOW THE COVER TO RETRACT WITH THE LID REMOVED. This could allow the cover to retract too far into the canister causing damage to the cover.

USE

Opening and Using the Cover
Grasp the handle with one hand and pull towards the tailgate to relieve pressure on the latches. At the same time, turn the teardrop lock from the 7 o’clock latched position to the 10 o’clock unlatched position. Release the handle and the cover should begin to retract. The cover may require a slight push to get it started retracting. The tether strap can be used to control the speed of the cover as it retracts. Allow the cover to retract fully into the lid and this will reset the tear-drop lock to the 7 o’clock position.
Closing and Locking the Cover
Using the tether strap, gently pull the cover toward the tailgate. Once the cover handle is within reach, grasp with both hands, and pull the cover closed until it latches into place making sure that the tear-drop lock is pointed at the 7 o’clock position. Secure the tether strap inside the truck bed when latching. Forcing or slamming the cover back may damage the truck or cover.
Never close the cover with the tear-drop lock pointed at 10 o’clock as the latches will not engage properly. Always close the cover body with the tear- drop lock pointed at 7 o’clock. Failure to close the cover body correctly will result in the unit not latching.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT place objects on or against the cover or framework.
DO NOT tie cargo to truck bed cover framework.
DO NOT operate the vehicle with objects on top of the cover body.
NEVER allow children or pets to occupy the truck bed while the cover is closed.
The cover is not airtight. Special care is required to keep cargo clean and dry.
Tonneau covers won’t prevent theft of contents inside the truck box.
