Helpful Maintenance Hints
- To assure quiet and smooth operation of your roller, please regularly clean and lubricate the rail tracks and canister. It is recommended every 3 months or 6,000 km, or when you use it in muddy water, desert, Gobi desert, etc. Please focus on cleaning the side rails and the spiral track inside the container which may have sand, sludge, gravel and other sundry inside. Please use the lubricants we offered or other brand silicone oil-type lubricants after cleaning, and increase the frequency of using lubricants based on actual situation. Avoid using petroleum- based product on rubber seals. Lighter oil spray lubes with PTFE (Teflon) seem to work the best when regularly wiped out and reapplied.
- Avoid the thicker grease type because they tend to get sticky and gather a lot of dust and debris and then later dry out. Also Avoid the silicone dry lubes as they tend to cause squealing noise between the sliding components.
- Please make sure the roller is in a stop status before cleaning/lubricating, to avoid causing extrusion or collision injury.
- To clean the rail tracks and the spiral track inside the container, please apply the lubricant to a rag and wipe it inside of the rail tracks, along the underside of the sweep seal and the top of the wear strip. Repeat until the dust has been removed. You can also use a high-pressurewater gun if necessary and then make sure all components have been lubricated. Please DO NOT direct aiming the high-pressure water gun to the motor/ECU/connector when cleaning, and do some necessary waterproof protection for connectors/plugs.
- To clean the canister, remove the rail stops, or vertical rails as required, and run the cover out far enough that you can get into the canister. Apply the lubricant to a rag and wipe the inside of the canister, including all components inside the canister. Ensure the Drain Tubes are clear of any debris or blockage. Reassembly the cover.
- If you find that the brightness of the remote control signal indicator light is obviously weakened, or the button indicator light does not on, please replace the battery in time (batterymodel: CR2450).
- To keep the roller in tip-top condition, we recommendwashing it the same as caring for your truck finish. A lack of proper cleaning and maintenance can affect the operation of the product and reduce its life.
- Do not attempt to drivewith the tail panel in the partially open position.
- Tonneau cover must be free of foreignmaterial including snow and ice before opening panels.
- Do not tow your vehicle from the rear with the tonneau on your truck.
- Do not operate vehicle with objects on top of cover.
Failure to follow these cautions may result in severe damage and will void your warranty.
