Pre-Installation:
Clean the truck bed thoroughly before installation. Ensure all parts are included in the package.

Securing Safety Clamps:
Turn the knob counterclockwise to loosen the clamp with the yellow strap. Attach the clamp to the metal bed rail lip on both sides and tighten. Ensure safety clamps are in direct contact with the metal part of the bed rail lips.

Securing Front Clamps:
Refer to supplemental instructions for utility track bracket installation for Toyota and Nissan models. Follow steps to secure front clamps ensuring solid contact with the metal bed rail lip for security.

Securing Rear Clamps and Cover:
After securing rear clamps, close/lock the tailgate. The cover cannot be opened from the outside. Note that cover may not completely cover to the outside edge of the bed rails due to truck bed shape differences.

Folding Up the Cover:
Open tailgate, fold up the cover once, secure rear latches into grooves on both sides to avoid damage to the vinyl. Ensure safety buckles are properly secured when cover is folded at the cab.

Adjusting Clamp Position:
If necessary, horizontal clamp position can be adjusted by releasing the top Phillips Screw and relocating the clamp to one of the three available positions for optimal fitment.

Safety Notes:
Check and secure all clamps before driving.

Do not drive with cover folded open and safety straps un-buckled.
Avoid overloading cargo or placing sharp objects in contact with the cover.
Safety clamps provide additional security but do not replace front clamps.
Maximum weight capacity of the cover is 30lbs; weight must be evenly distributed.
If equipped with Over-the-Bedrail bed liner or bed side rail cap with a plastic lip lower than the factory metal bed lip, small holes may need to be cut on the plastic liners for clamp fastening.
