PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 13, OF THIS INSTRUCTION FOR A LIST OF PARTS AND QUANTITIES. 

WARNING!

When in the closed position, Tonneau Cover must be latched and tailgate must be closed! Failure to do so could result in unexpected opening of the 
Tonneau Cover from sudden wind gusts, which could cause damage to the vehicle and/or your Tonneau Cover!

MAINTENANCE:

• Only use cleaners, waxes, or products that are labeled safe for use on plastics. Avoid the use of any chemicals to clean your Tonneau Cover unless
   labelled safe for plastics. Avoid use of abrasive type cleansers as they may dull the finish.

• The gas struts are self lubricating and should only be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Premature seal failure will result if solvents or
   lubricants are used to clean struts. 

• The locking mechanisms & Latches  only require occasional lubrication with Graphite Powder. DO NOT use any other lubricants or oils. 
   Using alternative products will VOID Warranty.

• All installation hardware and fasteners must be checked every so often for tightness.

TONNEAU COVER - IMPORTANT:

• Do not stand/sit or rest heavy objects on Tonneau Cover.
• Humans or animals are not to be under the closed Tonneau Cover at any time.
• Securely latch Tonneau Cover before operating vehicle.
• Do not carry open volatile chemicals with Tonneau Cover installed.
• If contact with volatile chemicals occurs clean Tonneau Cover with mild detergent and water solution.
• Read instructions carefully before installation. It is strongly recommended that installation is conducted by an authorized dealer.
• This product must be installed exactly as specified in these instructions. Failure to do so may result in improper fit and/or retention.
• Recommend installation by 2 people.
• Approximate fitting time is 1 ½ hours.

 

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: (IF UNPAINTED)

• Prior to painting, clean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based products. 
  Wipe completely dry. 
• Best results will be achieved by wiping the areas to be painted with a tack rag just prior to painting.
• Select a top coat and clear paint that is suitable for ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene).
• Automotive paint systems, such as Acrylics or Two Packs, can be applied directly to the components. However, some paints may require a primer.
  If recommendations on paint specification are not followed, cracking of the part or degradation to the material may result. In all paint systems,
  aromatic hydrocarbons and alkalies are best avoided to reduce damage to the material properties.
• If using a paint system which requires baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70° C (155° F). 
• Allow a minimum of 8 hours after baking before installation on the vehicle.
