Fitting the Canister with Roll Curtain
• Remove the keys from the Canister Bracket and store safely.
• Insert the canister into the truck bed with the lips of the canister resting on both sides of the truck bed (Fig. 1).
• Firmly push the canister with Roll-on curtain up against the face of the front panel of the truck bed.
• Position the canister in the CENTER of the bed. Incorrect positioning of the canister may cause damage to the Roll Cover.
• Foam Weather Strip - a piece of foam weather strip is provided with each cover. This foam weather strip is to be used only in the event that a gap is found between the canister and the front panel of the truck bed. It is difficult to gauge if the foam weather strip is necessary until positioning the canister. The foam weather strip is used to make up the difference in height spacing in trucks with plastic bed caps, etc. and when necessary to fill gap for an extra seal (meets metal up front behind the truck cab). All models differ with age and configuration in the need for the foam weather strip. The foam weather strip should be adhered to the truck bed unless you have a spray on bed liner and then you will need
to adhere it to the underside of the canister lip since it will not stick to the spray on bed liner material.
Measure end slat (see Note below) adding 1/8″ to total which will give you the perfect gap between the side rails (1/16″ on each side).
• Before clamping, close the tailgate of the truck carefully making sure not to hit the rail end caps. It is suggested that clamping be done with tailgate closed to ensure proper side rail installation. Side rails should clear tailgate and not overlap more than 3/8 inch.
• Using one (1) side rail clamp and shim(s) (amount of shims varies from model to model), clamp the side rail clamp and the shim(s) at the left rear of the truck bed.
• Using one (1) side rail clamp and shim(s) (amount of shims varies from model to model), clamp the side rail clamp and the shim(s) at the right rear of the truck bed.
• Always use the correct amount of shims (this varies from truck model to truck model) – under-shimming can cause your rails to bow in.
• The clamps will hold the side rails in place so you can unroll the curtain to ensure that the curtain lines up with the side rails at the tailgate. If two people are installing the side rails, one should pull the rail tightly into the truck bed while the other installs the clamps (Fig. 4a). Two people recommended for first clamp at tailgate for both side rails. • With the tailgate closed, adjust the side rails to extend up to 3/8” (10mm) onto the tailgate. (Fig. 4b
