CLAMP x 4
(NARROW
EDGE GOES DOWN!)
INNER RAIL CLAMP x 4
Slide the four (4) Inner Rail Clamps (2 on each side) through the Tie Down Bars of the
truck.
Place the Outer Angled Rail Clamps on the Inner Rail Clamps
(MAKE SURE THE
NARROWER EDGE IS DOWN ON THE OUTER ANGLED RAIL CLAMPS) loosely fasten
the clamps in place with the 1/4” Washer, 1/4” Lock Washer and Rail Clamp Nut on both
sides of the truck bed.
The fi rst clamp should be placed about 6 inches from the canister (closest to truck cab).
The second clamp assembly should be about 4 inches from the end of the Tie Down Bar
(closest to the tailgate).
Slide Rail Clamp Bracket A on each Rail followed by
Rail Clamp Bracket B.
Rail Clamp Bracket A should be closest to the Cab of
the truck.
At this time you will need to install the taligate end of
the pull strap to the underside of the drivers side rail
using the #8-32 x 3/4 machine screw that is already
installed at the tailgate end on the underside of the rail.
(Figure 6A)
Now, loosely assemble the Rail Clamp Brackets to the Outer Angled Rail Clamps with the
1/4” Washer, 1/4” Lock Washer and 1/4-20 x 1/2” Bolt on each side of the truck bed.
Center the Rails in the Truck bed.
Check that the spacing in the truck bed between the Left and Right Rails is 50-5/16”.
Once correct spacing is achieved tighten ONLY the Rail Clamp Brackets A & B in place.
With the Tailgate in the closed position correct spacing to the tailgate should be 1/16” to
prevent the tailgate from striking the side rails when closing.
Tighten the Set Screws on both Rail Clamp Bracket A to hold rails in position. (Adjust spacing
from the tailgate by moving rails forward or backward as needed prior to fi nal tightening of
set screws.)
Apply downward pressure while tightening the Outer Angled Rail Clamp to the Inner Rail
Clamp, especially on the tailgate end. This will ensure a tight seal, fi rm seat, and good fi t on
the truck bed.
