• Draw out and lock the curtain in place.
• Remove the protective tape from the side rails.
• Place the canister Lid over the canister at the front of the truck bed.
• Check to ensure the canister lid is positioned evenly on either side on the truck bed. The end slat bump rubber should face the tailgate of the vehicle

11 - 14. Fitting the Drain Hoses
• Unlock the curtain and allow it to roll into the canister.
• Mark an appropriate spot on the truck bed approximately 5” (127mm) directly below the rear drain plug.
• With the 1.25” (32mm) Hole Saw, drill a hole through the inside panel of the truck bed (and liner) beneath the drain plugs
Note: The position of the hole is optional and can be positioned wherever the customer prefers it to be as long as it drains out of the truck bed. The manufacturer recommends hole location to be in an area where the drain holes will not be damaged by normal use. Care must be taken not to damage the outside of the truck bed.Apply Rust Preventative wherever drilling occurred in the truck bed.
• Fit Drain Hose Grommets in the drilled holes
• Cut a suitable length of drain hose and push one end over the drain plug and the other end through the hole in the grommet (Fig. 14).

15 - Adjust and secure lock block
Once the correct locking position is located, secure the lock block in place by screwing a lock block screw through the predrilled hole behind the adjustment slot. This procedure takes place once the curtain has been aligned with the side rails and the cover is locking easily. This procedure allows for a final adjustment of the cover at the tailgate
Note: If the key is difficult to turn, the lock bush needs to be adjusted slightly.
