IMPORTANT OWNER-OPERATOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
C4203/FMT01CHHD
APPLICATION FITS
ADJUSTABLE FRONT TIE DOWNS
Minor movement (or settling) can occur in some incidental harsh driving conditions
(on or off road).
A rubber bed mat is not a requirement to maintain the lifetime warranty on a Torklift sys-
tem, but a strong recommendation, simply as a safety precaution to protect the truck bed,
the bottom of the camper and to give the camper additional support.
Warning!!
TORKLIFT DOES NOT RECOMMEND: Installing your truck camper in your truck on top of
a drop in plastic bed liner!!! THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
The drop in plastic bed liners can slide on top of the truck bed surface, and the camper can
slide on top of the slick surface of the bed liner. The liner can also act as a spring causing a
trampoline effect increasing vertical truck camper movement, independent of the vehicle,
possibly resulting in truck bed damage and/or camper damage!
