Safety Instructions; Troubleshooting Tips - TruXedo Lo Pro Owner's Manual

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• DO NOT place objects on or against the cover or framework.
• DO NOT tie cargo to truck bed cover framework.
• DO NOT attempt to drive with the cover in the partially open position.
• DO NOT operate the vehicle with objects on top of the cover.
• NEVER allow children or pets to occupy the pickup box while the cover is closed.
• Cover is not airtight. Special care is required to keep cargo clean and dry.
• Tonneau covers won't prevent theft of contents inside the truck box.
• The cover assembly (tarp) must be rolled fully open and secured with retainer straps when towing the vehicle backwards.
• If the cover is going to be rolled open for an extended amount of time, periodically re-roll the cover and secure the retainer
straps to ensure the cover doesn't rest against the cab of the truck.
• A fully rolled cover in the open position must always be secured with retainer straps.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

• WRINKLES ON THE VINYL FABRIC AFTER ROLLING COVER CLOSED
o Pull the vinyl fabric taut from each side. For best results, the help of a second person pulling on the opposite side is
preferable.
• SAGGING VINYL FABRIC BETWEEN THE CROSS BOWS
o Adjustment to Automatic Tension Control may be required.
• WIND LIFTS UP THE EDGE OF THE VINYL FABRIC
o Make sure to engage the hook and loop on the driver and passenger side rails after closing the cover. This may need to be
done periodically when taking long trips.
• VINYL FABRIC FLUTTERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING
o Check cover tension, refer to Automatic Tension Control section.
o Make sure hook and loop fasteners are set. See Step 11.
• SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE VINYL FABRIC
o Use broom or brush to remove loose snow and ice. DO NOT use sharp or pointed tools to remove snow and ice.
o Direct sunlight will help melt snow and ice off the vinyl fabric.
• TONNEAU COVER WILL NOT LATCH
o Check side rails to make sure they are level. See Step 5.
o Make sure the header seal is not caught between side rails & header.
o Check the position of side rails on the pickup box. They may be positioned too low. See Step 5.
o Make sure the cover has proper tension. See Automatic Tension Control section.
• VINYL FABRIC IS TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE
o See Automatic Tension Control to adjust the tension.
• VINYL FABRIC HAS SHIFTED TOO FAR TO ONE SIDE
o Unlatch the cover at the tailgate, release the hook and loop along both sides, go to the shorter side of the tarp and tug. The
vinyl fabric will slide in the aluminum headers. Pull on the shorter side until the tarp appears centered on the whole system.
Latch the cover and secure the hook and loop down both sides. Repeat if more adjustment is needed.
COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to use the tested and approved TruXedo Pro-Tex or clean with soap and water only.
Do not use vinyl conditioners (e.g. Armor All®) because they will shrink the vinyl.
• It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front
header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
• It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closure. Clean away any excess dirt or grime.
• Covers that are used frequently or are subject to vibrations and impacts from rough roadways may require adjustment.
FAQ
• WHY IS THERE A HOLE PUNCHED AT THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE RAIL OF THE TRUXEDO LO PRO, DEUCE AND PRO X15 BUT
NO LATCH?
All side rails are punched identically to keep them uniform, to ensure manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs. By doing
this, TruXedo can build and ship more covers while maintaining competitively priced products of the highest quality.
• WHY IS MY COVER HOLDING WATER AFTER IT RAINS?
Water pooling on the cover is normal because our cross bows are not arched. Since they are designed to sit flat some water may
accumulate on the top of the cover. Once you drive your truck, the water will shed from the cover. Make sure to retighten the hook
and loop fasteners along the length of the bed.
