The AMP Research BedXTender Quick Mount Brackets are designed for straightforward installation. It is crucial to read and precisely follow the vehicle-specific installation instructions provided with your product. All necessary hardware is included.

Required Tools (Commonly Needed):

• Scissors, knife, or razor for cutting the diagram/template.
• Tape for holding the template in place.
• Punch tool or screwdriver for creating pilot holes.
• Hammer (if using a screwdriver for pilot holes).
• Power drill for driving screws.

Installation Steps (General Guidance):

1. Prepare the Mounting Area: Ensure the truck bed area where the brackets will be mounted is clean and free of debris.
2. Position the Template: Use the provided diagram or template to mark the precise location for drilling. Secure the template with tape.
3. Create Pilot Holes: Carefully create pilot holes at the marked locations using a punch tool or screwdriver and hammer, followed by a power drill.
4. Mount the Brackets: Align the quick mount brackets with the pilot holes and secure them using the included screws and a power drill. Ensure they are firmly attached.
5. Test Fit: Once both brackets are installed, test fit your BedXTender to ensure proper alignment and secure attachment.

Note: Some users have reported that the mounting template may need to be downloaded online if not included in the physical shipment. Ensure you have a mirror image pair of brackets for proper installation on both sides of the truck bed.

5. Operation

These quick mount brackets are designed to facilitate the easy attachment and detachment of your AMP Research BedXTender. Once installed, the BedXTender can be quickly rotated into position for use or removed when not needed, providing flexibility for your cargo needs.

When the BedXTender is in place and your tailgate is closed and locked, the brackets help secure the extender, making it difficult to remove without opening the tailgate. This feature adds a layer of security for your BedXTender.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AMP Research BedXTender Quick Mount Brackets, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the brackets with mild soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and road salt. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the brackets for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Check that all screws remain tight.
• Powder Coat Care: The durable black powder coat finish is designed to resist corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch or damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

While these brackets are generally straightforward, here are some common issues and potential solutions:

• Issue: Received two identical brackets instead of a mirror image pair.
  Solution: Contact customer support for a replacement. Ensure you receive one left and one right bracket for proper installation.
• Issue: Missing screws or mounting template.
  Solution: Check the packaging thoroughly. If still missing, contact customer support. The mounting template may also be available for download on the manufacturer's website. If screws are missing, suitable replacements can often be found at a local hardware store.
