Operating Instructions
The TruXport cover is designed for simple and efficient operation:
- To Open: Locate the dual paddle latches at each side of the tailgate. Simply unlock each latch and roll the cover up towards the cab. A convenient cab buckle is provided to keep the cover rolled up tight and secure while your vehicle is in motion, allowing full bed access.
- To Close: Unroll the cover from the cab towards the tailgate. Ensure the cover is properly aligned with the side rails. Slam the cover down at the tailgate to engage the dual paddle latches, securing it in place. The industrial hook and loop system along the sides will seal the cover down.
- Removal: The TruXport can be completely removed from the truck bed without tools in seconds, offering maximum flexibility for hauling oversized cargo.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Clean the vinyl cover regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Tension Adjustment: Periodically check the cover's tension. If the cover appears loose or sags, manually adjust the tension control system to keep it tight and smooth. This helps maintain its low-profile appearance and weather-sealing capabilities.
- Seal Inspection: Inspect the front and tailgate seals, as well as the industrial hook and loop system, for any signs of wear or damage. Proper seals are crucial for keeping elements out of your truck bed.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover, consider the following:
- Water Leakage:
- Check the tension of the cover. A loose cover may not seal properly.
- Inspect the front, tailgate, and side seals for proper placement and any damage. Ensure they are making full contact with the truck bed.
- Verify that the industrial hook and loop system is fully engaged along both side rails.
- Difficulty Latching/Unlatching:
- Ensure the cover is properly aligned with the side rails. Misalignment can prevent latches from engaging or disengaging smoothly.
- Check for any obstructions around the dual paddle latches.
- Cover Flapping at Highway Speeds:
- This is typically due to insufficient tension. Adjust the pre-set tension control system to tighten the cover.
