8. Once the hook is in place, let the mat and hook
rest on the floor as shown in Figure 6. Next,
confirm that the mat is not interfering with foot
pedals and verify it is making proper contact with
the surfaces surrounding the floor.

9. Mark the approximate position where the hook
will need to be attached to the floor with a finger.
Once the position is located, remove the driver
mat from the truck.

10. Unpack the tube of Primer 94 and read the
safety precautions printed on the tube.

11. Activate the tube of Primer 94 by crushing the
tube at the black dot.

12. Clean all dirt or debris off the truck floor and
apply Primer 94 to the truck floor area where the
hook will be attached.

13. Allow the Primer 94 to dry on the truck floor
for five minutes.

14. Install the driver mat in the truck with the
hook inserted. Next, peel away the paper backing
from the hook.

15. While holding onto the neck of the hook, lower
the driver mat into position and stick the hook
to the floor. Apply firm pressure to the hook as
shown in Figure 7 for 30 seconds to ensure a
proper bond to the rubber floor.

16. For optimal adhesion do not disturb the hook
for a period of 20 minutes after installation.

17. Install the center mat as shown in Figure 8
below.

18. Install the passenger mat and driver mat.

Note: the passenger side floor mat is designed to
accommodate both fixed seats and suspension
seats. For trucks equipped with a fixed passenger
seat, there will be a gap of approximately 1.5
inches between the base of the seat and the back
edge of the passenger floor mat.

19. Pull the driver mat toward the front of the
truck to confirm that the hook is fully engaged
into the mat and that the hook is adhered to the
floor. If the hook is not functioning properly or
the mat cannot be securely installed, do not use
a Minimizer floor mat on the driver side of the
vehicle.

20. FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE RETENTION
HOOK FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT MAY ALLOW
THE MAT TO SHIFT, WHICH MAY INTERFERE WITH
PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE’S PEDALS,
POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF
THE VEHICLE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
