Part #: BL-INSTALL 0611
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:
7/16” wrench or socket |
#2 Phillips screwdriver |
3/8” wrench or socket |
Tape measure |
Note: There should be no drilling into the truck body needed on most standard or full-size trucks .
BEFORE YOU START:
Read the instructions carefully before you start. These instructions are written for one-person installation. We have noted where briefly having an extra person’s assistance can make installation easier. If you have questions regarding the installation please call our Technical Support Line at (800) 338-3697.
DRAIN HOLE LOCATIONS:
The Bedlocker is designed to carry rainwater from the cover into the canister and then out through the drains. Most truck models have standard OE drain holes or plastic/rubber access ports in the front of the truck bed. Check to make sure your truck has the OE drain holes so that drilling into the sheet metal is not required. If drilling is necessary, be sure to check the underside of the truck bed for the best location. The holes should be located near the side and as far forward as possible. Use a drill bit suitable for sheet metal (such as a taper drill or step drill). Drill drain tube clearance holes at 3/4” (19mm). This will need to be done before installing the cover.

OPTIONAL WIRING HARNESS FOR DASHBOARD SWITCH:
The BedLocker also offers an optional wire harness (part # BL1120) to manually operate the tonneau cover from inside the cab of your truck.
This harness is designed to plug into the custom-built electronics control box mounted inside the canister.
Plug switch harness into the capped plug( grey/violet) located along side the power plug. Make sure to secure the loose wires inside the canister away from the gear and blanket.
Then run the wire to the cab and attach under the dash in a suitable location.
STEP 1: REMOVE CONTENTS & PLYWOOD PACKAGING
Remove the canister and top cover from the box.
Remove components from inside the canister. Perform a quick inventory to insure all parts are there.
Using the 3/8” wrench or socket remove the 2 bolts holding the plywood packaging supports on the ends of the canister. Discard plywood packaging supports and bolts.
DISCARD PLYWOOD PACKAGING AND BOLTS!

STEP 2: INSTALL WIRING HARNESS
HARDWARE USED:
WIRE HARNESS x 1
ZIP TIES x 5
(If the optional wire harness Part# BL1120 is used, you may want to tape it to the main harness to ease having to pull them through the stake pocket separately).
From inside the truck bed push the long wire harness end without the plug through the stake pocket on the drivers side of the truck and out the underside of the truck bed box.
Leave approximately one foot of slack inside the box for mounting the electronics. Route the wire harness under the truck and to the battery in the engine compartment. Attach the fuse holder to the end of the Red/positive wire.
(Do not attach to the battery yet.)
Secure the harness with wire ties provided after slack from the canister has been taken out.
STEP 3: PLACE CANISTER IN TRUCK BED
You will need one or two support pieces (We suggest using the top of the box the Bedlocker was shipped in) to set in the truck bed.
Set the support piece approximately one foot from the cab.
Set the Canister on the support(s) in the truck bed. The canister should be resting on the support piece, centered in the truck bed, raising the top of the canister above the bed rails by 2-3 inches.
(Do not let the blanket roll back on itself or the underside on the surface of the other rolled ribs).
Pull the blanket out about 1 foot from the canister and let it hang.
first three ribs can damage the visual
