TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:

7/16” wrench or socket
Side Cut Pliers

#2 Phillips screwdriver
Tape measure

1/2” wrench or socket

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 briefl y having an extra person’s assistance can make installation easier. If you have questions
regarding the installation please call our Technical Support Line at [phone].

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

Drain Tube Holes

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.
Thread the plug through the side of the canister and connect it to the grey/violet 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!
