TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:
7/16” wrench or socket
Side Cut Pliers
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Tape measure
3/8” 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. Due to the custom fi t of this truck bed cover the installation will
require a second person to help in placing the canister in the truck bed. If you have questions regarding the
installation please call our Technical Support Line at (800) 338-3697.
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!
(Do not let the blanket roll back on itself or the underside on the fi rst three ribs can damage the visual
surface of the other rolled ribs).
Remove all of the vinyl sheeting protecting the blanket.
Pull the blanket out about 1 foot from the canister and let it hang.

STEP 2: INSTALL WIRING HARNESS
HARDWARE USED:
(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.
WIRE HARNESS x 1
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.)
ZIP TIES x 5
Secure the harness with wire ties provided after slack from the canister has been taken out.
STEP 3: INSTALLING RAILS
HARDWARE USED:
RISER BARS x 2 (LEFT &
RIGHT)
Remove the cap on the end of the OE tie down bars (these will
be replaced later).
Place the riser bar padded side down on top of the OE tie down
bars even with the cab side of the truck bed. (there will be
some overhang over the tie down bars) see Figure 2a.
Open the rail box along the length of
the box; lift rails out to avoid scratching
the rail surface on the package
staples.
REMOVE PROTECTIVE PAPER ON
UNDERSIDE OF RAILS AND RISER
BARS. THIS IS FOR PACKAGING
PURPOSES ONLY.

The machined end of the rail attaches to the canister.
You will need to lift the hanging portion of the ribbed blanket
and thread it in the rail while sliding the rail into the rail grip
mounted to the ends of the canister (the underside of the
blanket ribs need to nest on the gear).
Make sure both fl anges of rail slide into the rail grip.
Rail Grips
Push the rails forward against the canister.
Complete for both left and right rails.

STEP 4: PLACE CANISTER AND RAILS INSIDE THE TRUCK BED
HARDWARE USED:
FOAM
You will need a second person to help lift the canister with the rails attached into the truck
bed. Place one hand under the canister and one hand under the rails and place the whole unit
inside the truck bed. The canister and rails will rest on top of the riser bars.
Slide the entire canister and rail assembly forward against the cab end of the truck bed.
Close the tailgate and pull the rails only toward it leaving approximately 1/8” gap between the
end of the rails and the tailgate.
Be sure to hold the canister in place to ensure it does not move from the front truck bed sill
with the rails while adjusting the gap of the rails to the tailgate.
Attach the strip of foam to the front sill of the truck bed from the left tonneau rail to the right
tonneau rail.
