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 (800) 338-3697.
DRAIN HOLE LOCATIONS:
The JackRabbit 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.
