OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

HOISTING A VEHICLE WITH AN INSTALLED CARGO BED COVER

WARNING

Do not use the lift rings to lift a CBC that is installed on a vehicle. Lift

rings should be used to lift an empty, non-vehicle-mounted CBC only.

A Cargo Bed Cover that has been installed on a vehicle should be in a

retracted condition and only be hoisted using the lifting points on the

vehicle.

Make sure to use handling equipment rated for the equipment it will be

lifting. Do not use handling equipment rated for less than the gross

weight of the CBC when handled by itself or the CBC plus the vehicle

when the CBC has been installed on a vehicle.

Failure to follow these lift warnings may result in severe injury or death to

personnel or damage to equipment.

To hoist a Cargo Bed Cover while it is installed on a vehicle, the CBC must be retracted. Helicopter rub

strips are provided along the length of the roof line to protect the CBC from cables that may rub against

the unit while the vehicle is being lifted.

Attach a hoisting sling rated to lift the combined gross weight of the vehicle, Cargo Bed Cover, and

payload. Attach the end of the cables at the vehicle lifting points in accordance with the vehicle's technical

manual.

Attach the other end of the hoisting sling to a crane or equivalent equipment rated to lift the combined

gross weight of the vehicle, Cargo Bed Cover, and payload.

Hoist the vehicle with installed Cargo Bed Cover and move into position in desired location.
