OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

OPERATING THE CARGO BED COVER

INSTALLING THE CARGO BED COVER ON A VEHICLE BED

Instructions for the installation of the Cargo Bed Cover and Vehicle Mounting Plate (if required) on the

bed of a vehicle are covered in WP 0010 entitled Service Upon Receipt.

EXTENDING THE CARGO BED COVER TO AN OPERATIONAL POSITION

CAUTION

Any excess snow or ice should be cleared from the roof of the Cargo

Bed Cover before the CBC is raised or lowered. Excess snow or ice will

increase the weight of the upper section of the CBC and place excessive

strain on the lifting/lowering components.

The CBC cannot be raised or lowered while ice remains on the side

walls. All ice should be removed from the sidewall before the CBC is

raised or lowered.

For example, with the 2 1/2T Cargo Truck (7), lower the tailgate and remove the ladder (1) from its

storage area (2) on the inside surface of the tailgate. Install the ladder hooks (3) in position on the rear of

the vehicle.

To extend the upper section of the CBC, step up on the ladder (1) and rotate the outside door handle (4)

fully clockwise and then back to a horizontal position. Open the upper section (5) of the personnel door.

NOTE

The Cargo Bed Cover upper section should not be entered prior

to raising the upper section. Access to the winch handle should

be from the outside of the CBC only.

Crouch down and access the winch (6) through the upper personnel door opening.
