OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS

HOISTING THE CARGO BED COVER USING THE LIFT RINGS

WARNING

Do not lift the Cargo Bed Cover (CBC), in its retracted (lowered) position.

The CBC must be in its extended (fully raised) position prior to using the

lift rings for lifting.

WARNING

Do not use the lift rings to lift a CBC with an installed payload greater

than 1100 pounds. Lift rings should only be used to lift an empty CBC

that is not mounted to a vehicle.

A Cargo Bed Cover, that has been installed on a vehicle should 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.

CAUTION

Do not attach a hoisting sling to the CBC lift rings in such a way as to

create an angle between the cable and the CBC roof surface that is

LESS THAN 45 . Attaching the cable at any angle less than 45 will

result in excessive strain on the lift rings which may result in damage to

the Cargo Bed Cover.

Lift rings (1) are provided on the fore and aft top edges of the Cargo Bed Cover to allow it to be lifted onto

and off of a vehicle bed. The lift rings must be used only to lift a CBC that is mechanically detached from

the vehicle.

To lift the CBC using the lift rings, the CBC must first be in its fully extended and locked position. Attach

the hoisting sling (2) to a crane or similar piece of equipment.
