INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATE TO THE CARGO BED COVER

The mounting plate assembly mounts to the carrier mounting angles located at the bottom of the lower

section of the CBC. The individual sections are secured to the carrier mounting angles using carriage

bolts, pan head screws, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts supplied with the mounting plate installation

kit.

Installing the front mounting plate section. Before installing the front and rear mounting plate sections,

be sure that the supporting blocks are located under the side walls of the CBC and are approximately 24

inches from the corners. This will provide adequate room to install the front and rear sections.

To install the front mounting plate section (1) to the CBC (2), position the section under the front carrier

mounting angle (3) of the CBC so that the face of the mounting plate section with the applied weather

stripping faces DOWN and toward the vehicle bed.

Press the mounting plate (1) up into position and align the holes (4) on the mounting plate with the holes

(5) on the carrier mounting angles (3).

Have a second person hold the mounting plate section (1) securely in position and install a total of eight

5/16-18 UNC x 1 inch long carriage bolts (6) up through the mounting plate (1) and through the CBC

carrier mounting angle (3). Install one 5/16 inch flat washer (7) over the end of the bolt and against the

surface of the carrier mounting angle, followed by a 5/16 inch lockwasher (8) and 5/16 UNC hex nut (9).

Repeat for all remaining screws.
