LOWERING THE CBC ONTO THE VEHICLE BED

Once the mounting plate assembly (1) has been completely installed on the bottom of the Cargo Bed

Cover (2), the CBC can be carefully lowered onto the vehicle bed (3).

NOTE

It is important to ensure that the CBC and mounting plate combination is

level when lowered into position on the vehicle bed or the tie down post

assemblies may bind as they are lowered into the vehicle bed pockets.

Since the weight of the CBC is not distributed evenly, the CBC may tilt

toward the rear when lifted with the hoisting sling. To compensate for this

condition and to ensure that the CBC is level, additional weight such as

two 50 pound sandbags or other weight should be placed toward the

front edge of the roof.

To secure the CBC and mounting plate combination to the vehicle bed of the LMTV, lift the CBC

(currently supported by blocks), using the hoisting sling (4) and slowly lower it into position on the bed (3)

of the LMTV. Be sure that the CBC is level as it is suspended in the air.

Align the four tiedown post assemblies (5) into the four corresponding pockets (6) in the vehicle bed (3).

Once all four tiedown posts (5) are engaged in the pockets (6) in the vehicle bed (3), lower the CBC all

the way to the surface of the vehicle bed.

Do not secure the tiedown post assemblies at this time.
