    PART B - FORD RANGER 3 PIECE HARD TONNEAU COVERINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

    Care Instructions

    Clean Tonneau Cover with a milddetergent and water solution.

    Do not use abrasivecleaners or solvents.

    WARNING!When in the closed position, Tonneau Cover must be latched and tailgate must be closed! Failure to do so could result in unexpectedopening of the Tonneau Cover from sudden wind gusts, driving conditions, which could cause damage to the vehicle and/or yourTonneau Cover!DO NOT close the Tailgate when the Hard Tonneau is in the closed position, as damage may occur to the vehicle and/or yourTonneau Cover!

    MAINTENANCE:Only use cleaners, waxes, or products that are labelled safe for use on plastics. Avoid the use of any chemicals to clean your TonneauCover unless labelled safe for plastics. Avoid use of abrasive type cleansers as they may dull the finish.The gas struts are self lubricating and should only be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Premature seal failure will result ifsolvents or lubricants are used to clean struts.Gas struts must be connected with the cylinder (wide) end to the Tonneau Cover or Warranty is Void. The locking mechanisms and latches only require occasional lubrication with Graphite Powder.DO NOT use any other lubricants or oils. Using alternative products will VOID Warranty.All installation hardware and fasteners must be checked every so often for tightness.

    TONNEAU COVER - IMPORTANT:• Read instructions carefully before installation. It is strongly recommended that installation is conducted by an authorized dealer.• This product must be installed exactly as specified in these instructions. Failure to do so may result in improper fit and/or retention.• Do not stand/sit or rest heavy objects on Tonneau Cover.• Humans or animals are not to be under the closed Tonneau Cover at any time.• Securely latch Tonneau Cover before operating vehicle.• Do not carry open volatile chemicals with Tonneau Cover installed.• If contact with volatile chemicals occurs clean Tonneau Cover with mild detergent and water solution.• Recommend installation by 2 people.• Fitting Instructions must be given to the end customer to understand correct removal and replacement process onto the vehicle.

    PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: (IF UNPAINTED)• Prior to painting, clean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based products. Wipe completely dry. • Best results will be achieved by wiping the areas to be painted with a tack rag just prior to painting.• Select a top coat and clear paint that is suitable for PC/ABS (Poly-Carbonate-Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene).• Automotive paint systems, such as Acrylics or Two Packs, can be applied directly to the components. However, some paints may require a primer. If recommendations on paint specification are not followed, cracking of the part or degradation to the material may result. In all paint systems, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkalies are best avoided to reduce damage to the material properties.• If using a paint system which requires baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70° C (155° F). • Allow a minimum of 8 hours after baking before installation on the vehicle.
