Before installing canister drain tubes, make sure the Drain Plugs provided in your kit,
• First, make sure that the Foam Washer is in place on the Drain
Fitting as this washer will help prevent water leakage. Next, test fit
the drain tube to determine the length you want to trim it. Always
caution on the long side. Trim the end that will be inserted through
the truck bed using the wire cutters or a utility knife.
• With the cover opened, insert the drain tube fittings into the
pre-drilled holes on the underside of the canister by pushing
them in place from under the canister. Drain Fitting should click
into place.
• Place the other end of the drain tube through the Drain Plugs on
the front wall of the truck bed. Ensure that the drain tubes are
inserted and directed down so water flows out of the truck.
• To remove the drain tubes, reach under the canister, grab the drain
tube fitting and turn it while applying light downward pressure.
When the retaining tabs align with notches in the bottom of the
canister the Drain Tube and Fitting will drop out.

STEP 11: INSTALLING TAILGATE DRAIN TUBES
• To install the tailgate drain tubes you need to find
suitable holes in the rear stiffener of your truck bed.
Figure 11C shows hole locations.
• Next you will screw the drain tube into the drain fitting
and slide it on the tailgate cap as shown in Figure 11B.
There is an interference bump on the cap that will lock
the drain fitting in place. Next you will need to thread
the drain tube into the desired hole and trim the length
of the tube if needed. If there are no holes on the
tailgate side of your truck you will need to drill holes,
make sure to check for wires you could damage first
(5/8" or 16mm).
WARNING:
Drain tube installation
is paramount to
getting the best
possible water
resistance out
of your cover!
