  • Page 11 2. MOUNTING BOWS AND RIDGE STRAP (Continued) D. BOWS Start with first bow at front of box. Insert bow extension into bow. Place each end of bow into bow pocket. Center bow in an upright position. Adjust bow to set 1” higher than end cap. Drill 5/16” hole through end of bow and in extension.
  • Page 12 2. MOUNTING BOWS AND RIDGE STRAP (Continued) E. RIDGE STRAP Attach hook end of strap to hole in center of front end cap. If installing two ridge straps, attach straps to the off center holes. Run strap over bows. Attach ratchet end of strap to rear end cap. Draw strap tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
  • Page 13 3. QUICK RELEASE TARP STOP BRACKETS NOTE: For stainless steel kits see page 4 for bolting procedures A. FRONT AND REAR QUICK RELEASE TARP STOP These brackets secure the stationary side of the tarp to the box. For normal roll applications, mount brackets on PASSENGER side of box. For reverse roll applications, mount brackets on DRIVER side of box.
  • Page 14 3. QUICK RELEASE TARP STOP BRACKETS (Continued) B. REMAINING QUICK RELEASE TARP STOP Position interior brackets evenly between front and rear tarp stops (See “Example” below) on outside of box so top of bracket is 1/4” down from top of box. Drill (2) 5/16” holes and use (2) 3/8” x 1” self threading bolts to mount interior brackets.
  • Page 15 4. ATTACHING TUBES TO TARP NOTE: Step 4 is a 2 person operation INSTALLATION TIP: The tarp is designed to be stretched to minimize wrinkling. For easier assembly apply a dusting of talcum powder on tube and inside of tarp pocket prior to sliding tube in. Using a liner tool helps find hole in tube and pulls tarp hole in alignment so rivet can be pushed completely in.
  • Page 16 4. ATTACHING TUBES TO TARP (Continued) B. STATIONARY TUBE Slide 1” stationary tube into small pocket of tarp. At one end align rivet hole in tarp with rivet hole in tube. Insert SILVER drive rivet into hole making sure it is fully seated and set with hammer. At other end, pull tarp by hand to stretch it until holes on tube and tarp line up.
  • Page 17 5. ATTACHING SPOOLS TO ROLL TUBE A. FRONT SPOOL (BLACK) Front spool is marked with an L (left) to match with black (unpainted) spring and black (unpainted) end of roll tube. Start assembly by sliding rubber ring onto the roll tube (serves as a seal). Insert the offset tab end of the black spring into the L spool so its tab extends through small hole.
  • Page 18 5. ATTACHING SPOOLS TO ROLL TUBE (Continued) B. REAR SPOOL (RED) Rear spool is marked with an R (right) to match with red marked spring and with red marked end of roll tube. Assemble these components in same manner as front spool but turn spool CLOCKWISE and push on. Slide PVC spacer on, insert bolt and lock nut.
  • Page 19 6. ATTACHING CABLES AND RATCHETS A. WRAPPING CABLE With tarp hand rolled to covered position, attach barrel end of cable to barrel groove on spool. Be sure cable follows grooves. Wrap cable around spool grooves up to last full wrap. Let ball end of cable hang down next to box wall and attach cable to hook on ratchet strap.
  • Page 20 6. ATTACHING CABLES AND RATCHETS (Continued) Before tightening, adjust brackets to hold cables at angle as shown, approximately 1/4” then tighten bolts NOTE: For SRT-2 Electric installations after completing all of step 6 on ® this page, proceed to step 10 on page 24.
  • Page 21 7. MANUAL CRANK HANDLE A. INSTALL FLEX DRIVE With both ratchets firmly mounted to side of box, remove finger tight nut and bolt that holds PVC spacer on at rear (red) end of roll tube. Holding flex drive end of handle parallel to roll tube, slide shaft into end of tube protruding from spool and align holes on handle shaft and PVC spacer with holes on tube.
  • Page 22 8. CABLE TENSION A. DETERMINING TENSION Cable tension is easily determined by position of the tension channel on front and rear spools. As tension is applied with ratchet, the spool turns. Watch the tensioning channel on side of spool. Proper tension is achieved when the tension channel is level at bottom.
  • Page 23 9. HANDLE HOLDERS A. LOCATION OF HANDLE HOLDERS In most cases, the holders are installed on the sidewalls of the box at the rear corners. Place them as low as possible on rub rail near corner of box. Snap holder onto handle. Select best location on side of box in closed position.
  • Page 24 10. TARP TUBE FASTENERS Check to make sure stationary tube is centered on box. At front and rear tarp stops, tighten set screws with Allen wrench. IMPORTANT: These set screws prevent tube and tarp system from sliding back when raising box or from road vibration.

  • Page 28 12. CABLE TENSION A. PREPARING ROLL TUBE FOR TENSIONING Remove bolt holding PVC spacer on black end of roll tube. Slide motor shaft extension into tube. Adjust shaft to allow clearance for motor to travel fully open. This can be checked by temporarily placing motor up in position. With proper clearance, use hole in tube as guide for marking and drilling hole through shaft extension.
  • Page 29 12. CABLE TENSION (Continued) B. DETERMINING TENSION Cable tension is easily determined by position of tension channel on front and rear spools. As tension is applied with ratchet, the spool will turn, watch the tensioning channel on side of spool - proper tension is achieved when the tension channel is level at the bottom.
  • Page 30 13. MOTOR AND PIVOT ARMS A. MOUNTING LOWER PIVOT ARM At center of box on outside, locate pivot point of lower arm about 36” down from bottom of end cap. Drill a 3/8” hole through box wall. From inside of box, insert bolt through hole and tighten with nut on outside.
