PARTS
The serial number for the cover is located here.
It is important that all areas where the bed cover mounts are clean and free of debris prior to installing.
Seal Position the driver side rail (A) against the truck bed rail. With the tailgate closed, slide the rail back until the rear seal is slightly compressed against the tailgate. Adjust the rail vertically so that the seal is flush with the truck bed caps.
NOTE: The trigger latch is included on the driver side rail only.
Attach clamps (D) starting in the middle. Evenly space 3 clamps along the driver side rail (A), leaving approximately 8″ on each end. Finger tighten to make sure the teeth of the clamp engage with the grooves of the side rail. Then tighten all clamps with a 1/2” socket or wrench. Repeat steps 4 & 5 on the passenger side rail (B).
NOTE: The use of spring clamps to hold the side rail in place can assist during the installation process.
For optimal latching performance and cover fit, the side rails (A & B) should be level with the truck bed caps and not tilted up or down. To fine-tune side rail tilt, you can reposition the clamps. To adjust the rail tilt upwards, move the clamp as high as you can. To adjust the rail tilt lower, slide the clamp downwards toward the bottom of the rail. Tighten all clamps with a 1/2” wrench or socket.
If a bulkhead seal (E) is included with the cover, clean the top of the bulkhead to install the seal. Peel the backing and adhere the seal from one bedrail edge to the other. Remove any excess with scissors or a utility knife. If the truck has a drop-in bedliner, no seal will be needed.
Place the cover (C) on the side rails towards the front of the truck bed (near the cab). The front header seal is designed to help shed water and should be sitting on top of the bulkhead.
To connect the cover assembly (C) to the side rails (A & B), slide the right and left header guides into the locked position. A clicking sound will indicate a secure attachment.
Disengage the retainer hooks from the retainer loops and unroll the cover towards the tailgate.
Place the rear header into the header stops which are located on both side rails. Rotate the rear header downwards until you feel the cover latch in place.
NOTE: We recommend closing the tailgate first and then closing the cover.
A clicking sound will indicate a correctly installed cover. Next secure the hook and loop fastener along the entire length of both side rails before driving the vehicle. Simply run your hands down both sides of the cover to achieve this. This will prevent wind from lifting the cover and causing possible damage. You are ready to drive with the cover in the closed position.NOTE: If the tailgate has a key lock, the cover is secured until the tailgate is unlocked and opened.
To drive with the cover in the open position, pull the latch towards you to release the cover (located on driver side rail). Roll the cover toward the cab of the truck, making sure that both sides roll evenly. Secure the cover by placing both retainer hooks into the retainer loops. You are ready to drive with the cover in the open position.
REMOVING THE COVER
To remove the cover from the side rails, push up on the retainer tab and then slide the header guide away from the side rail. Do this on both the driver and passenger side. Carefully lift the cover off the side rails.
AUTOMATIC TENSION CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Lo Pro is equipped with Automatic Tension Control. This helps compensate for material expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperature changes. Proper tension allows the cover to look and perform at its best. While preset at the factory, you can check cover tension after installation as well as seasonally.
If the cover feels too tight or too loose when opening or closing it, adjust the tension during the warmest part of the day. With the cover closed, release the hook and loop fastener from both side rails near the cab. Check compression of both spring plungers against the front header per Detail C. Roll the cover open and with a flat head screwdriver make adjustments. Repeat until satisfactory tension has been achieved.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
- WRINKLES ON THE VINYL FABRIC AFTER ROLLING COVER CLOSED
- Pull the vinyl fabric taut from each side. For best results, the help of a second person pulling on the opposite side is preferable.
- SAGGING VINYL FABRIC BETWEEN THE CROSS BOWS
- Adjustment to Automatic Tension Control may be required.
- WIND LIFTS UP THE EDGE OF THE VINYL FABRIC
- Make sure to engage the hook and loop on the driver and passenger side rails after closing the cover. This may need to be done periodically when taking long trips.
- VINYL FABRIC FLUTTERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN DRIVING
- Check cover tension, refer to Automatic Tension Control section.
- Make sure hook and loop fasteners are set. See Step 11
- SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE VINYL FABRIC
- Use broom or brush to remove loose snow and ice. DO NOT use sharp or pointed tools to remove snow and ice.
- Direct sunlight will help melt snow and ice off the vinyl fabric.
- TONNEAU COVER WILL NOT LATCH
- Check side rails to make sure they are level. See Step 5.
- Make sure the header seal is not caught between side rails & header.
- Check the position of side rails on the pickup box. They may be positioned too low. See Step 5.
- Make sure the cover has proper tension. See Automatic Tension Control section.
- VINYL FABRIC IS TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE
- See Automatic Tension Control to adjust the tension.
- VINYL FABRIC HAS SHIFTED TOO FAR TO ONE SIDE
- Unlatch the cover at the tailgate, release the hook and loop along both sides, go to the shorter side of the tarp and tug. The vinyl fabric will slide in the aluminum headers. Pull on the shorter side until the tarp appears centered on the whole system. Latch the cover and secure the hook and loop down both sides. Repeat if more adjustment is needed.
COVER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- It is recommended to use the tested and approved TruXedo Pro-Tex or clean with soap and water only.Do not use vinyl conditioners (e.g. Armor All®) because they will shrink the vinyl.
- It is recommended that you periodically check that the cover is securely attached to your truck bed. Inspect the clamps and front header guide slides to ensure they were properly installed and have not come loose during operation.
- It is recommended that you periodically inspect and service the rear latch closure. Clean away any excess dirt or grime.

FAQ
WHY IS THERE A HOLE PUNCHED AT THE REAR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE RAIL OF THE TRUXEDO LO PRO, DEUCE AND PRO X15 BUTNO LATCH?All side rails are punched identically to keep them uniform, to ensure manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs. By doingthis, TruXedo can build and ship more covers while maintaining competitively priced products of the highest quality.
WHY IS MY COVER HOLDING WATER AFTER IT RAINS?Water pooling on the cover is normal because our cross bows are not arched. Since they are designed to sit flat some water mayaccumulate on the top of the cover. Once you drive your truck, the water will shed from the cover. Make sure to retighten the hookand loop fasteners along the length of the bed.
