Pace-Edwards JR Series Ford Flareside - Manual (Page 5)

5 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Locate the sweep seals (rubber weather strips) on the rails.
Apply Pace Edwards’ UV Protectant (or 303 brand protectant)
to a rag and wipe the underside of the sweep seal and the top
of the wear strip.
Extend the cover to the tailgate. Use an Allen wrench if
needed to carefully draw out the sweep seal (seal should be
angled outwards toward the cover – not rolled in toward the
bed rail). (Fig. 7A)
Proper care and placement of the sweep seal will ensure
smooth operation of the cover. Alcohol, petroleum based or
silicon-based cleaners such as Armor-All
® should be avoided
and ARE NOT recommended for our covers
STEP 7: LUBRICATING & PLACING THE SWEEP SEALS
You have now completed the installation of your JackRabbit Series hard tonneau cover. If you have any
questions please do not hesitate to call us at: (800) 338-3697 and ask for our technical service department.

Place the Top Cover on the canister and install
with the two black Top Cover screws into the top
cover mounting blocks. (we recommend that you
use a thread locking adhesive like Loctite® on the
screws)
Retract the cover to the fully open position.
Attach the 4” Velcro strip onto the Velcro strip
already attached to the pull strap.
Pull the pull strap over to the driver’s side rail and
remove the tape from the 4” Velcro strip.
Then apply the Velcro strip onto the underside of
the rail at your desired position.
This will hold the pull strap off of the fl oor and out
of the way when cargo is being stored in the truck
bed.

STEP 8: INSTALLING DRAIN TUBES
First ensure that the washer is in place on the drain tube end being inserted into the canister (This will prevent
water leakage). Test fi t 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 with the wire cutters or a utility knife.
With the cover opened, insert the drain tube fi ttings into the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the canister by
pushing them in place from under the canister. Drain tube should click into place.
Place the other end of the drain tube through the plastic/ rubber access port or through the pre-drilled holes in the
fl oor or the front wall of the truck bed.
DRAIN TUBE FITTING
NOTE: If the OE access ports are located on the front wall of the truck bed you should ensure that the drain-
tubes are inserted and directed down so water fl ows out of the truck.
