lack of sealing.

through various gaps around the
tailgate area, other sealings etc.

NOTICE
• Tonneau cover is made of aluminium
profiles which heats up and cools
down relatively quick according to
weather conditions. This can cause
condensation on the inside of the
profiles and the panels.
• The pull strap has been designed
only for opening and closing the Roll
cover. The carabineer and ring will be
damaged in case of excessive load.
• Goods in the pickup bed must be
secured during transportation to
prevent damage on the structural
parts of tonneau cover (especially
the canister.)
• If the tonneau cover is closed and
has water, snow, ice or dirt on the
cover, it might enter into the pickup
bed as the cover retracts. To avoid
this, clean off the top surface of the
cover prior to opening.
• When opening the cover, the
opening should be careful and
controlled using the pull strap to
prevent the cover from hitting the
front with full speed, which it has
NOT been designed for.
CAUTION
• The Roll cover is not designed for
loading although it can support
normal snow loads. No part of it
can support any load from cargo or
persons and the product might be
damaged if somebody stands on it.

WARNING
• Do not drive with persons under the

to stay in the pickup bed when the

• Temperatures can be very high under
the cover when closed.
• The pull strap should not be used to
tie down cargo.
• Do not disassemble the main shaft
from the canister without relieving
the spring tension completely.
• Remove fingers from lamellas when
opening and closing.
• We do not recommend washing
the tonneau cover in a brushless
carwash, as the coating may be
damaged due to use of chemicals.
• Wash the Roll cover regularly using
normal car shampoo and a soft, lint
free cloth or brush.
• If washed in any carwash, or if any
chemicals are used on the roll cover,
please ensure a max PH value of 8 is
used.
