FORD FLARESIDE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Download TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY: 7/16″ wrench or socket 3/8″ wrench or socket #2 Phillips screwdriver Tape measure STEP 1: REMOVE CONTENTS & PLYWOOD PACKAGING Remove the canister and top cover from the box. Remove components from inside the canister. Perform a quick inventory to insure all parts are there. Using the wrench or socket remove the 2 bolts holding the plywood packaging supports on the ends of the canister. Discard plywood packaging supports and bolts. Locate the rail guide bolts in the hardware pack and install them in the two holes where the packaging bolts and plywood were just removed. Repeat on both ends of the canister. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY: BEFORE YOU START: HARDWARE USED: STEP 2: INSTALL WIRING HARNESS You will need one or two support pieces (We suggest using the top of the box the Bedlocker was shipped in) to set in the truck bed. Set the support piece approximately one foot from the cab. Set the Canister on the support(s) in the truck bed. The canister should be resting on the support piece, centered in the truck bed, raising the top of the canister above the bed rails by 2-3 inches. Measure the height from the top of the front sill of your truck bed to the top of the truck bed rails (or rail covers). Peel and attach the correct thickness of rigid foam stripping under the 1.0″ lip of the Bedlocker canister on the forward ( Cab ) side of the canister (Between the truck bed sill and canister). This foam will reduce any sag and ensure a consistent level between the canister and the rails. Hold onto the ribbed blanket and cut the zip tie. ( Do not let the blanket roll back on itself or the underside on the fi rst three ribs can damage the visual surface of the other rolled ribs ) . Remove all of the vinyl sheeting protecting the blanket. Pull the blanket out about 1 foot from the canister and let it hang. STEP 3: PLACE CANISTER IN TRUCK BED & INSTALL RIGID FOAM HARDWARE USED: RIGID FOAM x 1 Top of Canister Should Clear Truck Bed Rails by 2-3″ Support Piece (If the optional wire harness Part# BL1120 is used, you may want to tape it to the main harness to ease having to pull them through the stake pocket separately). From inside the truck bed push the long wire harness end without the plug through the stake pocket on the drivers side of the truck and out the underside of the truck bed box. Leave a couple of feet of slack inside the box for mounting the electronics. Route the wire harness under the truck and to the battery in the engine compartment. Attach the fuse holder to the end of the Red/positive wire. (Do not attach to battery at this time) Secure the harness with wire ties provided. HARDWARE USED: WIRE HARNESS x 1
