WARNING!When in the closed position, Tonneau Cover must be locked and tailgate must be closed! Failure to do so could result in unexpected opening of the Tonneau Cover from sudden wind gusts, which could cause damage to the vehicle and/or your Tonneau Cover!
Warranty TermsEGR warrants that the ABS truck Tonneau Cover EGR will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the retail date of purchase. The gas struts are warranted for one (1) year from the retail date of purchase. This warranty only applies to the original purchaser and is nontransferable. Warranty must be claimed with original sales receipt for proof of purchase.
ExclusionsThis warranty does not cover failure due to neglect, improper installation including any modifications to installation hardware, operating the vehicle with your EGR Tonneau Cover in the open position, alterations, addition of equipment, abuse, accident, corrosion, normal wear and tear, lack of maintenance, and exposure to chemicals that are not safe for plastics.
Incidental or consequential damage or loss of contents due to use, neglect, lack of maintenance, misuse of EGR Tonneau Cover is sole responsibility of the truck owner and operator. Paint wear to the truck bed can happen with any truck Tonneau Cover and is the sole responsibility of the truck owner. Paint damage to your truck is not covered under this warranty.
DisclaimerIn the event that your EGR Tonneau Cover is found to be defective under the terms of this warranty, it is at the discretion of EGR to repair or replace the defective part. Transportation costs and labor are not associated with this warranty claim.
MaintenanceYour EGR Tonneau Cover only requires periodic cleaning with mild car wash soap. Only use cleaners, waxes, or products that are labeled safe for use on plastics. Avoid the use of any chemicals to clean your EGR Tonneau Cover unless labelled safe for plastics. Avoid use of abrasive type cleansers as they may dull the finish.
The gas struts are self lubricating and should only be cleaned occasionally with a damp cloth. Premature seal failure will result if solvents or lubricants are used to clean struts.
The locking mechanisms & Latches only require occasional lubrication with Graphite Powder. DO NOT use any other lubricants or oils. Using alternative products will VOID Warranty.
All installation hardware and fasteners must be checked every so often for tightness.
IMPORTANT!
• Do not stand/sit or rest heavy objects on Tonneau Cover.
• Humans or animals are not to be under the closed Tonneau Cover at any time.
• Securely lock Tonneau Cover before operating vehicle.
• Do not carry open volatile chemicals with Tonneau Cover installed.
• If contact with volatile chemicals occurs clean Tonneau Cover with mild detergent and water solution.
• Read instructions carefully before installation. It is strongly recommended that installation is conducted by an authorized dealer.
• This product must be installed exactly as specified in these instructions. Failure to do so may result in improper fit and/or retention.
• Recommend installation by 2 people.
PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS (IF UNPAINTED)• Sand Tonneau Cover prior to painting recommend 500 grit using an orbital type sander.
• Prior to painting, clean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based products. Wipe completely dry.
• Best results will be achieved by wiping the areas to be painted with a tack rag just prior to painting.
• Select a top coat and clear paint that is suitable for ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene).
• Automotive paint systems, such as Acrylics or Two Packs, can be applied directly to the components. However, some paints may require a primer. If recommendations on paint specification are not followed, cracking of the part or degradation to the material may result. In all paint systems, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkalies are best avoided to reduce damage to the material properties.
• If using a paint system which requires baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70° C (155° F).
• Allow a minimum of 8 hours after baking before installation on the vehicle.
