- Unpack all pieces and lay out in an orderly fashion, this will make assembly
easier.
- Take 4 support legs with the black mark and hammer into bottom base support
rails forming an X assembly. Black mark MUST BE SECURED into bottom
base. Bottom holes are for bottom chains; top holes are for top chains.
- Locate inside support legs B (1 hole) and insert them into base support rail
AA. Make sure the 3 parallel holes are facing out and up toward TOP
support rails C and CC. Then repeat the same process as in step #2.
- Now you have the base support rails A and AA complete. Using the
2 5/16 x 2 ½ bolts, washers and locknuts provided interlock the 2 sets of
support legs forming an X assembly and simply bolt together and tighten
the 5/16 locknut to your preference.
- Locate the top hole of both B legs. Take 5/16 x 1 Ύ bolt so that the threads
are facing out towards the outside support legs. Take a flat washer, 1 length
of chain followed by another as to sandwich the chain link in-between the
washers and finish with a 5/16locknut. Repeat the same process with the
B support leg. Now hook the chain link onto the support legs. You have now
completed the X assembly.
- WARNING! All four chains must be taut without any slack before using Truck
Bed Roller! If any chain has slack, adjust where the chain link bolts to support
leg until all four chains are of equal tension. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO TRUCK BED!
- Take the top 2 support rails D and DD, insert them over the inside and
outside support legs. NOTE
for cosmetic looks only, the receiver tubes
should be face down when installing over the support legs. Use a heavy type
bench hammer with moderate force evenly tapping both ends of D and DD
rails until they are bottomed out.
- The Base of the unit is now complete. Flip it upside down to install the 5
swivel casters. Insert the stems through the holes on A and AA rails
followed by the lock washers and tighten snug with the 5/16 nuts.
- Flip the unit right side up and insert the 4 caplugs to complete assembly.
NOTE: the Truck Bed Roller was designed to break down due to UPS shipping
restrictions. After the unit is assembled, AT YOUR OPTION, we suggest welding
all the joints to make the unit completely permanent.
