To install:
- Insert a tie-down loop assembly until it is flush with the truck bed wall.
- Turn the tie-down loop clockwise to tighten. The tie-down will be hard to
turn until the toggle moves past the installation point on the toggle guide.
- Fasten the tie-down firmly by hand only. Do not use tools.
To remove:
- Remove the tie-down loop completely by turning counterclockwise while holding
the backing plate against the truck bed wall.
- Pull the backing plate away from the truck bed wall until a click is heard.
This locks the toggle into position on the toggle guide.
- Push the backing plate against the truck bed wall. This allows the toggle
nut to spin.
- Remove the backing plate, toggle guide, and toggle nut from the truck bed
wall completely.
- Reinstall the tie-down loop through the backing plate into the toggle nut
for reuse.

Do not store heavy or sharp objects in storage compartments. In a crash,
these objects may cause the cover to open and could result in injury...

Warning
You can lose control when towing a trailer if the correct equipment is
not used or the vehicle is not driven properly. For example, if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are inadequate for the load, the vehicle may not stop
as expected...
