Bed Rail Tie-Down System

CAUTION!

The maximum load per cleat should

not exceed 250 lbs (113 kg) and the

angle of the load on each cleat

should not exceed 60 degrees above

horizontal, or damage to the cleat or

cleat rail may occur.

• There are two adjustable cleats on

each side of the bed that can be used

to assist in securing cargo.

• Each cleat must be located and

tightened down in one of the detents,

along either rail, in order to keep

cargo properly secure.

• To move the cleat to any position on

the rail, turn the nut

counterclockwise, approx imately

three turns. Then, pull out on the cleat

and slide it to the detent nearest the

desired location. Make sure the cleat

is seated in the detent and tighten

the nut.

• To remove the cleats from the utility

rail, remove the end cap by pushing

up on the locking tab, located on the

bottom of the end cap. Slide the cleat

off the end of the rail.
