Conditions of use
1
The Mountain Top Roll cover is made of aluminium, plastics, and rubber.
To ensure a smooth and trouble free operation, it’s advised to follow this manual.
The Mountain Top Roll cover has been designed for normal driving conditions on roads;
the design is lightweight and not suitable for extreme usage.
Temperature range: -30 to +80 degrees Celsius.
The purpose of The Mountain Top Roll cover is to cover the bed from rain and dirt:
Designed to withstand rain water, some water ingress may occur. In the tailgate
area there will be water ingress.
The Mountain Top Roll is made of aluminium profiles which heats up and cools down
relatively quick according to weather conditions. This can cause condensation on the
underside of the lamellas and the panels.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
The Roll cover is not designed for loading although it can support normal snow loads.
No part of it can support any load from cargo or persons and the product might be
damaged if somebody stands on it. (Fig. 1)
The Mountain Top Roll is NOT a 100% waterproof product, but off ers good protection
against the elements. It is weather resistant, meaning that some water leakage must be
expected.
The pull strap has been designed only for opening and closing the Roll cover. The
carabineer and ring will be damaged in case of excessive load.
Goods in the bed must be secured during transportation to prevent damage on the
structural parts of Roll cover (especially the canister). (Fig. 2)
If the Roll cover is closed and has water, snow, ice or dirt on the cover, it might enter into
the bed as the cover retracts. To avoid this, clean off the top surface of the cover prior to
opening. (Fig. 3)
When opening the cover, the opening should be careful and controlled using the pull
strap to prevent the cover from hitting the front with full speed, which it has NOT been
designed for. (Fig. 4)

Fig. 7 Fig. 8
2 Warnings
Do not drive with persons under the Roll cover.
Do not allow persons or animals to stay in the bed when the cover is closed.
Temperatures can be very high under the cover when closed. (Fig. 5)
The pull strap should not be used to tie down cargo.
Do not disassemble the main shaft from the canister without relieving the spring
tension completely (See “Spring adjustment”). (Fig. 6)
Remove fi ngers from lamellas when opening and closing. (Fig. 7)
We do not recommend washing the Roll cover in a brushless carwash, as the
coating may be damaged due to use of chemicals. (Fig. 8)
Wash the Roll cover regularly using normal car shampoo and a soft, lint free cloth or
brush.
If washed in any carwash, or if any chemicals are used on the roll cover, please
ensure a max PH value of 8 is used, to avoid damage to the coating.

3 Functions
To open The Mountain Top Roll cover:
Make sure the Roll cover is unlocked (Fig. 9+10)
Pull back on the handle, and press down on the lock cylinder. The lock is now dis
engaged, and can be moved. (Fig. 11)
Use the pull strap to gently open the Roll cover to any position, as long as the lock
is not engaged. (Fig. 12)
To move the cover forward to an open position requires use of the locking function,
although the cover can be moved rearwards to closing position without operating the
locking function.
Engage the lock again by either going to the fully open position, or by using the pull
strap to engage the lock. (Fig. 17)

4 Release locking system
The Mountain Top Roll cover features a locking system with multiple locking points along
the profi les. The Roll cover will stop at the locking points only when the lock is engaged.
When the locking system is engaged, the Roll cover will lock in these 4 positions:
Fully open. (Fig. 13)
2/3 open. (Fig. 14)
1/3 open. (Fig. 15)
Fully closed. (Fig. 16)
To fully open the Roll cover, the locking system must be disengaged.
06/12
Fig. 17 Fig. 18
Fig. 19 Fig. 20
To toggle the locking system, pull the strap either left (engage) or right (disengage).
(Fig. 17+18)
When the Roll cover is fully opened, a lock activator is automatically triggered, engaging
the locking system. (Fig.19)
For the Roll cover to close correctly, the locking system must be engaged before the
cover is closed. (Fig. 20)

5 Spring adjustment
Before adjusting the spring, make sure the Roll cover is cleaned and lubricated properly.
The main spring is positioned in the main shaft in the canister. The spring tension has
been adjusted by delivery and is ready to use.
Spring tension can easily be adjusted. At the right side of the canister end piece there is
a pinion. (Fig. 21) To adjust the tension:
Press the shaft inward to release the locking mechanism. Use a small wrench with
an 8 mm key: (Fig. 22)
While maintaining pressure on the shaft, adjust clockwise to increase spring
tension and make the Roll cover open faster (Fig. 23)
While maintaining pressure on the shaft, adjust anticlockwise to reduce spring
tension and make the Roll cover open slowly (Fig. 23)
WARNING - The main spring may cause injury if the canister is opened without relieving
the spring tension.

6.1 General cleaning
The Roll cover should be cleaned on a regular basis using water with normal car
shampoo (PH < 8). (Fig. 24)
Drains should be cleaned often to ensure proper function of water management
(Fig. 25)
When cleaning, use a soft, lint free cloth or brush. Rinse soap foam off thoroughly with
fresh water, and dry with a clean cloth. It is vital that any other chemicals such as petrol,
strong alkaline or acid are NOT used on the surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaning tools such as steel wool, hard brushes, abrasive scourers, as
these may damage the coating surface and change the color or gloss levels of the fi nish.

6.2 Cleaning the canister
The canister should be cleaned at least once a year removing dirt and debris. The lid over
the canister needs to be removed for this operation and should be carefully reassembled.
Take care not to lose the plastic screw caps
Remove the 6 screws on the lid. Take care not to lose them. (Fig. 26)
Remove the lid. (Fig. 27)
Remove dirt and debris from the canister. (Fig. 28)
Reassemble the lid, using a drop of e.g. Locktite 243 and a torque wrench
at 1,8 Nm. (Fig. 29)

Fig. 31
6.3 Lubrication
The lock should be lubricated regularly using a suitable lock lubricant (e.g. Würth lock
spray), or similar. (Fig. 30)
Seals and side profi les should be cleaned and lubricated regularly using silicone (e.g.
Würth Silicone Oil), or similar. (Fig. 31)

6.4 Re-tightening the bolts
Over time, some of the bolts may loosen due to vibrations. To re-tighten the bolts
correctly, fi rst locate the 4 angle brackets underneath the side rails (fi g. 32):
Loosen bolts on the side rail brackets slightly. The brackets should be able to
move freely (fi g. 33).
Tighten the remaining bolts by fi rst positioning the brackets as shown, and
tighten the top bolts using a torque wrench to 10 Nm (fi g. 34).
Tighten lower bolts to 10 Nm (fi g. 35).
To prevent the bolts loosening again, remove the bolts and apply Locktite. Fasten
the bolts again using the method above (fi g. 33-35).
