OPERATING THE TARPAULIN SYSTEM
All of the Slide ‘N Go systems will have a longer life expectancy if the systems are cranked to the back of the trailer at all times except when dumping the load. The handle must be locked and tension applied to the tarp.
**SPECIAL WARNING FOR ALL SYSTEM**
 | DO NOT DUMP WITH THE LOAD COVERED |
| ALWAYS CRANK THE TARP ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT BEFORE DUMPING |
| FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE THE BOWS TO BE SUCKED DOWN |
| THIS CAN CAUSE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE BOWS AND TARP |
Check the tension of the nylon cables ( if a drop side system) when you check your steel drive cables. The nylon cables should not sag when the system is cranked to the front of the trailer.
You must use auto clips, ropes, or starps to secure the tarp when the vehicle is in motion.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
If the system will not move when cranked, check to see if:
The V belt or chain is too loose
The cables are too loose
The set screw in the shaft chain or V belt pulley is loose
Check side boards to see if obstructed
If cables are breaking:
Check the height of your drive cables. The bottom of the cables should be approximately ½" above the running surface of the body. Heights greater than 1" can cause the cables to wear prematurely or even snap. Make sure the cables are not loose. Tarp is too long, creating a lot of wind whipping which can break cables and cause premature wear on system
If your system is hard to crank see if:
The cables are too tight
The cables are dirty or not lubricated
The rear bow is not in alignment
The bows are not at the same cable centers (You can reshape the bows by pushing upwards or downwards to bend them back into shape.
The distance between the ends of each bow must be the same as the center distance of the cable pulleys
For systems with nylon cables, the nylon cables may be too loose
The sideboards are damaged
