2. TONNO LOCK The Tonno Lock is now a standard feature included with all Tuff Tonneaus. The Tonno Lock is situated at the front of the tonneau cover, so as not to impede the accessibility of the Tuff Tonneau. Fitting the lock is simple and only requires a small attachment on the inside edge of the tub behind the cab. Together with a padlock, it provides you with an extremely effective theft deterrent. The Tonno is designed to suit all utes and prevent thieves stealing your Tuff Tonneau, so you can continue to rely on the Tuff Tonneaus name to you what you want in a tonneau cover. 2.1 BASIC TOOL REQUIRED Rivet gun, Drill, Torch, and Marking Pencil/Pen. You will need to buy a small Padlock- make sure the padlock will go through the hole on the Tonno lock. 2.2 TONNO LOCK CONTENTS - 2 X 4MM Aluminium rivets - 1 x Tonno Lock bracket 2.3 FITTING TONNO LOCK 1. Attach the black lock bracket to the bracket on the tonneau with your padlock, and fit the tarp. 2. Getting under the tarp with a torch, place the lock bracket against the body and mark holes with a pen. 3. Remove tonneau and drill the marks with a 4 mm drill bit, place the lock bracket in position and rivet. 3. MULTI-FIT SUPPORT BAR The Tuff Tonneau Multi - Fit Support Bar is designed to fit almost all Utes on the Market, from Subaru, Brumby s, to Cab Chassis and aluminium trays. Part No: 300516 12 P a g e

Insert solid bar pieces into either end of hollow tube. Adjust bar so it fits between bar bracket holders the holes facing to the ground (so the grub screws don t rub against the tonneau), as shown above and with a white pencil make a mark through the small holes of the hollow bar onto the solid ends. This is where you will drill a hole to the depth of about 1-2mm (do not go any further) 2. Join the pieces back together and screw grub screws through the hollow bar into the holes that you drilled. Make sure you do not over tighten the grub screws. Then place the tonneau sheath over the bar to stop the bar wearing against the tonneau. Refit the bar. You may kink the bar in middle to give it some extra height to assist with water runoff. 3. Warning if you do not fit the tonneau sheath over the bar, the tonneau cover will quickly wear through which is not covered by warranty. Your Tuff Tonneau is now ready for work. 13 P a g e
