Please read all instructions before installation and to check to see that all parts are included.

Step 1: Separate the parts and make sure that you have all the parts shown in Figure 1 for each Push Up Tie Down.

Step 2: Assemble the Push Up Tie Down, gasket, expanders and threaded plates as shown in Figure 2. Make sure that the expanders are as far down on the bolt as possible. NOTE: You may need to compress the expander block slightly to fit the shorter bolt.

NOTE: The rubber mounting blocks may need to be trimmed to fit some of the smaller stake pocket holes, such as Ford and 88-98 Chevy/GMC.

Step 3: Insert the complete assembly into the stake pocket. NOTE: One bolt has been left long so that you can angle the assembly into the hole on smaller stake pockets.

Step 4: Make sure the Push Up Tie Down is centered and tighten the bolts so that the expanders flare out and grip the sides of the pockets as shown in Figure 3. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as this may cause the side rail to deform.

NOTE: PUTCO recommends applying a high quality automotive wax to maintain the original appearance on your new Push Up Tie Downs.
