Can I order Easy Cover parts on-line?

At this time, no, there is not an on-line source to order parts; although we plan to provide that capability in the near future. There is, however, an Easy Cover Parts List on our website to make the ordering process easier. It can be found by choosing "Products" from the main menu, then "Dump Products and Liners" and finally "Easy Cover". As always our inside sales team is happy to assist. You may reach them at 800-535-9545.

Does Aero have literature displaying the different motor options for products?

Yes, motor options can be downloaded in this Motor Sheet.

How do I increase the spring tension of a side mount 575 system?

To increase tension on the springs rotate or clock the system toward the rear of the vehicle. To do so, remove the two 1/2" counter sunk bolts and rotate the spring base to the next set of pre-set holes. Reference the Easy Cover Spring Tension Diagram.pdf for details.

Why will my tarp system run one direction but not the other?

Most of the time one of the lead wires has been damaged and developed a short. The easiest way to check this is to switch the two wires on the motor. If the system now operates the direction it would not before there is a short in one of the two lead wires that connects the motor and the switch.

My system will not operate. How do I know if it is the motor, switch or wire?

The best way to narrow the search is to remove the two lead wires at the motor and use a test power source (large battery charger or battery with long jumper cables). If the motor operates both directions the motor is operational. Next, check to see if the problem is in the electrical system. Check the circuit breaker first. You can do this by using a test light and checking posts for power. The switch can be checked by removing the A1 and A2 terminals and supplying a test power source (most cases 12VDC, although some systems have 24VDC). Then use A1 and A2 wires for positive and negative connections. If your motor operates in both directions check the B1 and B2 terminals on the switch. One of the terminals should test hot and the other should test solid ground. If this is the case, the problem is in the switch and it should be replaced. Reference the Easy Cover 500/550/575 Wiring Diagram.pdffor details.

Can you install a kit less the wind deflector and mounting plates?

Yes, as long the bearings are incorporated into the cab shield; you should also ensure that you have enough space for the tarp roller bar to fit within the confines of the cab shield.

What tarp color lasts the longest against weather, and sunlight?

Black, because it is naturally resistant to UV rays.

I have the under mount springs and cannot get the system to track straight. What can I do?

If the system is installed on the body and the arm lengths are equally adjusted, you may need to shim one of the sides of the spring base or the underneath side. If the arm is too close to the body on the driver's side, slightly shim the passenger side; start with 1/4". Roll the system to see if it properly tracks. If so, weld the shim in place. A small adjustment will make a big difference on side to side tracking. Reference the Easy Cover Shim Diagram.pdf for details on where to shim to improve tracking.

Can you order an Easy Cover® System for a Bath Tub, or half-round body trailer?

Yes, however power pack springs will be necessary as well as the fabrication of special brackets to conform to the curve of the bed. Call Aero Industries at (800) 535-9545 for more details.

Yes, however power pack springs will be necessary as well as the fabrication of special brackets to conform to the curve of the bed. Call Aero Industries at (800) 535-9545 for more details.

Will the Easy Cover® work for a Roll-off Container?

Yes, but it will have to be mounted to the container and not the truck. This will allow the system to stay with the container wherever it is dropped. Also, side mount springs will need to be used.

What is the difference between the Economy Version and the Standard Easy Cover®? What are the best applications for each?

The two systems operate in the same fashion; arm-style/mouse trap style with spring. However, there are differences in arm material, spring options, size, motors, tarps, and of course pricing.

Arm Material

Economy: Square Profile arms

Standard: Heavy duty "tear drop" profile arms (unbreakable under normal operating conditions).

Spring Option

Economy: Open air side mount springs

Standard: PowerPack (closed) side mount, under mount or underbody springs

Size of Dump Unit

Economy: Only up to 21'

Standard: Up to 40'

Motors

Economy: Superwinch

Standard: Aero Industries exclusive PowerPlus on shorter applications and heavy-duty Superwinch on longer applications

Tarp

Economy: No webbing, Asphalt tarps are made from polypropylene.

Standard: Webbing, Asphalt tarps are made from RFL standard fabric, Option for a weighted tarp

The economy system can be used for most applications up to 21' dump units. However, for heavy duty application, Aero Industries recommends the standard Easy Cover. We have steel and aluminum available in both styles. The wind deflector is an option with the Economy, where the standard comes with a choice of wind deflector or tarp housing. Both kits offer the manual hand crank or the electric motor option.

What type of tarp material and colors do you carry for the Easy Cover® product line?

Standard materials are:

• Vinyl mesh (Black)
• Closed mesh (White)
• RFL dipped asphalt (Black)
• Asphalt polypropylene (Black)

Note: Closed mesh (White) will not have a warranty.

Non-standard tarp materials/color:

• 18 oz Vinyl... Offered in black, blue, red, white, gray, green, brown, navy, light blue, tan, burgundy, yellow, orange, and olive drab (army).

Note: These solid vinyl tarps will not have a warranty.

What is the difference between closed and open mesh tarps?

The difference is in the weave of the tarp. The holes or air pockets are larger in open mesh tarps than in closed mesh tarps.

What is the difference between RFL and polypropylene asphalt tarps?

Quality. RFL is a durable canvas material that is treated for asphalt and polypropylene is a lower grade mesh material. RFL is used on Standard Easy Cover systems and polypropylene is used on Economy Easy Cover systems.
