Precision Aerodynamic Component Limited Lifetime Warranty
SmartTruck UnderTray Products, LLC (hereinafter “SmartTruck”) represents and warrants to the Original Buyer that for a period of as long as the Original Buyer owns the product (hereinafter “Warranty
Period”), the precision aerodynamic components of the product shall be of good quality, workmanship and durability and capable of withstanding normal highway and loading dock operating conditions. This Limited Lifetime Warranty is conditioned on installation of the product by a “Certified Installer.” If the Original Buyer transfers the precision aerodynamic components to a different trailer
than the one on which they were originally installed, the components must be removed and reinstalled by Certified Installer and must be installed with a new SmartTruck installation kit in order for
the Limited Lifetime Warranty to remain in effect. Failure to follow any of these requirements for installing the components on a different trailer than the one on which they were originally installed will
void the warranty.
If a defect or failure occurs with the Warranty Period, Buyer must promptly notify SmartTruck in writing at the address given on the company’s website: www.smarttruckaero.com.
Upon confirmation of defect or failure by an authorized SmartTruck representative, SmartTruck, in its
sole discretion, will either replace the defective components at no cost to the Original Buyer, or refund the amount the Original Buyer paid to purchase said components.

Installation Guidelines
Read all instructions and review all diagrams before beginning installations.
Installer Requirements:

Must be an experienced mechanic.

Must be able to safely lift 50 lbs.

Must have access to the necessary tools and equipment to complete the installation.
General Safety Guidelines:

Do not modify SmartTruck components in any way.

Ensure the placement of all SmartTruck components is compliant with DOT regulations.

Ensure all indication and clearance lights are clearly visible.

Following the installation ensure the trailer ride-height, including the ARG, is no higher
than 13 feet, 6 inches.

Installation of SmartTruck Side Fairings must take place indoors at 50 °F or higher.

Installation must take place on paved and level surface.

A stop bar must be installed forward of the Diffuser to prevent damage.

Do not modify the trailer in any way. SmartTruck components are designed to
accommodate nearly all trailer specifications.

Do not remove dissimilar metals barrier from SmartTruck components.

Follow the manufacturers’ recommendations during use of any chemicals.

Some components of the SmartTruck UnderTray System are large in size and may require
assistance maneuvering into position.

Check all hoses and wires for signs of damage following every installation. Damaged
hoses and wires may affect the proper performance of the trailer and result in serious
injury or death.

Ensure that all hoses and wires make no contact with SmartTruck components. Contact
between hoses and wires with SmartTruck components is a violation of DOT regulations
and may cause damage.

1. Trailer Inspection

Inspect the roof for signs of
damage and repair if necessary.

Measure the trailer height, 8” from
the rear, and ensure the ride
height will not exceed 13’ 6” with
the ARG installed.

The ARG can add up to 1 3/4” to
the overall height.
Roof Width
Ride Height < 13’ 6”

Measure the width of the trailer roof to ensure the proper mounting brackets are used
(See page 5).

SmartTruck offers various bracket sizes to accommodate different trailer specifications.
2. Set-Up

Secure the ARG to the trailer roof by clamping the
brackets on each side to the top rail extrusion.

The ARG brackets should be nearly flush with the
roof extrusion on each side of the trailer.

If there is an overhang of more than .5” replace
with a narrow bracket (See page 12).

Do not modify the brackets in any way.
9
Align the notches on each side of the
ARG with the rear edge of the trailer.
MNL-00-0006
3. Alignment

There will be a 1 3/4” overhang off the rear of the trailer.

Improper alignment of the ARG may affect performance.

4. Drill and Fasten

Drill a hole through three of the slots.

Attach bolts from fastener kit SMT-05-8002.

Torque bolts to 17 foot-pounds.

To ensure a water tight seal, add caulking to each hole before fastening hardware.

5. Install ARG Tabs

Clean the roof directly in front of the ARG with acetone and allow to dry completely.

Install four ARG Tabs evenly across the leading edge.

Apply a bead of sealant along the leading edge
of the ARG in between the tabs, then smooth over.
 Recommended: Manus Bond 30A or equivalent.
Clean with acetone then
apply adhesive/sealant.
6.
Finish

If necessary, trim arc cut-outs into the ARG to provide clearance around lights and lock rods.

Measure the trailer at the highest point of the ARG to ensure the ride height does not
exceed 13 feet, 6 inches. Ensure the trailer is fully compliant with DOT regulations.

Instructions to replace ARG brackets.
Depending on the make and model of a semi-trailer, the overall width may vary 1 - 2
inches. To accommodate this range of dimensions SmartTruck provides several different
ARG brackets to fit the most narrow and the widest trailers on the market. If our standard
bracket size does not fit you may need to replace your ARG brackets. See the SmartTruck
Parts Catalog to find the right brackets for your trailer.
Remove the original bolts
and brackets from each
end of the ARG.

Maintenance Schedule
SmartTruck Systems recommends a periodic inspection for damage and wear at least
twice a year. Trailer damage affecting the secure mounting or performance of the
SmartTruck system should be repaired. Damaged SmartTruck components should be
replaced to guarantee continued performance and safe vehicle operation. Maintenance
inspection should ensure the following:
Check mounting brackets for corrosion, cracks, and bends.
Replace brackets that have corrosive or other damage that may compromise
structural integrity.
Check to ensure all bolts and fasteners are properly tightend.
Loose, missing, or damaged fasteners must be replaced. All fasteners must be
tightened to the torque specifications (page 5).
Check plastic components for cracks, abrasions and dents.
Cracks in the plastic require replacement of the component. If signs of abrasion are
noted, the cause should be identified and corrected. Replacement of the plastic
component is required if it is worn through. Dents in the plastic components that are
wider than one foot across may require replacement of the component.
Check the ARG for damage.
Replace the ARG if the component is cracked in anyway. If abrasion is noted on the
top surface, inspect the surrounding roof skin for damage and repair as needed.
Check that the caulking/sealant seam between the leading edge of the ARG and
the roof is intact. Reseal if needed.
Check adhesive/sealant for cracks or separation.
Ensure adhesive/sealant located on the ARG and Side Fairings is intact and free
from cracks or separation from the plastic components. If necessary, apply
additional adhesive sealant to repair any issues.
