If Power Is Lost Can Retrax Powertrax Pro XR Powered Be Opened Manually?
Question:
Wondering if this cover can be opened and closed manually if its not hooked up to power or iced over and worried about burning out the motor? Thanks

No, the PowertraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails - Powered # RTT-90852 can not be used manually according to my contact at Retrax. It can only be used utilizing the electric motor.
Since you are concerned about ice build up and access without power, I recommend instead going with the manual option # RTT-80852. This still gives you the side tracks and will manually slide on maintenance free ball bearings and can lock in place at any desired point. This simply removes the power feature that in your case may be an issue versus a bonus feature.
