English translation:uncovering / removing the tarpaulin or cover
Explanation:
la bàche is the tarpaulin
and my very old but very good La Rousse informs about "débàcher"
as follows:
"débarasser un véhicule, une construction etc. de la bàche qui les couvrait".
Hopefully this is of help to you. Good night.
