Setup and Operation Instructions

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Warning:

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Before loading or unloading turn vehicle’s engine off, set its transmission in gear or park, engage its emergency brake and block its wheels. Make sure the Ramps are clean and dry before loading or unloading.

Setup

1. The truck tailgate the Ramps will sit on and both of the Ramps must be dry and clean.

2. With the Ramp rungs facing up, sit the tongue of each Ramp on the tailgate as shown below. The entire tongue portion of each Ramp must fully contact the truck’s tailgate.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: CONNECT SAFETY STRAPS TO SECURE ATTACHMENT POINTS ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE PULLING FORCE OF LOADING. THEY MUST ALSO BE TAUT ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE RAMPS FROM COMING OFF THE VEHICLE BEING LOADED.

3. Connect Safety Straps:

   • The Safety Straps are permanently attached around a rung of each Ramp.
   • Connect the hook end of one Safety Strap to the anchor point on the truck’s frame closest to that Ramp.
   • Pull the Safety Strap tight so that the loading Ramp cannot be pulled backwards.

4. Repeat connection steps for the Safety Strap on the other Ramp.

5. After Safety Strap adjustment, the entire tongue portion of the Ramps must fit securely onto the tailgate and not be able to slide backwards. If either Ramp can still slide,
   adjust both Safety Straps.

4-Wheel ATV Loading and Unloading

WARNING:

• These Ramps are for use with 2-wheeled dirt bikes and 4-wheeled ATV’s only. Do not use these Ramps to load/unload 3-wheeled vehicles.

• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle that weighs more than 3000 lb.

• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle that is wider than the Ramp.

• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle that is carrying gear on its racks.

• Do not use these Ramps if the tailgate on the vehicle being loaded or unloaded is higher than half each Ramp’s length (45″).

• WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Riding an ATV while loading or unloading is dangerous and should not be attempted.

• WARNING! Be aware of dynamic loading!
  Sudden load movement may briefly create excess load causing the Ramps to fail.

• WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: All persons not involved in the process must stand clear of the Ramps and truck. Make sure no pets are nearby.

Loading Using a Winch (not included)

• WARNING! Riding an ATV while loading is dangerous and should not be attempted.
• WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Follow all winch operating instructions and safety measures.

1. Set up the Ramps on the truck tailgate as explained under Setup on page 4.
2. The winch and mounting/connection points must all have appropriate capacity to pull the ATV up the Ramps safely.
3. ATV Mounted Winch Setup: Unwind cable from the winch and attach it to a secure mounting location on the truck, at the same height as the winch will be after the ATV has been loaded.
4. Truck Mounted Winch Setup: Attach the cable to the bottom front part of the ATV frame.
5. While operating the winch, stand back and to the side of the ATV, with the vehicle between you and the winch cable.
6. Make sure the wheels are in a straight line with the Ramps. Operate the winch to slowly load the ATV onto the vehicle.
7. Once the ATV is safely loaded, secure it with four tie down straps (not included), one on each side of the front, and one on each side at the rear of the ATV.

Unloading

WARNING!
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Riding an ATV while unloading is dangerous and should not be attempted.

1. Have an assistant monitor the Ramp tongues for slippage on the tailgate.

2. Set up the Ramps on the truck tailgate as explained under Setup. Remove all tie down straps and securing equipment from the ATV.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Be sure the 4-wheel ATV is centered on Ramps.

3. While staying off the ATV, start the engine, disengage the parking brake, put the transmission into reverse, and make sure the wheels are in a straight line with the Ramps. While holding the brake, position yourself in front of the ATV.

4. Release the brake and push on the ATV to get it started down the Ramps. Allow the ATV to roll down naturally — do not attempt to steer it or apply the brakes. If it stops while on the Ramps, gently give it throttle to back it off the Ramps.

2-Wheel Bike Loading

1. Do not attempt to load any dirt bike or other 2-wheel motor bike alone. Have a qualified adult assist.

2. Line up the 2-wheel bike with one of the Ramps.

3. With one person pushing the bike slowly up the Ramp, a helper should be in the bed of the hauling vehicle both to guide and to apply the brake if it is necessary to stop the bike while it is on the Ramp. Have one person with a hand on the bike hand brake for safety.

4. Once the person inside the truck bed has hold of the handle bars, apply the brake and steady the bike while the other person moves behind the bike (but off to one side) and pushes it all the way into the truck bed.
   NOTE: While most dirt bikes are light enough to safely load with two people, a third person can make the job easier and safer.

5. Once the bike is safely loaded, secure it with four tie down straps (not included), one on each side of the front, and one on each side at the rear of the bike.

2-Wheel Bike Unloading

1. Sit the tongue of the Ramp on the tailgate in position behind the rear tire of the bike. The entire tongue portion of the Ramp must fully contact the truck’s tailgate. Attach the Safety Strap as explained under Setup on page 4.
2. Remove the tie-down straps (not included).
3. With assistance, slowly and carefully push the bike backwards until the back tire is at the top of the Ramp. With one person on the ground behind and to the side of the Ramp, slowly push the bike onto the Ramp. Someone must always hold the hand brake.
4. Slowly work the bike down the Ramp and onto the ground.
