Step 1
Align the holes in the upper ramp (#19) and lower ramp (#20) hinge brackets.
Insert an M10 button socket cap screw (#18) into each hinge. Secure with an
M10 lock nut (#3), ensuring the hinge operates freely. Step 2
Place the bottom bracket (#1) on the bottom of the carrier frame (#5) and line
up the square holes.
Insert an M10 eye bolt (#4) through the bottom bracket, carrier frame and
U-clamp (#2) in all four locations.
Note: The head of the eye bolt will be on the outside of the carrier
frame.
Secure with M10 lock nuts (#3).
Snug the hardware, but do not fully tighten. Step 3
Mount the fixed plate (#6) to the carrier frame (#5) by inserting an M10 eye
bolt (#8) through the upper hole in the fixed plate and the upper hole in the
carrier frame as shown. Secure with an M10 lock nut (#3).
Insert an M10 button socket cap screw (#7) through the lower hole in the
carrier frame and the lower hole in the fixed plate. Secure with an M10 lock
nut.
Insert M10 eye bolt into top hole of carrier frame as shown. Slide M10 flat
washer (#9) onto eye bolt. Secure with an M10 lock nut.
At this time, torque all M10 hardware in steps 2 and 3 to 12 ft-lbs. Step
4
Install the shank assembly (#10) on the bottom bracket (#1) by aligning the
two upper holes in the shank assembly with both holes in the bottom bracket.
Insert an M16 hex head bolt (#11) through the hole in the shank assembly and
bottom bracket nearest to the cargo area. Secure with an M16 lock nut (#12),
tightening until shank assembly still pivots freely.
Insert pin (#13) into the other upper hole on the shank assembly and bottom
bracket and secure with a clip (#14).
Insert the shank assembly into the vehicle’s receiver tube, aligning the hole
in the shank assembly with the hole in the receiver.
Insert the M16 spring washer (#16) and M16 flat washer (#17) onto the M16
anti-rattle hitch pin (#15). Insert the M16 hitch pin through the receiver
tube and the shank assembly hole. Tighten until there is no longer any rattle.
Insert a clip through the M16 hitch pin. Step 5
With the ramp in the upright position, fasten the rubber belt on the step bolt
of the ramp.
Note: To properly align the locking pin and the fixed plate, the upper
ramp (19) and the rubber foot of the lower ramp (20) must be in contact with
each other. Both sections of the ramp need to be moved together to allow the
proper angle for the locking pin to align with the hole on the fixed plate.
