PREPARATION FOR LOADING

1. Park the trailer on firm, flat ground. Make sure the trailer is properly hitched to the vehicle and level.
2. Check the trailer for damage or wear. If the trailer is not sturdy or is damaged, do not continue.
3. Remove any obstructions from the trailer bed.
4. Unfold the ramp and place the attaching plate on the edge of the trailer. Make sure the ramp centered on the loading surface, resting on hard, level ground, and is at the lowest angle possible. Use one of the following options:
   • For a standard trailer edge, place the ramp attaching plate tight against the trailer edge. Safety straps are required – see Securing Ramp section.
   • If your trailer has a ramp attachment bracket, fit the ramp-attaching plate lip into the bracket. Safety straps are not required (skip Securing Ramp section).
   • This ramp may be used with the Alumi-Loc bracket (sold separately) to prevent ramp kick-out in the safest way. See dealer for details. Safety straps are not required (skip Securing Ramp section).

SECURING RAMP

1. Before each use, check the straps for fraying/wear. Do not use damaged straps.
2. Loop the strap around the bottom cross beam on the underside of the ramp. Loop the S-hook through the loop end.
3. Pull the strap tight, cinching the loop around the cross beam. Find a secure place to hook the safety strap, such as a tie-down loop on the trailer. Hook the end of the strap to the trailer.
4. Tighten the strap securely and make sure the ramp is secure against the trailer.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the second strap.

LOADING

1. Start the motorcycle or ATV. Position the vehicle to ride up the center of the ramp. Be ready to put your feet down in case of a stall. Acceleration must be slow, smooth, and constant.
