1. While using the corded control, hold the
ramp to prevent uncontrolled tilting of the
SportLoader. Press the button to start
lowering the SportLoader. As the cradle
nears the ground, let it rest on the ground
(Figure 8). Do NOT let it push into the
ground. You could cause damage to your
SportLoader.
2. Verify that the clamp (tire backing plates)
is slightly wider than the width of the tire.
Verify the motorcycle is in neutral and roll
it carefully onto the cradle (Figure 9).
3. Use the hand crank to close the clamp and
hold the tire in place (Figure 10).
4. Two CargoBuckles are mounted to the
tire cradle. (Figure 11) To further stabilize
the motorcycle during loading, secure an
“S” hook to handlebar and ratchet tight on
both sides.
5. Operate the SportLoader by using the
removable corded control switch. As
the bike moves up the ramp, control the
pivoting movement until the main ramp
assembly comes to rest in the pickup bed
(Figure 12).
