Hollywood Racks Swing Away (Boomer style) - Manual (Page 2)

Step 1: Prepare Frames: Place the Inside and Outside
frames of the rack on the floor or work table. The hinge
sections on the frames should be next to each other as
shown in Fig. 4. Next, align the hinge sections so a bolt
may pass through their holes.
Step 2: Secure large “T” handle bolt: Insert the large
“T” Handle bolt (fig. 4) located on the back of the Inside
frame into the Outside frame. LOOSELY tighten the
handle one or two threads so that the upper and lower
frames are joined but not tight. This will make the rest of
the assembly easier. Next, prepare the hinge hardware
(Nut, bolt, washer, cotter pin) and tools.

Step 3: Hinge Assembly: Place bolt end inside the hole in
the hinge. Tap the bolt through the hinges of the Inside
and Outside frames as shown in Fig. 5. After the bolt
passes through both hinge sections, install the nut onto the
bolt. Tighten until the end of the nut is flush with the end
of the bolt and the hole for the cotter pin is visible.
Step 4: Insert Cotter Pin: The swinging action of the
rack is designed to be snug to avoid rapid opening if you
are parked uphill. Insert the cotter pin through the nut,
and hole in the end of the bolt. Using pliers, spread the
ends of the cotter pin so that it cannot slip backwards.
This will prevent the nut from unscrewing; yet allow the
bolt to be free enough to allow proper “Swing Away”
action. See Fig. 6. Complete tightening of large T handle.
An extra cotter pin has been included.
Step 5: Insert receiver tube into trailer
hitch: Slide the receiver tube into the trailer
hitch far enough so that the hole for the hitch
pin in the insert tube lines up with the hitch pin
hole on your receiver. If you intend to use the
rack after assembly, insert and thread the hitch
pin bolt into the rack, tighten securely with
adjustable wrench or ¾” socket. Note: If you
can not use your vehicle to help with the
assembly process, place rack pieces on floor,
workbench or other available flat workspace.
NOTE: PROPER INSTALLATION AND
BENDING OF THE COTTER PIN’S LEGS
ARE CRITICAL! PLEASE ENSURE THIS
STEP IS DONE CORRECTLY.
