• Align the holes provided in the edge of the ramp with the holes
in the center of the ramp retainer attachment channels as
follows:
Place one of the ¼” pins with the wire retainer through the •
aligned holes in the ramp and the retainer attachment channel.
Align the hole in the second ramp retainer attachment channel •
with the second hole in the ramp. Note that the U-bolt may
have to be loosened so the ramp retainer attaching channel
can be moved either direction to align the holes. When aligned,
insert a second ¼” pin with wire retainer. Once the pin is in-
serted, retighten the U-bolt just loosened to adjust for proper
hole spacing. The two pins will secure the ramps in the trans-
port position.
• Note the (right) passenger side ramp must always be installed
first.
• Repeat the above process on the second ramp on the (left)
drivers side of the trailer.
There are two carriage bolts and plastic bushing supplied in •
the kit. These bushing, when mounted on the ramp, will keep
the ramps from moving either inward or outward when load-
ing your machine. The bushings will extend down between the
deck planks to eliminate the side movement during loading.
Mount the bushing to the end of the ramp that attaches to the
trailer side frame. The bushing can be installed in one of three
positions to create the appropriate spacing width for loading
your machines.
• Installation is complete. The ramps can now be stored secure-
ly during the towing process and can be easily removed for
either loading or unloading the machines.
Using The Ramps
• Always remove the ramp that is on the *left side of the
trailer first. The ramps are removed from its normal trans-
port position by removing the two ¼” retainer pins that attach
the ramp to the ramp retainer attachment channels.
• Once the pins are removed, rotate the ramp backward on top
to remove it from the ramp retainer attachment channels.
• Place the hook end of the ramp over the side frame tube or
the rear tube of the trailer deck so the hook end catches over
the inside top of the tube. This will secure it in place while load-
ing the machine.
• Repeat the above process on the second ramp. Space the
ramps to mate the wheel centers of the machine.
• Once the machines are loaded and the ramps are ready for
storage, place them in the ramp retainer attachment channels
using a reverse process of removing them.
Special Instructions:
Always check lighting and turn signal operations before towing.

Your ATV trailer is equipped with a totally grounded wire
harness. You must be sure the wire harness plug that comes from
the tow vehicle is grounded to the tow vehicle using the white
