Setup and Operation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section
at the beginning of this manual including all text under
subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH:
Before loading or unloading turn vehicle’s engine off, set its transmission
in gear or park, engage its emergency brake and block its wheels.
Make sure the Ramps are clean and dry before loading or unloading.
Setup
1. The tailgate the Ramps will sit
on and both of the Ramps must
be dry and clean. Check for and
tighten any loose hardware.
2. Sit the Tongue (angled lip) of the
Ramps on the tailgate. The Tongue
must face down, and fully contact
the truck’s tailgate. Extend the
Safety Chain on each Ramp up
into the inside of the truck bed;
attach each Safety Chain to a secure
attachment point on the truck chassis.
WARNING! CONNECT SAFETY CHAINS
TO SECURE ATTACHMENT POINTS
WITHIN THE TRUCK BED ABLE TO
WITHSTAND THE PULLING FORCE
OF LOADING. THEY MUST ALSO
BE TAUT ENOUGH TO PREVENT
THE RAMPS FROM COMING OFF
THE VEHICLE BEING LOADED.
3. Pull the Ramps backwards
until the Chains are tight.
The entire Tongue portion of the Ramps
must fit onto the tailgate; if not, adjust
the Safety Chains accordingly.
Chain Adjustment
1. Loop the chain through the anchoring
point on the truck and hook it to itself.
2. Adjust the other chain to equal length.
