4- Wheel ATV Loading and Unloading
• These Ramps are for use with 2-wheeled dirt bikes and 4-wheeled ATV’s only.
Do not use these Ramps to load/unload 3-wheeled vehicles.
• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle that weighs more than 1000 lb.
• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle
with wheel width wider than the Ramp.
• Do not use these Ramps to load or unload any vehicle that is carrying gear on its racks.
• Do not use these Ramps if the tailgate on the vehicle being
loaded or unloaded is higher than half each Ramp’s length (36″).
WARNING! Be aware of dynamic loading!
Sudden load movement may briefly create excess load causing the Ramps to fail.
WARNING! All persons not involved in the process must stand clear
of the Ramps and truck. Make sure no pets are nearby.
Loading Using a Winch (not included)
1. The winch and mounting/
connection points must all have
appropriate capacity to pull the
ATV up the Ramps safely.
2. ATV Mounted Winch Setup:
Unwind cable from the winch and attach
it to a secure mounting location on the
truck, at the same height as the winch
will be after the ATV has been loaded.
3. Truck Mounted Winch Setup:
Attach the cable to the bottom
front part of the frame.
4. While operating the winch,
stand back and to the side of the
ATV, with the vehicle between
you and the winch cable.

the ATV onto the vehicle.
Unloading
WARNING! Riding an ATV while unloading
is dangerous and should not be attempted.
1. Have an assistant monitor the Ramp
tongues for slippage on the tailgate.
2. Setup the Ramps on the truck
bed as explained under operation.
Remove all tie down straps and
securing equipment from the ATV.
WARNING! Be sure the 4-wheel
ATV is centered on Ramps.
3. While staying off the ATV,
start the engine, disengage the parking
brake, put the transmission into
reverse, and make sure the wheels
are in a straight line with the Ramps.
While holding the brake, position
yourself in front of the ATV.
4. Release the brake and push on the
ATV to get it started down the Ramps.
Allow the ATV to roll down naturally,
do not steer it or apply the brakes.
If it stops while on the Ramps, gently
give it throttle to back it off the Ramps.
