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:

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 Ramp is clean and dry before loading or unloading.

Setup

1. The tailgate the Ramp will sit

on and the Ramp must be

dry and clean. Check for and

tighten any loose hardware.

2. Sit the tongue (angled lip) of the Ramp

on the tailgate. The Tongue Edge

must face down and fully contact

the truck’s tailgate. Extend the

Safety Chain on each side of the 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 RAMP FROM COMING OFF

THE VEHICLE BEING LOADED.
3. Pull the loading Ramp back until

the chains are tight. The entire

tongue portion of the Ramp must

fit onto the tailgate; if not, adjust

the Safety Chains accordingly, or

shorter chains must be used.

Chain Adjustment

1. Remove the bolt and washer that

hold the safety chain to the Ramp.

2. Reinsert the bolt through a link that

will shorten the chain so the loading

Ramp can not be pulled backwards

more than an inch or two.

3. Make sure the washer prevents the bolt

from slipping through the chain link

and tighten the bolt securely.

4. Adjust the other chain to equal length.
