Loading Using a Winch (not included)

connection points must all have
appropriate capacity to pull the
ATV up the ramp 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.

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.

tongue for slippage on the tailgate.
2. Setup the ramp 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 ramp.
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 ramp.
While holding the brake, position
yourself in front of the ATV.

to get it started down the ramp. Allow
the ATV to roll down naturally, do not
