straight and square with the trailer.
A. Ramp Stand Assembly
1. Find the channel with a threaded nylon insert .
Place the threaded nylon insert with the notch
up.
2. Place the second channel with a hole across the
first channel with the hole on top forming the letter
"X".
3. The stand pole with the stud bolt is screwed into the
nylon insert through the channel with the hole. This
should be tightened so there is no movement.
4. The top stand pole slides on the bottom assembly
and is locked in place with the ball pin. See Fig.
1.

B. Ramp Preparation
1. Place ramp stands at the approximate positions for
each corner of the ramp. If terrain is not level, add
leveling blocks as necessary to even out weight
and level to ramp stands.
2. Pull the ball pin and raise/lower each ramp stand
to the approximate position where the ramp will
be approximately level. Align stand extension with
the closest hole in the base and replace the stand
pin.
3. Lower the ramp and move the ramp stands in posi-
tion under ramp's door frame corners, where ramp
is strongest. Mark this spot. Screw tread plates,
one on each side, onto the ramp where ramp stand
location had been marked. Then place stands under
door frame corners where tread plates are located.
Tread plates are provided to prevent scratching of
ramp surface with ramp stand tops.
4. To reduce the possibility of ramp stands acciden-
tally getting kicked over insert tent stakes through
each of the 2 holes on both ramp stands.
Failure to place stands under ramp's door
frame could cause damage to door's outer
fiberglass surface when ramp is placed under
load.
