    Snowmobiles only. Depending on ATV/UTV/Golf Cart/Snowmobile weight, a minimum of a Class III or a Class IV receiver hitch is required for the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System.

  • Page 5 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions MAD-RAMPS ASSEMBLY GUIDE NOTE: All ½ inch jam bolts used for assembling the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System must be torqued to 70 ft/lbs each. Please check jam bolts for proper torque after first use and periodically thereafter.
  • Page 6 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions Step 3: Install a Retainer Clip into the 3rd hole from the angled end of Main Arm (part #6), as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Retainer clips are installed as a backup safety measure to prevent the Pivot Bar (part #5) from moving out of position on the Main Arm.
  • Page 7 Cages through their entire range of motion. The positioning of the Pivot Bar must be far enough back on the Main Arm to allow the rear tires of your ATV/ UTV to be positioned well-forward of the Pivot Bar once the ATV/UTV is loaded onto the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System. Figure 13...
  • Page 8 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions Once the Pivot Bar is positioned correctly, secure the Pivot Bar to the Main Arm by tightening the two jam bolts. Tighten the side jam bolt first and then the bottom jam bolt with a torque wrench to 70 ft/lbs each (Figure 14).
  • Page 9 (part #8), as shown in Figure 19. Ensure that the 3 pre-drilled holes on the side of the Passenger- Side Aluminum Ramp are facing toward the outside of the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System; this allows for the spring tension pin on the Passenger-Side Pivot Cage to lock the Passenger-Side Alu- minum Ramp into place when loading, unloading, and transporting your ATV/ UTV, as shown in Fig- ure 20.
  • Page 10 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions Step 8: Adjust the Bumper Guard (part #9) forward or backward on the Main Arm to allow the Aluminum Ramps (part #1 and #2) to travel through the Pivot Cages (part #7 and #8) and come to a rest just below the Bumper Guard (Figure 21).
  • Page 11 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions Step 9 (Continued): Thread the Rear Marker Light harness through the rings of the retainer clips in the Main Arm (part #6) to prevent the harness from sagging (Figure 25). Figure 25 Using the male and female ends of the butt connectors, connect the Rear Marker Light harness at the center of the Light Bar (part #4), as shown in Figure 26.
  • Page 12 Plug in the light harness and then check the LED lights on the Light Bar to ensure proper operation of turn signals, brake lights, and tail lights (Figure 27). The MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System is equipped with a 4-way standard plug. An adapter may be required depending on your truck’s wiring configuration.
  • Page 13 Figure 2 Step 2: Drive your machine up to MAD-RAMPS, but stop before the front tires come in contact with either aluminum ramp. Adjust the ramps by them sliding along the Pivot Bar so they line up with the wheel width of your ATV or UTV, as shown in Figure 3.
  • Page 14 A slow, steady ascent up the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System allows for a smooth transition as your rear tires cross the Pivot Bar. Place your ATV or UTV in park, and engage the parking brake (if applicable).
  • Page 15 Use a minimum of one ratchet strap to secure the rear end of your machine to the Main Arm of the MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System. Use a minimum of two additional ratchet straps to secure the front end of your machine to each of the two cargo hooks at the front of your truck’s bed.
  • Page 16 MR1400 MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System Installation Instructions Step 3: NOTE: There is no need to adjust the ramps for wheel width prior to unloading. The weight of your machine holds the Pivot Cages and Aluminum Ramps in place during transportation.
