• Danger of serious personal injury exists. Serious personal injury can occur when using a loading ramp.
• Never attempt to ride any vehicle up or down the loading ramp.
• Look for a wall or a depression to reduce the loading angle, the lower the ramp angle the easier the loading
of the vehicle will be.
• Park the vehicle on flat, firm, grassy terrain.
• Set the emergency brake and chock the tires of the loading vehicle to prevent any movement while loading
and unloading the equipment.
• Center loading ramp on the loading surface with support bars on top of the loading surface.
• Make sure ramps are aligned at the proper distance apart so that the tires of the equipment being loaded
are centered on the ramp.
• To prevent kick back, always attach cam buckle straps between the bumper of the truck and the center of
loading ramp, pulling strap tight.
• Roll or winch equipment up or down the ramp.
• Before each use, always check for any worn, loose, or damaged parts on the loading ramp. If any damage
is present, DO NOT USE THE RAMP.
• Periodically check the fasteners to make sure they are still tight and in place.
• Keep ramp surface clean by occasionally cleaning with water and any mild detergent.
• Do not add to or try to modify the loading ramp in any way. Any modifications will void any warranties as
well as affect the structural integrity of the ramp itself.
OPERATION
We suggest that you drill 7/16" diameter holes through the support bars (3) into the tail gate or truck bed
so that the pins can be inserted as a safety device in holding ramps in place. To prevent kick back of the
loading ramp, always attach cam buckle straps to bumper of truck and center of ramp pulling strap tight.
Align individual ramps to correctly correspond to your wheel track. Always remove key, turn fuel off, and
set parking brake after loading vehicle.
