PROPER USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Assure that your required capacity and loading height conform
to the diagram (FIG 1). Before each use check the strap for any
fraying or excessive wear. Also check the welds on the back of
the ramp for any visual damage. Do not use if damaged in any
way.
2. Make sure the vehicle is parked with emergency brake engaged
and/or wheels are chocked and engine is off to prevent any
movement while loading/unloading. If loading/unloading from
a trailer, also make sure the trailer is properly coupled to the
tow vehicle.
3. Open the ramp completely. Beware of the pinch points at the
hinges. Keep body parts away from the pinch points. Center
loading ramp on loading surface with top plates placed
completely and firmly on top of the loading surface. Movement
of ramps may scratch attachment or mounting surface of
loading vehicle or trailer.
4. Make sure the ramp is aligned with the wheels of the equipment
being loaded. This is most important on ramps that allow the
sections to be separated. Make sure that the sections are
aligned at the proper distance apart so that the tires of the
equipment being loaded are centered on each of the ramp
sections.
5. Attach the strap as shown in FIG 2 and FIG 3, from the underside
of the ramp to a structural member of the loading vehicle
(i.e. hitch, bumper, frame). When attaching the ramp straps to
the loading vehicle, make sure that both ramps are in line with
the ramp section it is holding down (FIG 2 and FIG 3).
Note: The strap should be attached on the center of the third or fourth
ramp rung. Straps must be secured tightly to the loading vehicle/trailer
to limit any movement while loading or unloading.
6. With the engine off, carefully roll or winch equipment up or
down ramp. Do not drive or ride any equipment up or down
loading ramp.
