Page 3 ASSeMbLy Flange Tongue Edge Warning!In the following assembly process, the flange pictured must face down with the Tongue (10) edge fully contacting the tailgate. It is designed to keep the Ramps from moving once the weight of the load is riding on the ramp. Refer to the Assembly Drawing near the end of this manual. Line up the four holes on the Tongue (10) with the four holes on the Upper Ramp (5). Insert four Bolts (11) from the top (as pictured on the Assembly Drawing) and secure with Flat Washers, Split Lock Washers, and Nuts. Attach the safety chain (12) to the Upper Ramp (5) as shown on the assembly diagram. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with other ramp, placing the safety chain on the opposite side of the other ramp. 2. Make sure the vehicle which you are loading into is turned off and in gear or park, with the emergency brake engaged and the wheels blocked. Make sure each individual Ramp is completely open and the securing chain and hook is correctly in place (see #3 below). Make sure each Ramp is clean and dry before loading. Wear a safety helmet and AnSI-approved safety goggles at all times during loading and unloading. Make sure the tailgate the ramp will sit on, is dry and clean. Sit the tongue (angled lip) of the Ramp on the tailgate. Stretch the Safety Chain on each Ramp being used up into the inside of the truck bed; attach the hook on each Safety Chain to a secure attachment point on the inside of the truck bed. SAFETY CHAINS MUST BE CONNECTED TO SECURE ATTACHMENT POINTS WITHIN THE TRUCK BED ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE PULLING FORCE OF LOADING. THEY MUST ALSO BE TAUT ENOUGH TO PREvENT THE RAMP FROM COMING OFF THE vEHICLE BEING LOADED. Pull the loading ramp back until the chains are tight. The entire tongue portion of the ramps must fit onto the tailgate; If not, adjust the Safety Chains (12) accordingly or shorter chains must be used.

Reinsert the bolt through a link that will shorten the chain so the loading ramp can not be pulled backwards by the ATv's rear tire. Make sure that the bolt is properly tightened and the washer prevents the bolt from slipping through the chain link. [. . . ] Have a qualified adult assistant monitor the Ramp tongue for slippage on the tailgate. Setup the ramp on the truck bed as explained under "Operation", on page 4. Remove all tie down straps and securing equipment from the ATv. BE SURE THE 4-WHEELED ATv IS CENTERED ON RAMP. [. . . ]
