TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

 

WARNING:

  When using product, basic safety precautions should  

always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Only use the cargo carrier with a properly installed 2 in hitch receiver capable of supporting the 

Cargo Carrier and its load. Refer to Hitch Manufacturers specifications and load capacities before 

using. 

Read all instructions before using this product!  

1.     

Keep work area clean.

 Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2.   

Observe work area conditions. 

Keep work area well lighted. 

3.    

Store idle equipment.

 When not in use, the Carrier must be stored in a safe and clean location. 

Always lock up products and keep out of reach of children.

4.    

Use the right product for the job.

 There are certain applications for which the Cargo Carrier was 

designed. Do not modify the Cargo Carrier and do not use the Cargo Carrier for a purpose for which  

it was not intended.

5.    

Check for damaged parts. 

Before using any product, any part that appears damaged should  

be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.  

Check for any broken or damaged parts and any other conditions that may affect its operation.  

Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.

6.    

Replacement parts and accessories.

 When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.  

Use of any other parts will void the warranty.

7.    

Do not exceed the product’s maximum load capacity of 500 lbs

.

8.    

Only use the Cargo Carrier with a properly installed 2 in. hitch receiver capable of supporting 

the Cargo Carrier and its load. If the Cargo Carrier is installed on a Class II receiver, total 

weight, including carrier, is limited to 350 lbs.

9.    

Use eye protection.

 Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles when setting up, loading  

and unloading the Cargo Carrier. Wear gloves and avoid sharp edges when assembling and when 

loading and unloading the Cargo Carrier.

10.  

Do not allow children to play on, stand upon or climb into the Cargo Carrier.

 The Cargo Carrier  

is not for carrying people or animals.

11.   

Always check hardware and assembled parts after assembling.

 All connections should be tight 

and hardware tightened.  

12.  

Always distribute objects in the Cargo Carrier evenly. 

Uneven weight distribution could cause 

tipping. 

13.  

Be aware of dynamic loading!

 Suddenly dropping or bouncing a load on the Cargo Carrier may 

create, for a brief instant, an excess load, which may result in damage to the product and/or personal 

injury. Additionally, if the vehicle hits a bump, a slight play in the receiving hitch or a movement in the 

load could result in a momentary dynamic loading effect that could dramatically increase the actual 

weight load. Check the hitch-to-carrier connection for any looseness. This momentary dynamic loading 

effect could result in damage to the Cargo Carrier, the load and possible personal injury.

14.              

WARNING:

  Be aware of the possible risk of fire and damage to property resulting from 

the vehicle’s exhaust system pointing at or running near the cargo loaded on the Cargo Carrier. Before 

installing the Cargo Carrier, check to make sure that the exhaust pipe is not pointing in the direction  

of the cargo. Flammable cargo can ignite from exposure to heat. Other cargo can be damaged from 

the heat. Always be aware of this potential danger, and never use the Cargo Carrier if the risk exists.

15.  

Follow DOT/MOT guidelines for installation and use.

16.  

Do not exceed 65 MPH while carrier is attached.
