MAD-RAMPS Pivoting Ramp System
Installation Instructions
Step 5:
NOTE: The Pivot Cages (part #7 and part #8) and the Aluminum Ramps (part #1 and part #2)
are side-specific and not interchangeable.
Lower your tailgate into the down position. Slide the Driver-Side Pivot Cage (part #7) onto the Pivot
Bar (part #5), as shown in Figure 11. Install a retainer clip into the Driver’s side end of the Pivot Bar
(Figure 12). Repeat the process for the Passenger-Side Pivot Cage (part #8).
There needs to be 4-6 inches of clearance between both Pivot Cages and your tailgate (Figure 13).
To obtain a distance of 4-6 inches between the Pivot Cages and your tailgate, adjust the positioning
of the Pivot Bar by sliding it forward or backward on the Main Arm (part #6). Check the Pivot Cages to
make sure they do not come in contact with the tailgate. You can perform this check by swiveling the
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.
