Proper use, maintenance, and storage are essential for this product to function properly.
o Keep the product clean & dry. Store it indoors.

Lubricate pivot point and moving parts as necessary.
Before each use, inspect the following components. Replace any component that is not in normal
condition before returning the carrier to service.
1. Safety chains, quick links, and snap hooks (attached to the free end of each safety chain): confirm that the
quick links are undamaged and securely attached to the fork pockets. Snap hooks should not be bent,
stretched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. Check the chains for cracks, elongations, bends, etc.
2. Drum ring: confirm that the ring is not cracked or warped. The ring should rotate smoothly
3. Labels: all labels should be in place, undamaged, and readable. Refer to the Labeling Diagram (below). If a
label is unreadable or missing, contact Technical Service to order a replacement.
4. Fasteners (hardware): examine all bolts, nuts, washers, pins, and cotter pins.
5. Fork pockets and pivot pins: confirm that each pocket is structurally sound, i.e. not severely rusted/corroded.
Each pocket should be square and rigid, and be free of rust and corrosion. Pivot pins should not be bent,
cracked, or severely rusted/corroded. Fork pockets should be able to rotate freely. Remove rust with steel
wool. Clean the affected area and apply touchup paint. Remove dirt and debris.
