CARGO LOADING/UNLOADING PROCEDURE
REAR DOOR & LOADING RAMP OPERATION
1. Hitch the trailer to a tow vehicle before loading and unloading the rear cargo
area. If for some reason a tow vehicle is unavailable, use wheel chocks and
blocks on the trailer wheels to prevent trailer creep. Select a parking site where
the edge of the loading ramp will rest entirely on a flat, level surface and the
corners of the ramp will be supported. Avoid soft sand or mud surfaces. When
the trailer is loaded, the added cargo weight may cause the trailer and/or tow
vehicle to become stuck.
2. Level the trailer and deploy stabilizing jacks.
3. Deploy ramp. See the “Cargo Ramp Deployment” instructions in this manual
for more details.
4. Unlatch the rear cargo compartment door by pulling door latch ring out
and turning counter-clockwise. Door can be opened or closed while ramp is
deployed or stored.
5. Move things out of the way of your cargo, whether you are loading, or
unloading. Have an idea where your cargo will be positioned after your load/
unload activities.
6. Use caution and proper lifting techniques when loading and unloading items
from the cargo area.
7. Use extreme caution when loading/unloading ATVs, motorcycles, or other
vehicles (“motorized cargo” or “vehicle(s)”). These machines are generally
heavy, and may be hot from operation and/or covered with dirt, oil, or other
substances that may make them slippery. See the “Special Procedures for
Loading and Unloading Motorized Cargo” for more details.
8. Make certain that the cargo door seal, jamb, and the ramp storage door
hinge area are free of any debris, such as sand or snow before closing the rear
door and the ramp storage door.
9. Inspect the ramp and all associated ramp storage and deployment equip-
ment before leaving on each trip and before each loading/unloading of cargo.
Repair any damage before using ramp to load or unload cargo.
