WARNING: All persons not involved in the loading process must stand clear of the
loading ramp and truck.
Make sure no pets are nearby.
WHENEVER possible, use a winch (not provided) to load the ATV.
This is the safest way to load an ATV.
The winch and mounting/connection points must all have appropriate capacity to pull the
ATV up the ramp safely.
ATV-Mounted Winch Setup:
Unwind cable from the winch and attach it to a secure mounting
location on the truck, at the same height as the winch will be after the ATV has been loaded.
Truck Mounted Winch Setup
:
Attach the cable to the bottom front part of the frame.
While operating the winch, stand back and to the side of the ATV, with the vehicle between you
and the winch cable.
Operate the winch to slowly load the ATV onto the vehicle.
For non-winch loading:
1. Have an assistant monitor the Ramp tongue for slippage on the tailgate.
2. Confirm that the weight of the ATV and any other cargo, combined is still less than the 1500 lb.
capacity of this ramp.
3. Not recommended to ride ATV.
If some is on or near ATV while loading, always wear a safety
helmet. Slowly load ATV onto ramp at less than 1 mile per hour using the slowest gear possible.
Drive ATV at a slow, steady speed while leaning forward on the front pegs to keep proper
balance. Avoid bouncing or jerking, because they will increase stress on the ramp.
WARNING!
BE SURE THE 4-WHEELED ATV IS CENTERED ON RAMP.
4. Once load is in truck bed, be sure to set the ATV’s brake & securely tie down ATV. Remove the
ramp, fold it up and secure it with the
Safety Chains and Hooks (2)

Caution! Contact between the tongue (angled lip) of the ramp and the tailgate of the vehicle
may result in damage to the vehicle’s body finish.
