continued from preceding page
ting, the ramp can be mounted in either the narrow or
wide position.
To attach the ramp at the wide setting, line the ramp
holes (as shown in Figure 1) with the main bed holes
W1
through
W4
. With the ramp in position, insert and
tighten the four ½" x 1" bolts and washers, as shown
in Figure 1.
To attach the ramp at the narrow position, line the
ramp holes (as shown in Figure 2) with the main bed
holes
N1
through
N4
. With the ramp in position, insert
and tighten the four ½" x 1" bolts and washers.

A
Secure one of the axles — If the ramps are placed
in the wide setting, insert ½" x 4½" bolts with washers
through the ramp and into holes
W6
and
W7
on the
bed. Install washers and lock nuts on the underside of
these bolts.
If the ramps are placed in the narrow setting, insert
two ½" x 4½" bolts with washers through the ramp and
into holes
N6
and
N7
(Figure 2). Install washers and
lock nuts on each of these bolts.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS — WIDE AXLE
It is imperative that all five of the ½" x 4½" bolts
are used (on each side) to secure the axle to the
main bed. All five holes will line up if the axles and
ramps are in the correct position.
Failure to install and secure all bolts as instruct-
ed may cause the axle to separate from the main
bed, resulting in property damage, personal injury
or even death.

A
Secure the ramp and axle on the other side — Repeat
Steps 2A - 4A to secure the ramp and axle on the other
side.
You must install the ramp and axle on the other
side at the same width position as you did for the first
side.
To finish the installation,
go to Step 6 on page 6.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS — NARROW AXLE
Note: if the tow dolly axles are changed from narrow
to wide, or from wide to narrow, the tow dolly must be
realigned. See the section titled “Alignment instruc-
tions.”

B
Start by opening the box and unloading everything
except the main bed of the dolly. Tear the walls of the
box down and place solid wooden blocks or stands
underneath each side of the frame so that the bottom
of the main bed is about eight inches off the ground.
Now, use the “Axle and Ramp Positioning Chart”
on page two to measure the overall tread width of the
vehicle to be towed, and to determine the position for
the axles and ramps.
2
B
Attach one of the axles — Starting on one side, re-
move the two 5/16" x 2¼" bolts that go through the tie
rod assembly (See Figure 3.). Next, pull the axle and
tie rod assembly out so the three holes in the top of
the axle align with the three holes identified as
N5
,
N6
and
N7
in Figure 2. With the wheels straight, line up
the holes in the outer tie rod assembly with the inner
holes.
Now, insert ½" x 4½" bolts with washers through
N5
,
N8
and
N9
. Install washers and lock nuts on each of
these bolts as shown. Do not insert bolts through
N6
and
N7
at this time.
Use these instructions ONLY for narrow axle assembly

B
Attach one of the ramps —
When installing the ramps, use extreme caution
not to pinch, crush, cut or otherwise damage the at-
tached wiring or plugs. If electrical components are
damaged, they will not function.
Since the axle is being assembled in the narrow set-
ting, the ramp can only be mounted in the narrow posi-
tion.
To attach the ramp in the narrow position, line the
ramp holes (as shown in Figure 2) with the main bed
holes
N1
through
N4
. With the ramp in position, insert
and tighten the four ½" x 1" bolts and washers.
4
B
Secure one of the axles — Insert a ½" x 4½" bolt
through the ramp and into hole
N7
on the bed (Figure 2).
Insert another ½" x 4½" bolt through the main bed and
axle at hole
N6
(Figure 2). Install washers and lock nuts
on each of these bolts.
Install and tighten the two 5/16" x 2¼" bolts, nuts
and washers on the tie rod assembly, as shown in Figure
3.
