Note:
Do not put a washer at the bolt head, but rather at the nut.
The bolt head should be recessed into the receiver hole and be putting
pressure on the Main Tube of the Carrier inside the receiver.

the included Anti-Tilt Lock
Bracket. Insert bracket to the
main tube as shown.
Insert main tube into vehicle’s
receiver hitch and install hitch pin
(not included).
P
ut the bracket flush against the hitch collar. Tighten the center bolt until it fits snugly
against the receiver hitch underside. Tighten the two side bolts; then re-tighten the center
bolt.
Make sure all bolts are tight enough such than no slack exists between the main tube
and the hitch.
Note:
Road vibration may cause bolts to loosen over time. Test by rocking the
carrier from the sides.
Minor deformation is normal on the contact area between the main
tube and the anti-tilt bracket.

Before loading your carrier with cargo, it will need to be completely
unfolded. First unfold the 2nd and 3rd Section Assemblies from the
1st Section Assembly by lifting upward on the portion of the folded
tray nearest the Main Tube (Figure 1.1); some force may be
required. Continue to unfold the assembly (Figure 1.2) until it
comes to rest.
Lift up on the 3rd Section Assembly; some force may be required
(Figure 1.3) Unfold the 3rd Section Assembly from the 2nd Section
Assembly in the same manner as before (Figure 1.4).
Once the carrier is completely folded and laid out flat (Figure 1.5),
lock it into place by flipping the four sets of pin locks into the
horizontal locked position (Figure 1.6). The pin locks are located
above each hinge point, two on each side of the carrier.

UNFOLDING YOUR CARRIER
Folding the carrier works in the same manner as unfolding. First, make sure that all four sets of pin
locks are set to the vertical unlocked position, as shown (Figure 2.1).
Begin by folding the 3rd Section Assembly upward (Figure 2.2),
bringing it to rest on top of the 2nd Section Assembly. Press down
firmly until the 3rd Section Assembly snaps into place (Figure 2.3).

Finally, fold the grouped 2nd and 3rd Section Assemblies on top of
the 1st Section Assembly (Figure 2.4). With all three sections
folded, press down firmly on folded tray until the assembly snaps
into place (Figure 2.5).
