Installation
Always use the anti-tilt device (M) with this carrier to help with stabilization. Place the anti-tilt device
on the carrier hitch tube so that the bolts can be tightened against the vehicle hitch receiver. Place the
carrier hitch tube into the vehicle hitch receiver and secure with the hitch pin (O). Securely tighten the
nuts on the anti-tilt device using a 19 mm wrench.
Be sure all bolts on the carrier are securely tightened, the load is properly tied down, and the ramp is
properly secured before use.
