2) For installation of the Pet Loader boat brackets to the boat please refer to the installation
instructions provided. It may be helpful to separate the parts required for the installation to the boat
from those needed to complete the steps assembly. Installation of the brackets to the boat will
require Items #3, #4, #5, #6, #16, four of # 15 and 8 of #13.
3) To complete the assembly of the Pet Loader please follow these step by step instructions (Pictures
as shown are for reference. Some models may vary).
a. Remove the first step item #8 (9x18) and lay to the
side on a flat surface. You will notice that on each
side of the step the short braces have been pre-
assembled for your convenience. We will come
back to this later.
b. Remove the two step assembly (landing 18x 24
step and second step 9 x18) which is partially
assembled.
c. Remove the two long brace bars
(item number 10) and lay them
with the smooth part of the bolts
facing up. One will be the left side
and the other the right. In this
figure the left side(as you face the
back of the boat – port side) is on the bottom. Please note that as you look
at the bars with the smooth side of the bolt facing you, if the three hole
pattern is to your left then it is the left brace bar. If the three hole pattern is
to your right then that is the right brace bar.
d. Notice that the bars have three holes at one end. Be
careful to assemble the brace bars with the single hole
on the top. Refer to figures below.
e. The hardware for your Pet Loader has been
assembled in small bags holding the parts you will
need for each step. Locate the package - A - that
has four one inch long 3/8 inch bolts. These will be
used to assemble the long brace bars to the partially
assembled landing and second step.
f. Each location noted by the - A - arrows will require a
bolt, two washers, one nut and one spacer. These will
be used to attach the long brace bars to the two step
assembly shown in 3.b. Each bar will require two sets
of hardware.
g. Place a washer onto the bolt and slide it to the head
of the bolt. It should look like this. Place the bolt
through the lowest hole in the left brace bar then
slide a spacer onto the bolt. Now push the bolt
through the hole in the left side of the landing step
as shown. From the underside of the step place a
washer and then the nut on the blot and tighten
slightly. Repeat this for the other three – A -
locations.

h. Locate the small bag - B - with two 1-1/4 inch 3/8 bolts.
These will be used in the two - B - locations, one on
each side. Slide the washer onto the bolt then push it
through the brace bar, and then the step while holding
the step in place. From the underside of the step add a
washer and nut, tighten slightly. Repeat this for the
other side. The assembly should look like this.
i. Locate the small bag - C - with two one inch long 3/8 inch bolts, two acorn
nuts and four washers. These will be used in the –C- locations.
j. On each side of the step are short braces that came
preassembled. Take each and lift it in place until the
hole in the end of the brace align with the hole in
the side bar as shown in location - C -. Install the
bolt and washer through the brackets and on the
back side add a washer and acorn nut. Repeat for
the right side. The assembly should look like this.
Be sure that the acorn nut is to the inside of the
brace bar.
4) With the Pet Loader on a flat surface check to make sure that the steps and
bars look in place and square. Tighten all bolts using the supplied allen
wrench and an open end wrench or pliers. The assembly is now complete.
5) Once the Pet Laoder has been assembled and the brackets (items #3 and #4)
installed on the boat then install step item # 2 between the brackets using the
four 3/8 by ¾long bolts. Install all four bolts through the brackets and into the
nuts installed on the sides of the step and tighten.
