ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Center Fold Model Only (74543)

1. First, assemble the hinge bars to the

bottom ramp section using the

hardware (capscrew, washer and

locknut) provided, as shown in Fig. 1.

(Note: Only finger-tighten the

hardware at this time.) The washers

are used as spacers between the rail

and hinge bar. (Quantity 2 per side)

2. Next, assemble the top section to the

bottom/hinge assembly using the

hardware provided, as shown in Fig.

2. Again, the washers are used as

spacers between the rail and hinge

bar and under the nut and bolt heads.

(Quantity 3 per side)

3. Tighten all hardware to 25 – 30 in. lb

of torque. Use caution not to

overtighten. This may cause the side

rails to distort during assembly. (Note:

Fig. 2 is showing a pivot point. The

two ramp sections should fold up on

themselves without excessive force.)

CONNECT RAMPS INSTRUCTIONS

Straight Ramp Models Only (74537, 74546)

Create bi-fold ramp by connecting 2 straight

ramps.

1. Insert shoulder rivets on right side of first ramp into lock

slot on left side of second ramp, as shown in Fig. 1. (Note:

• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the ramp.

• Do not exceed the capacity of your loading surface (i.e. tailgate, bumper). If unknown, consult the manufacturer to find load capacities.

• Do not drive or ride any equipment up or down the loading ramp.

• Straps must be secured tightly to limit any movement of the ramp while loading or unloading. If loading or unloading from a vehicle/trailer, be sure the vehicle is

parked with emergency brake engaged and/or wheels are chocked and engine is off. If loading or unloading from a trailer, also make sure the trailer is properly

coupled to the tow vehicle.

• Never stand in the path of equipment when loading/unloading with the ramp, and keep bystanders away from the ramps.

• This ramp must be used on a level and stable surface.

• Do not step between rungs, this may cause a person to fall through and possibly result in serious bodily injury.

• Ramp surfaces may be slippery when wet or dirty.

• Ramps are intended for loading/unloading equipment onto a trailer or pickup truck. Do not use ramp sections as a ladder, bridge, scaffolding, or for any other

use.

• Keep body parts completely clear of the hinge pin area at all times.

• Do not attempt to load or unload power equipment with its engine running.

• Do not leave ramps unattended when attached. Someone not knowing the intended use may misuse the ramps or move the ramps which may cause

misalignment when returning to load/unload equipment.

• Do not cut, drill, weld or modify ramp sections. Any modifications to the ramp sections may cause them to become unstable. Never use ramp if there are any

broken, bent or worn parts.

• Ramp may scratch loading surface (i.e. tailgate, bumper, trailer, ground surface).

• Remove ramp from loading position before moving vehicle or trailer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Assure your required capacity and loading height conform to the chart and

diagram (see Fig. 3). Before each use check the strap for any fraying or

excessive wear. Also check the welds on the back of the ramp for any

visual damage. Do not use if damaged in any way.

2. Make sure the vehicle is parked with emergency brake engaged and/or

wheels are chocked and engine is off to prevent any movement while

loading/unloading. If loading/unloading from a trailer, also make sure the

trailer is properly coupled to the tow vehicle.

3. Center loading ramp on loading surface with top plates placed completely

and firmly on top of the loading surface. Movement of ramps may scratch

attachment or mounting surface of loading vehicle or trailer. Note: If ramp

is hinged, make sure ramp is open completely before positioning. Beware

of pinch points at the hinges. Keep body parts away from the pinch points.

4. Make sure the ramp is aligned with the wheels of the equipment being loaded. This is most important on ramps that allow the sections to be separated.

Make sure that the sections are aligned at the proper distance apart so that the tires of the equipment being loaded are centered on each of the ramp

sections.

5. Attach the strap, as shown in Fig. 4 & 5, from the underside of the ramp to a structural member of the loading vehicle (i.e. hitch, bumper, frame). When

attaching the straps to the loading vehicle, make sure that straps are in line with the ramp section they are holding down (see Fig. 4 & 5). Note: The

strap should be attached on the center of the second or third ramp rung. Straps must be secured tightly to the loading vehicle/trailer to limit any

movement while loading or unloading.

6. With the engine off, carefully roll or winch equipment up or down ramp. Do Not Drive Or Ride Any Equipment Up Or Down Loading Ramp.

INSTRUCTIVO PARA CONECTAR LAS RAMPAS

Para la rampa recta modela solamente (74537, 74546)

Armar una rampa de doble pliegue conectando dos rampas

rectas.

1. Inserte los remaches con cabeza ensanchada de la

primera rampa en la ranura de bloqueo en el lado

izquierdo de la segunda rampa, tal como ilustra la

Figura 1. (Nótese: Hay conectores en la parte superior

E inferior de cada rampa.)

2. Deslice las rampas hasta que se bloqueen en su lugar.

3. Para desbloquearlas, deslícelas en sentido contrario.

INSTRUCCIONES DE ENSAMBLAJE

Sólo para el modelo de pliegue central (74543)

1. Primero, arme (como se muestra en la Figura 1) las

barras de la bisagra con la sección inferior de la

rampa empleando los instrumentos provistos (tornillo

de casquete, arandela, tuerca de seguridad). (Nota:

en este caso ajuste el tornillo con los dedos). Las

arandelas se usan para crear espacios entre el riel y

las barras de la bisagra (Cantidad: dos por cada

lado).

2. Luego arme la sección superior con la sección

inferior/bisagra ensamblada utilizando los

instrumentos proporcionados, como lo muestra la

Figura 2. De nuevo, las arandelas se usan para crear

espacios entre el riel y la barra de la bisagra y entre

la tuerca y las cabezas atornilladas (Cantidad: tres

por cada lado).

3. Ajuste todas las piezas entre 25-30 libras por

pulgadas de torque (29-35 kgf .cm). Procure no

ajustar demasiado, lo cual podría causar que los

lados de los rieles se distorsionen durante el

ensamblaje. (Nota: la Figura 2 muestra un eje central,

las dos secciones de la rampa deben plegarse sobre

sí mismas sin realizar una fuerza excesiva).
