Be sure to set the vehicle in park with the emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked.
Be sure that the vehicle and the truck ramps are on a hard, level surface.
Assembly
This product comes assembled in the box and should be ready for use.
Operation
Align the truck ramps in the center of the tires you wish to support.
Ensure that the ramps are directly in front of the desired tires to be lifted.
After steps one and two have been completed, ensure that the product handle is in the lowest
position and ensure that product is in full contact with the ground.
Rubber contacts located on the base of the product will prevent the ramps from shifting while the
vehicle is being loaded.
Have a second person, referred to the spotter here after, stand away from the vehicle being loaded
and advise the driver of their position while driving the vehicles on the ramp. It is the job of the
spotter to ensure that the vehicle is as centered on the ramps as possible.
Allow the vehicle to gradually climb up the ramps, using as little of accelerating force as possible.
Once the vehicle has reached the center of the top of the ramp, apply the brakes of the vehicle to
prevent the vehicle from falling off the front. The spotter should inform the driver when they have
reached this spot.
With the manual breaks applied, place the vehicle in neutral and apply the vehicles emergency
brake system. Only once the emergency brakes have been applied should you release the manual
brakes of the vehicle.
Once the emergency brakes have been activated, you can shut the vehicle off and the driver can
safely step out of the vehicle. Please note that there will now be a drop off once someone exits the
vehicle and they should take extra precaution when exiting the vehicle.
Wheel chock the wheels of the vehicle that are not being supported by the ramps for additional
safety.
Once secured, give the supported vehicle a firm shake and ensure that the ramps and the vehicle
are all stable.
Finally, ensure that no damage has happened to the ramps while the vehicle was being loaded. If
there is any structural damage noticed, you should remove the vehicle from the ramps and
discontinue use until a new set of truck ramps can be acquired or the existing set can be repaired
by a verified repair center.
To lower a vehicle, use a spotter once more to assist the driver off of the ramps. Ensure that all
persons and property are safely away from the vehicle before you begin to offload. Remove all
wheels chocks before entering the vehicle
Once in the vehicle, turn the vehicle on and apply the manual brake system. Release the
emergency brake and shift the vehicle into reverse. Once in gear, slowly release the manual brake
system and slowly and in a controlled manner back the vehicle off of the truck ramps using the
spotter to keep the vehicle aligned during the off load process.
Once the vehicle is clear of the area, it is safe to dolly the ramps by lifting their handles to a storage
area.
Maintenance
Inspect each stand before use. Ensure all parts move freely. If rust appears, sand away the rust area and
cover with appropriate utility paint.
