Assembly
Step 1. Install the spring pull pin (14) into the front of
the carrier basket (20). Allow the spring pull pin (14) to
partially cover the edge of the ramp (21).
Adjust the spring pull pin (14) with enough room that
when pulled back, the ramp (21) can be lifted out of
the carrier basket (20). Securely tighten jam nut.
Step 2. Flip the carrier basket (20) upside down and slide the hitch tube assembly into the center
support tube. Align the holes and insert the pin with clip (16). Install two bolts (1) with nuts (2) and
tighten until seated using a 7/8" wrench. Do not over-tighten.
Note: To properly tighten the bolts (1) with jam nuts (2), rst thread the jam nut counterclockwise up
to the head of the bolt. Fully tighten the bolt into the carrier tube. Then tighten the jam nut clockwise
against the carrier tube to secure the bolt.

Step 3. Flip the carrier right side up and install the ramp bracket (11) using the carriage bolts (3) and
lock nuts (4) using a 13mm or 1/2" wrench. Be sure the square shoulders on the carriage bolts seat
fully in the square holes on the carrier.
Note: Fully tighten the carriage bolts only after the ramp is in the upright position and the spring pins
are locked into place. This will align the pins with the holes in the ramp as there is some play in the
bracket that could cause misalignment if this procedure is not followed.

Step 4. Slide the anti-tilt locking device
(17) onto the carrier hitch tube with the
3-bolt side facing the hitch.

Step 5. (Preferred option) Slide the anti-tilt locking
device (17) tight up against the hitch receiver. Insert
a hitch pin (10) or pinch bolt (9) and tighten the
bolts using a 17mm wrench.
Step 6. (2nd option) Insert the carrier into the hitch and install the pinch bolt assembly.
Step 7. Tighten the hex head pivot bolt (7) with a 10mm
Allen wrench to eliminate side-to-side wobble of the hitch
carrier. DO NOT over-tighten. If the bolt is over-tightened,
the carrier will not be able to pivot or swing up.
It is required to install either the included anti-tilt locking device (Step 5) or pinch bolt (Step 6).

Step 8. Adjust the leveler bolt to align the pin holes. The pin with clip (16) should be able to be re-
moved/installed without binding if properly adjusted. Tighten the jam nuts when properly aligned using
a 17mm or 11/16" wrench.
Remove the pin with clip (16) to fold the carrier vertically. Replace the pin (16) in the top pin hole to
secure the carrier in the vertical position.

Step 9. To unfold the loading ramp, pull the spring pull pin (14) on the carrier basket and lift the ramp
up. Next, pull the ramp bracket spring pull pin (13) to allow the ramp to pass. Finally, lay the loading
ramp at on the ground and load wheeled cargo. After the cargo has been loaded, store the ramp in
the vertical position. To store in the vertical position, lift the ramp back up and secure using the ramp
bracket spring pull pins. Safely secure all cargo with high quality tie downs.
