Instructions
The #A7901 Lock and Load Side Kick can be installed into either a
standard 2” trailer hitch, or into an #A7900 Space Dock
For Installation in a trailer hitch, proceed to step 1
For installation in a Space Dock, proceed to step 2

Step 1
Align the outer holes in the Mounting Bracket with the holes in
the Generator Tray. For this installation, the tube on the
Mounting Bracket should be facing toward one of the longer sides
of the generator tray.
From the top of the tray, install one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” SS Hex Bolt
with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer into one of the holes as well as
one diagonal from the bolt you have just installed. Install a 3/8”-
16 x 1.25” SS Snake Eye Bolt using the supplied bit with a 3/8” SS
SAE Flat Washer into the two remaining holes. Secure the
bottom of each bolt with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer and one
3/8”-16 Grade 8 Nylock Nut. See Figure 1.1. When Complete,
proceed to step 4.

Step 2
Place a 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer onto the 3/8”-16 x 2.5” Grade 5
Hex Bolt. Slide the bolt through the Inner Wheel Bracket and
2.5” Nylon Wheel as shown in figure 2.1. Secure the bolt with
one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer and one 3/8”-16 Grade 8 Nylock
Nut. Leave the nut loose enough to allow the wheel to roll.
Place a 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer onto the 3/8”-16 x 3” Grade 5
Hex Bolt. Slide the bolt through the Outer Wheel Bracket and
Inner Wheel Bracket as shown in figure 2.1. Secure the bolt with
one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer and one 3/8”-16 Grade 8 Nylock
Nut. Tighten the nut down so the Inner Wheel Bracket is not
loose, but can still be moved by hand.
Thread a 3/8”-16 SS Hex Nut onto the 3/8”-1 x 2” Grade 8 Tap
Bolt, and then thread the tap bolt into the Inner Wheel Bracket.

Step 3
Align the outer holes in the Mounting Bracket with the holes in
the Generator Tray. For this installation, the tube on the
Mounting Bracket should be facing toward the side of the
Generator Tray with two rectangular slots.
From the top of the tray, install one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” SS Hex Bolt
with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer into one of the outer holes as
well as one diagonal from the bolt you have just installed. Install a
3/8”-16 x 1.25” SS Snake Eye Bolt using the supplied bit with a
3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer into the two remaining outer holes.
Secure the bottom of each bolt with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer
and one 3/8”-16 Grade 8 Nylock Nut. See Figure 3.1
Align the two holes in the wheel bracket assembly with the two
holes in the Mounting Bracket. Figure 3.1 shows the wheel
bracket assembly positioned for a driver side space dock
installation. For passenger side installations, reverse the direction
of the wheel bracket from what is shown.
Install one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” SS Hex Bolt into each of the two holes
in the top of the Generator Tray and out through the Wheel
Bracket and Mounting Bracket. Secure each bolt with one 3/8”
SS SAE Flat Washer and one 3/8”-16 Grade 8 Nylock Nut.

Step 4
Align the Y-Strap as shown in figure 4.1, and slide the legs of the
Y-strap through the two rectangular slots in the Generator Tray.
Once the legs of the Y-Strap are through the slots, Rotate the Y-
strap until the long side of the strap is vertical.
Once the Y-Strap is vertical, Place one 3/8”-16 x 1-1/4” SS Hex
Bolt with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer into each of the holes as
indicated in figure 4.2
On the bottom side of the tray, install two 3/8” SS SAE Flat
Washers Between the Y-Strap and Generator Tray. Secure each
bolt with one 3/8” SS SAE Flat Washer and one 3/8”-16 Grade 8
Nylock Nut. See figure 4.3

Step 5
Insert the Side Kick into a 2” hitch receiver or A7900
Space Dock and pin it in place with the 5/8” Pin and
Clip. Place the Generator in the Generator Tray.
*If using a Honda Eu2000, the control panel will need to
face away from the Y-Strap.
With the generator in place, slide the bent tab on the
Security Channel into one of the slots on the Y-Strap,
and then rotate the Security Channel down until it is
resting on top of the generator. See figure 5.1 (Yamaha
EF2400 shown). For 2000 watt generators, the U
channel will run parallel to the generator handle.

Step 6
Insert a 3/8”-16 x 1.5” Grade 5 Hex Bolt into the 2-1/4” Nylon
Knob. Thread one 3/8”-16 SS Hex Nut onto the bolt, and then
thread the bolt into the bottom of the Tension Strap as shown in
figure 6.1.

Step 7
Slide the Tension Strap up through the rectangular slot
in the Generator Tray as shown in figure 7.1. Place the
appropriate slot in the Tension Strap over the locking
tab on the Security Channel. Lock the Tension Strap to
the Security Channel using the Hidden Shackle Lock.
Once the lock is in place, tighten the knob on the bottom
of the Tension Strap to tighten the Security Channel
against the generator to hold it in place. Once the
desired tension has been reached, tighten the 3/8”-16
SS Hex Nut against the bottom of the Tension Strap to
keep the knob from backing out.
Figure 7.1

Tension on the Y-Strap can be adjusted by varying the
number of washers installed between the Y-Strap and
the Generator Tray (extra washers are provided in the
kit). If you are installing the Sidekick into a 2” hitch,
your installation is complete. If you are installing the
Sidekick into an A7900 Space Dock, continue on to step
8.
Torque all 3/8” hardware with Nylock nuts to 20ft-lbs,
with the exception of the wheel bracket axles.
Step 8
Rotate the A7900 Space Dock so that the Sidekick is
centered over the Palomino Landing Pad Bumper.
Adjust the 3/8”-16 x 2” Grade 8 Tap Bolt in the Wheel
Bracket to lower the wheel down. Adjust the wheel so
that the weight of the generator is supported when in
the travel position, and so the wheel can still easily roll
on and off of the Palomino landing pad bumper. Once
adjusted, tighten the 3/8”-16 SS Hex Nut against the
Inner Wheel Bracket to lock the bolt and corresponding
wheel height in place.
Tighten the knob and jam nut on the side of the A7900
Space Dock receiver to prevent unwanted fore and aft
movement of the Sidekick. Your installation is now
complete.

WARNING!
When using the Sidekick or any
accessory with the A7900 Space Dock,
the accessory MUST be supported by
the bumper and latched in the stored
position when the vehicle is in motion!
Failure to do so will void your warranty
and may result in damage to camper,
bumper, space dock, and accessories!
Lock maintenance
To ensure your Hidden Shackle Lock is
in optimal working condition and
corrosion resistant, we recommend
lubing the inside of the lock with a
silicone spray at least once every six
months.
