Operation

When operating your Aluminum Bi-fold Ramp, refer to each of the operational Figures as well as to the Parts List and Assembly Diagram located on the last page of this manual.

Warning! All persons not involved in the loading process must stand clear of the loading Ramp.

Warning! Never exceed the 1000 lb. Maximum. Load vehicle slowly.

Warning! Make sure the vehicle which you are loading into is turned off and in gear or park, with the emergency brake engaged.

Warning! Make sure the Ramp is completely open and the securing chains and hooks are correctly in place. Make sure the Ramp is clean and dry before loading.

NOTE: Due to open rung design of the Bi-Fold Ramp, walking up and down the Ramp is not recommended. If you must walk on the Ramp, read and adhere to all safety warnings and instructions provided in this instruction manual.

Step 1) Make certain that the tailgate the Ramp will sit on is dry and clean. Set the tongue of the Ramp on the tailgate. Stretch the Safety Chains and Hooks (2) on

each side of the Ramp up into the inside of the truck bed. Attach both Safety Chains and Hooks (2) to a secure location on the inside of the truck bed. The Safety Chain and Hook (2) should be taut so that the Ramp’s tongue can not slip off of the tailgate.

Step 2)	Very slowly, drive or push the vehicle that you wish to load so that the front tires are on
	the Ramp without moving the tongue resting on the tailgate. Never sit on a vehicle while
	vehicle is being moved up or down the ramp. Caution: When walking up or down the
	ramp, be extremely careful of your footing. Only walk on the innermost vertical
	beams. Never attempt to walk on the outside edge of the ramp. Be extremely
	careful not to get your feet caught between the horizontal cross braces. Always
	maintain good balance when walking up or down the ramp. Take special care to
	make sure that your feet will not slip into the space between the beams.
Step 3)	Make sure no persons or pets are near or under the Ramp or truck. Have an assistant
	monitor the Ramp tongue for slippage on the tailgate as you slowly move the vehicle
	into the truck bed.
Step 4)	When you are finished using the Ramp, remove the hooks from the truck bed.
Warning:	Contact between the tongue of the Ramp and the tailgate of the vehicle, may
	result in damage to the vehicle’s body finish.

Maintenance

1)Clean the Ramp after each use. Make certain any dirt, oil, grease or debris are not on the Ramp.

2)Check the Ramp, rungs, and Safety Chain and Hooks (2) for cracks, signs of stress, or breakage. Do not use the Ramp if faults are discovered. Take the Ramp to an authorized service technician
