Figure A: Components
1.When folded, the Ramp will be wrapped in the Safety Chains and Hooks. Release the hooks and unfold the Ramp completely.
2.Make sure the tailgate the ramp will sit on is dry and clean.
3.Sit the Tongues (angled lips) of the Ramp on the tailgate. Stretch the Safety Chain on each side of the Ramp up into the inside of the truck bed.
4.Attach the hook on each Safety Chain to a secure attachment point on the inside of the truck bed.
WARNING! Safety chains must be connected to secure attachment points able to withstand the pulling force of loading. They must also be taut enough to prevent the ramp from coming off the vehicle being loaded.
5.Pull the loading ramp back until the chains are tight. If most of the edge or the entire edge of the ramp is off of the edge of the vehicle the chains need to be adjusted or shorter chains must be used.
Chain Adjustment
1.Remove the bolt and washer that hold the safety chain to the ramp.
2.Reinsert the bolt through a link that will shorten the chain so the loading ramp can not be pulled backwards more than an inch or two.
3.Make sure that the bolt is properly tightened and the washer prevents the bolt from slipping through the chain link.
4.Adjust the other chain to equal length.
