53300-Collapsible Drop Basket Manual
Note: This product is designed to be used on tubular steel racks!
Drop Basket Assembly:
1. Lay out the six sections of the Drop Basket. The tail gate will be the rectangular portion with a
Kolpin label on it. The Rack Bottom will be contoured to fit around the ATV seat. The drop side
will be the smallest rectangular portion. The bottom will be the larger rectangular portion without
a label. The left and right sides will be made of 1.5 inch tubing with the labels facing outward.
2. Check to see that all the plastic plugs are inside the ends of the 1 inch tubing. These will prevent
any excess noise.
3. Using the basket assembly bolts, attach the sections together with an Allen Wrench. Lock-tight
can be placed on the bolts to prevent any loosening of the bolts. NOTE: Honda models will need
to use the Contoured Bottom (#6) with the welded straps facing UP.
Drop Basket Mounting:
1. Locate positions on your ATV rack to mount the Drop Basket. Try to stay near the metal
reinforcement straps on the metal mesh.
2. Slide the 1/4” U-Bolts under the OEM Rack and up through the metal mesh, cross over washer,
and thread the 1/4” Nylon Nuts onto the U-Bolt. Repeat this step four times to securely attach the
Drop Basket to your ATV.
Drop Basket Use:
• The Drop Basket has a tail gate that can open freely or
stop in a 90 degree position. In order to achieve the 90
degree position, insert the pins into the holes on the tail
gate that lock the tail gate in the up position. The cable
will pull tight at the 90 degree position.
• Note that the Drop Basket is designed to carry only as
much weight as the ATV manufacturer recommends.
Overloading can cause loss of control!
• The tail gate is designed to hold 50#, and should always
be in the upward position when the ATV is moving to prevent damage to the cables.
