tighten the bolt further. Repeat until the ramps do not
tilt down. Then, loosen the bolt slightly and test to see
if the ramps tilt down. When the ramps tilt down, the
bolt is adjusted correctly.
First, adjust the ½" x 4½" stabilizer bolt, as describe-
dabove. Then, adjust the two ½"-13 x 1¼" stabilizer
bolts. Adjust the 5/8"-13 x 4½" tongue attachment bolt
last.
Do not over-tighten the stabilizer and tongue
attachment bolts. If the bolts are over-tightened,
the deck will not tilt — vehicles cannot be loaded

the dolly may veer to the left or the right during
towing, which may cause a loss of vehicular con-
trol.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
property damage, personal injury or even death.
12. Once the ramps have been adjusted to the towed
vehicle, screw in the four ½"-13 x 1" bolts with jam nuts
(Figure 7) to the bottom of the four U-bolts.
Torque the four bolts to 25 ft./lbs. Then, tighten the
jam nuts against the bolts.
If the bolts are not torqued to 25 ft./lbs., towing
vibrations may work one or all of them loose, which
will cause the ramp(s) to slide back and forth dur-
ing towing.
The ramps or other dolly components may be
damaged.
1 3 . Position the deck spacer (Figure 8) over the pre-
drilled 1-1/8" hole at the center of the axle.
14. Apply the supplied lubricant to the top of the deck
spacer and the two ramp wear strips (inset, Figure
8).
Lubricant must be applied to the deck spacer
and ramp wear strips, or the dolly will not track
smoothly around corners — it will jerk and jump.
This “lurching” or “skipping” movement will be felt
at the towing vehicle's steering wheel.
15. Position the deck over the axle as shown in Figure
9, so that the pre-drilled holes at the center of the deck,
deck spacer and axle align.
16. Attach the deck with the 1"-8 x 6" pivot bolt (Figure
9), flat washers (both sides) and nut.
Torque the deck pivot bolt to 70 ft./lbs.
Do not over-tighten the deck pivot bolt. If the
deck pivot bolt is over-tightened, the deck will not
pivot when the motorhome turns, which will apply
extreme stress to the deck, the tongue, the straps
and/or other components, which may cause them
to fail.
The towed vehicle or the dolly may separate
from the motorhome, which may result in property
damage, personal injury or even death.
17. The dolly is assembled. Now, tighten the tongue
and stabilizer attachment bolts, which you attached in
steps 6 and 8.
First, one at a time, hand-tighten each of the bolts
listed below. Then remove the pivot pin (Figure 4) and
tilt the ramps to the ground. If the ramps tilt down,
