INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
RAMPAGE
Motorcycle Unit Installation for Pick-ups
RAMPAGE is designed to provide
many years of safe and reliable use. The instructions on this page are provided for informational
purposes only and are not to be used for actual installation and
operation. Current
instructions are provided by the Manufacturer with each unit.
The Manufacturer's Installation and Operation instructions should
be followed carefully.
STEP 1 - Read instructions
completely before starting installation paying close attention
to all safety notes.
STEP 2 - Position RAMPAGE
Power Ramp in bed of truck - centered left to right. Front to
back location depends on length of bed - approximately 1 1/2"
from pivot point . See Manufacturer's Installation Instructions
for details.
A. Attachment
is provided by three high strength rivnuts that are flush mounted
into truck bed with tool provided. Be careful to choose a flat surface for rivnut locations.
17/32" holes drilled for rivnuts are critical to ensure proper
installation of the rivnut. Follow instructions carefully! The pre-assembled lift together with the winch motor
is then attached to the rivnuts.
STEP 3 - Locate an existing
hole or stake a pocket hole in the bed of the truck and fish the
power cables through to the underside of the truck. Route the all weather cable from the front of the
truck bed under the cab to the truck's battery leaving the quick
disconnect plug in the bed of the truck.
STEP 4 - This step is critical to ensure
the safety of you and your vehicle! Disconnect battery. Then, gain access to the underside
of the vehicle by supporting it on jack stands, or equivalent.
Once vehicle is supported safely, route wiring to battery making
sure to clear muffler, exhaust pipes, drive shaft and any sharp
or potentially hot objects. Tie strap all wiring securely. Re-check
all routing and tie straps.
STEP 5 - To avoid arcing,
connect the positive wiring to the battery first and then the
negative terminal wiring second. DO NOT ATTACH NEGATIVE TERMINAL FIRST. Tie off excess wiring in a safe
place. Motorcycle

RAMPAGE Motorcycle
Unit Operation
RAMPAGE is designed to provide
many years of safe and reliable use. The instructions on this page are provided for informational
purposes only and are not to be used for actual installation and
operation. Current
instructions are provided by the Manufacturer with each unit.
The Manufacturer's Installation and Operation instructions should
be followed carefully.
To Load Your Motorcycle
- Stop vehicle on level
terrain.
- Check attach bolts at
front and towards the rear of RAMPAGE unit to make sure they
are tight.
- From the rear of the transport
unit, remove the transport pin.
- From the front of the
unit, insert remote control plug into the remote control socket
on the solenoid.
- Check operation of the
transport unit by momentarily pushing the winch power switch
to the OUT position and then to the IN position.
- Push and hold the remote
control switch to the OUT position. At the same time pull back
on the upper frame rails until it drops down and extends to the
ground. Then, pull the safety pin that locks the cradle trolley.
This will allow the cradle to slide down the track and rest on
the ground. Pull back on the cradle trolley lever and tilt cradle
back.
WARNING - Make
sure power unit towing strap is straight and not twisted.
- Pull motorcycle into cradle
and tie it down to the rings on the crossbar making sure to choose
a point on the frame of the bike, below the handle bars. This
will ensure that you have a proper forward leaning tie-down angle
to keep the bike in the cradle. Secure tie-downs loosely - just
enough to hold the motorcycle straight. DO NOT TIGHTEN DOWN ON THE FORKS TO ELIMINATE SHOCK
TRAVEL. THIS MAY HINDER THE CRADLE FROM CAMMING OVER.
NOTE -
For Gold Wings - Choose 2 points on left and 2 points on right
to tie-down front of bike. Choose points below the handle bars
and use ratchet tie down straps only. Soft loops are available
to protect the chrome. DO
NOT TIGHTEN DOWN ON THE FORKS TO ELIMINATE SHOCK TRAVEL. THIS
MAY HINDER THE CRADLE FROM CAMMING OVER. After
bike is pulled into the vehicle and for added security, Bar Harness
together with ratchet tie down straps may be used for transport.
Bar Harness is a cup with hook that attaches to handle bars and
allows faring clearance. DO
NOT USE BAR HARNESS FOR FRONT TIE-DOWN WHEN PULLING INTO CRADLE
OR DAMAGE TO THE HANDLE BARS MAY RESULT.
- Temporarily, place the front pin into
the hole at the top of the upper frame rail and place the rear
pin through the upper frame rail and under the trolley cradle
at the highest and closet position to the front of the cradle.
This will hold the bike in position as well as preventing it
from rolling up the rail. Now, push the remote switch to the
IN position until the cradle cams over and locks. Remove both
pins.
- Push the remote control switch to the
IN position. This will start the transport unit pulling the motorcycle
up the ramp. Once the trolley cradle is up to the top of the
rail, insert the front pin and clip.
WARNING - Tailpipe
and rear fenders are the low points. As you load, check for adequate
ground clearance at these low points. If clearance is minimal,
an optional portable ramp is available to lower angle of ascent.
- Now, push the remote control switch in
the IN position until your motorcycle is pulled completely into
the vehicle.
- Insert the transport safety pin after
the unit has stopped and is pulled fully into the vehicle.
- Tie-off the motorcycle to the sides of
truck with 4 additional tiedowns - 2 at front and 2 at rear.
DO NOT LOOSEN THE
TIE-DOWNS USED FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING. THIS MAY ALLOW TOO
MUCH SLACK WHEN UNLOADING AND MAY RISK DAMAGE TO YOUR BIKE.
To Unload Your Motorcycle
- Stop vehicle on level terrain.
- Remove tie-down straps that secure the
motorcycle to the sides of the truck.
- From the rear of the transport unit, remove
the transport safety pin.
WARNING - Make
sure power unit toe strap is securely attached to front cradle.
This strap must be kept tight at all times during loading and
unloading. If power unit tow strap is not securely attached, damage
to the motorcycle and/or personal injury may result.
- Make sure front tie downs
are tight enough to hold bike upright.
- From the front, insert
the remote control plug into remote control socket.
- Push the remote control
to OUT position, while giving a pull on your motorcycle to start
the outward motion. Hold the remote control switch in the OUT
position until the unit is fully extended.
- Remove the trolley cradle
pin and continue to lower the unit to the ground, releasing the
trolley cradle lever to allow front tire to continue to the ground.
WARNING - NEVER
allow any slack in the winch strap when starting the motorcycle
down
- Unhook the motorcycle from tie down straps.
Unhook strap opposite kick stand first to allow motorcycle to
come down on kick stand.

IN position to pull the transport bunk back into the vehicle
and into the transport position, inserting trolley cradle pin
and clip as well as transport safety pin and clip. Motorcycle prices
