not use this product for purposes that it
was not designed for.
C. Never exceed the maximum weight
capacity of 500 Lbs.

rier and/or hitch receiver, and personal injury
to the person loading the Carrier.

haust pipes before setting up the Carrier.

hicle, do not use the Carrier.

ed or unloaded into the Carrier. Slowly roll
the equipment into and out of the Carrier per
the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Ramp to load an object more than this 14”
vertical height is not safe.

are less than 12” from the ground without
using properly rated hitch riser.
