1. Do not exceed 10% of vehicle’s towing capacity.

The combined weight of the MotoTote and your motorcycle should not exceed 10% of your vehicle’s

towing capacity.

CAUTION: Exceeding 10% of your vehicle’s towing capacity could cause unsafe conditions

including degradation of vehicle handling and steering.

To calculate the maximum weight capacity for your vehicle divide your vehicle’s towing capacity by

10 and then subtract 60 lbs. (27 kgs.)

Example: 5000 lbs. (2273 kg) towing capacity divided by 10 = 500 lbs. (227 kg) minus MotoTote

weight of 60 lbs. (27 kg) = 440 lbs. (200 kg). This 440 lbs is the maximum tongue weight your vehi-

cle can safely haul.

2. Do not exceed hitch tongue weight capacity.

For vehicles with an aftermarket hitch, also ensure the combined weight of the MotoTote and your

motorcycle do not exceed your hitch’s tongue weight capacity. If your aftermarket hitches capacity

differs from 10% of your vehicles towing capacity, base your maximum weight capacity off the lower

value of the two minus the weight of the MotoTote at 60 lbs. (27 kgs).

CAUTION: Exceeding your hitch’s tongue weight capacity could damage the hitch or vehicle

frame.

3. Do not exceed MotoTote weight capacity.

The weight of your motorcycle should not exceed the weight capacity of your MotoTote motorcycle

hitch carrier as follows: m3 = 500 lbs. (227 kgs.), Sport/Max/Max+ = 600 lbs. (273 kgs.)

Step 1

To start assembly, insert the square tube several inches into the hitch. This will make things easier

by getting the carrier off the ground at a more comfortable height for assembly. You'll see more

details about the ZeroWobble Hitch Mount when you get to Step 5.

NOTE: The square tube of the Max & Max+ carriers is bent slightly upward to reduce “hitch

droop”. The small crease on the top of the tube is not a defect.

Attaching MTX Platform to Square Tube

(A.) Pro Tip (optional):

Attaching MTX Platform to Square Tube (6/15/22)2

For Max & Max + carriers remove contents from MTX Platform box.

For m3 & Sport carriers remove the square tube, MTX Platform and hardware from box.

(B.) Attach MTX Platform to Square Tube

Slide the MTX platform onto the square tube aligning the holes. Find the two big hex head bolts, two

nuts, and four washers. Slide one washer on the bolt and guide through the platform. Place washer

on the other side and secure with a nut. Repeat process on both sides.(Note: If you plan to use the

optional LED Light kit, attach the MTX platform so the holes are facing rearward)

IMPORTANT: Tighten until the side gaps are closed and the connection is tight. The bolt is

only tightened when the gaps are fully closed, which will eliminate the platform from rocking

back and forth.

(C.) Optional: Adding a Trailer Ball

The larger diameter vertical hole in the square tube is for a 5/8 inch shank diameter trailer ball. This

is the smallest size of trailer ball (by design). If you want to install a trailer ball, simply install the MTX

Platform closer to the vehicle to expose the hole.

CAUTION: For safety purposes, you must add the tongue weight of the trailer to the total weight on

hitch calculation explained here. Assume the trailer tongue weight to be at least 10% of trailer weight.

Step 2

(A.) Select Loading Side

The motorcycle can load and unload from either side of the vehicle, depending on which side you

mount the front of the wheelstop to. In this step, you only need to decide which side you prefer. We

recommend mounting the wheel stop to the drivers side as it enables the loading and unloading pro-

cedure to be completed safely off the passenger side of the vehicle. This is optimal when parked on

the side of a road but is completely up to you and your preference.

(B.) Mount Tire Track

Now, on the opposite side of where you selected to put the wheelstop, insert the rear tie down arm

into the slot and lay down the tire track on the platform. align with the two holes. Insert the two bolts

into the tire track and through the holes. Put on the nuts and washers then tighten snugly to minimize

rattling Do not overtighten. NOTE: The tracks look different but procedure is the same.

m3, Max or Max+ Components (8/21/21) 4

For Max or Max+ carriers remove contents from the Max or Max+ components box.

For m3 carriers remove all remaining parts (after step 1) from box.

For Sport carriers proceed to step 2 on page 6.

(C.) Prepare Wheelstop for Tire SIze

Place the front tie down arm in the slot of the platform, making sure the curved section is facing out-

ward. Lay down the two parts of the wheelstop (front stop & back stop) onto the platform, align the

holes to the desired placement, then insert two bolts. Put on the nuts and washers then hand tighten

only for now (this is to ensure alignment of loading ramp in Step 4). Then put short bolt with the lock-

washer through the back stop and tire track into the threaded hole on the platform tube.

(NOTE: Layout is adjustable per your tire’s size, measure your tire and place to size for optimal t).

Step 2

(A.) Select Loading Side

The motorcycle can load and unload from either side of the vehicle, depending on which side you

mount the front of the wheelstop to. In this step, you only need to decide which side you prefer. We

recommend mounting the wheel stop to the drivers side as it enables the loading and unloading pro-

cedure to be completed safely off the passenger side of the vehicle. This is optimal when parked on

the side of a road but is completely up to you and your preference.

Attaching Sport Components to MTX Platform

Sport Components (8/21/21) 6

This step is for Sport carriers only. To begin, remove all remaining parts (after step 1) from box.

For m3, Max or Max+ carriers, proceed to step 3 & 4 on page 8.

(C.) Mount Tire Track

The tire track sits on top of the wheelstop. There are two positions based on your motorcycle’s

length. Align the tire track with desired holes.

Insert the rear tie down arm into the back slot in the MTX platform. Using two medium bolts and two

nuts tighten snugly to minimize rattling - Do not overtighten.

Then put the short bolt with the lockwasher through the tire track and wheelstop into the threaded

hole on the platform tube.

(B.) Mount Wheelstop

Place the front tie down arm in the slot of the platform, making sure the curved section if facing out-

ward. Lay down the the wheelstop onto the platform and align with the holes then insert two bolts to

the desired placement (there are three positions dependant on your motorcycle length). Put on the

nuts and hand tighten only for now (this is to ensure alignment of loading ramp in Step 4).

Step 3 & 4

(A.) Mount the Ramp Keeper Tab

First make sure the angled ap of the tab is pointing toward the back end of the tire track, then place

the ramp tab in line with the linch pin receiver post on the front tie down arm. Secure with a bolt,

washer and nut. Tighten in place.

Attaching Ramp to MTX Platform

(B.) Stow the Loading Ramp

To stow the loading ramp for transport, place it next to the tire track on top of the ramp keeper tab and

the linch pin receiver post.

(C.) Secure with Linchpin and Lanyard

To secure the loading ramp, tether the lanyard to the loading ramp with the supplied key ring, insert

linch pin through the receiver post and then fold down the snap ring.

(D.) Secure Wheelstop & Tighten

Now, tighten the nuts that you previously hand tightened onto the two bolts under the front

wheelstop. Tighten all nuts and bolts snugly to minimize rattling - Do not over tighten.

NOTE: Max+ parts shown but procedure is the same for Max & m3.
