INITIAL USE
Setting Up the Quick Lock Fork
Option: Standard Ramp
TIP: It is easier to set up your QLF—if you
give yourself plenty of slack in the strap
.
1.
Right Fork - Push the spring-loaded
locking slide on the right fork of the QLF
to the left until it locks into place. It is
locked when the slide does not return
to the open position on its own. (FIG 7)
To release the slide, lift the drop pin and
allow the slide to return to its original
position.
2.
Place the QLF over/in the nose gear
connection.
3.
Left Fork - Lift the drop pin on the left
fork and rotate the slide until it fits firmly
against the nose gear. (FIG 8) The less slop
and wiggle, the better. Once the slide is
fitting snugly, release the drop pin and
continue twisting until it falls into place to
lock the slide. See FIG 10 and FIG 11.
Setting Up the Wheel Chock
The wheel chock drops into the loading
tray between the two brackets. Line up
the holes on the RGA to the holes on the
bracket in the loading tray and insert the
pin. Make sure both ends of the pin are
clearly visible and pin is fully inserted.
(FIG 12)
First Use
If you are using an Easy Load
or Lazy Susan configuration:
the tug comes from the
factory with the tire cradle
in a loaded position. Unlock
the hook and then physically
pull the locking hook back
to release the cradle before
physically moving the ramp
to the loading position. Note:
Before each use, double-
check your loading tray.
Repeat the step of manually
lowering the ramp if needed.
