DANGER
Please take the time to read and understand these few simple instructions before use and your new ramps will give you years of safe and dependable service. Be sure to
a
lways use safety cables when loading and unloading equipment. Make sure to read both the safety guide supplied with our ramps along with the owner’s manual for the
particular type of equipment being loaded. After reading our safety guide, if you have any further questions, please call us at (800) 733-5720.
The tailgate, the bed of the utility trailer or truck
MUST NOT EXCEED 33 inches in height
from the ground for 6 foot ramps and not over
36 inches for 7 foot ramps. Any application
above the maximum height will cause the ramps
to be too steep and could cause serious injury or
e
ven death. If you have an application that
exceeds these height restrictions, please contact
your dealer for information on other Five Star
products that may meet your specific needs.
Familiarize yourself with your equipment’s clutch, brake, gears, and
other controls. NOW, SLOWLY AND SMOOTHLY DRIVE STRAIGHT UP THE
RAMPS
, RAPID AND JERKY ACCELERATION MAY RESULT IN FRONT END
REAR-UP. AVOID TURNS OR RIDING ON THE RAMP EDGES, WHICH COULD
CAUSE THE RAMP TO FLIP SIDEWAYS
, DUMPING YOU AND THE EQUIPMENT
ONTO THE GROUND AND POSSIBLY
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR
EVEN DEATH.
For most equipment you will drive up the ramps and back down; for some
rear engine equipment it will be necessary to back up the ramps to avoid
a front end rear-up.
ALWAYS consult your equipment owners manual for specifications
regarding ramp usage for loading/unloading.

The truck or tow vehicle should be in
gear/park with the emergency brake firmly
applied with engine shut off. It is recom-
mended that you chock the wheels. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD/UNLOAD
EQUIPMENT ON SLOPING OR SOFT
TERRAIN.
When placing the ramps in position, make sure
they line up with the wheel track of the equip-
ment being loaded. The upper ends of the ramps
should be set tight against the lowered tailgate,
utility trailer bed or truck bed if tailgate has been
removed. The lower end of the ramps must be
on firm, level ground.
Attach the safety cables or safety straps to the
b
umper or frame of the truck or trailer. The
cables and safety straps are designed to keep the ramps in place until the
weight of the equipment you are loading/unloading is on the ramps. THE
CABLES AND SAFETY STRAPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WITH-
STAND THE TORQUE OF THE WHEELS OF THE EQUIPMENT
YOU ARE LOADING/UNLOADING. We recommend that you drill two
convenient holes for the safety cables or safety straps. The cables or safety
straps must be attached in a straight forward position. The cables or safety
straps should be tight enough to prevent the ramps from sliding off the end of
your vehicle, but not so tight that the added weight of your equip-
continued...
ment will not stretch the cable or safety
strap when the vehicles springs sag. It
may become necessary for you to adjust
the length of the cables or safety straps
to fit your particular truck or trailer. It is
very important for the cables or safety
straps to be properly adjusted and fre-
q
uently inspected for wear.

oll or drive the equipment to be loaded to the foot of the ramps; pow-
ered equipment should be driven up and backed down; carts or hand
equipment should be pulled up and lowered down. Look from all sides
to be sure that the ramps are the right distance apart and are lined up
straight with the front and rear wheels of the equipment. It is very impor-
tant that the weight of the equipment is evenly distributed on the ramps.
The load capacity of each ramp is based on
a
n even distribution of weight. Placing most
or all of the equipment’s weight on one
s
ide or ramp would be considered MIS-
U

INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

Riding L awnmower A luminum Ramp Safety Guide
Five Starís Aluminum Ramps are designed to safely load, ATV ís and other type of small equipment onto the back of standard size pick-up trucks and/or small utility trailers.
Please take the time to read and understand these few simple instructions before use and your new ramps will give you years of safe and dependable service. Be sure to
always use safety straps when loading and unloading equipment. Make sure to read both the safety guide supplied with our ramps along with the owner’s manual for the
particular type of equipment being loaded. After reading our safety guide, if you have any further questions, please call us at (800) 733-5720.
The tailgate, the bed of the utility trailer or
truck MUST NOT EXCEED 33 inches in
height from the ground for 6 foot ramps and
not over 36 inches for 7 foot ramps . Any
application above the maximum height will
cause the ramps to be too steep and could
cause serious injury or even death. If you have
an application that exceeds these height
restrictions, please contact your dealer for information on other Five Star
products that may meet your specific needs.
Raise all mower decks on lawn tractors to their full height and disengage
any blades or rotating parts. Familiarize yourself with your equipmentís

For most equipment you will drive up the ramps and back down; for some
rear engine equipment it will be necessary to back up the ramps to avoid
a front end rear-up.
ALWAYS consult your equipment owner’s manual for specifications
regarding ramp usage for loading/unloading.

The truck or tow vehicle should be in
gear/park with the emergency brake firmly
applied with engine shut off. It is recom-
mended that you chock the wheels. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD/UNLOAD
EQUIPMENT ON SLOPING OR SOFT
TERRAIN.
Attach the safety cables or safety straps to the
bumper or frame of the truck or trailer. The
cables and safety straps are designed to keep the
ramps in place until the weight of the equipment
you are loading/unloading is on the ramps.
THE CABLES AND SAFETY STRAPS
ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND
THE TORQUE OF THE WHEELS OF
THE EQUIPMENT YOU ARE LOAD-
ING/UNLOADING.
We recommend that you drill two convenient
holes for the safety cables or safety straps. The
cables or safety straps must be attached in a
straight forward position. The cables or safety
straps should be tight enough to prevent the ramps from sliding off the end of
your vehicle, but not so tight that the added weight of your equipment will not
stretch the cable or safety straps when the vehicle’s springs sag. It may

ered equipment should be driven up and backed down; carts or hand
equipment should be pulled up and lowered down. Look from all sides
to be sure that the ramps are the right distance apart and are lined up
straight with the front and rear wheels of the equipment. It is very impor-
tant that the weight of the equipment is evenly distributed on the ramps.
