How to use your TWISTEP
After your TWISTEP is in place and securely fastened to the hitch:
A. Lift T-Handle to release swivel movement of the platform
B. Twist TWISTEP out to position 180 degrees until locating pin snaps back into place.
C. Test it to make sure the placement is ideal for your use.
D. Make sure to twist the Twistep back under the vehicle until the locating pins snaps back into
place when not in use.
E. ALWAYS wash the Twistep after a muddy, snowy, long distance journey to insure the product will
provide the use you expect from such quality. Then use 3-In-One® oil to lubricate the working
parts.
When in USE
 Do not stand or ride on TWISTEP while the vehicle is in motion.
 Ensure the vehicle engine is shut off before/during using TWISTEP.
 To prevent injury, always stow TWISTEP out of the way when not in use.
 Do not use TWISTEP as a platform to carry items while the vehicle is in motion.
 Do not use TWISTEP as a towing device.
 After rotating the TWISTEP into to place to use or store, make sure the locating pin is locked and
in place so the TWISTEP cannot rotate further.
 Do not rotate TWISTEP while someone (or dog) is standing on it.
 Basic safety precautions and close supervision are necessary when TWISTEP is used, especially
when it is used by or near children and pets.
 Do not operate or use TWISTEP when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs,
or medication.
 Use TWISTEP only for its intended use as described in this manual/literature.
 When using TWISTEP do not exceed the tongue weight limit of the hitch on your vehicle. Be sure
to check the actual tongue weight rating of your hitch to determine the maximum load that the
TWISTEP can support. The TWISTEP by itself can support up to 400 pounds, but depending on
the tongue weight limit of your hitch, the actual weight limit could be less.
(For instance, most Class III hitches have a tongue weight limit of 500 pounds, but most Class II hitches have a tongue
weight limit of 300 pounds.)
 Take appropriate safety precautions if weather conditions warrant (e.g. dry the TWISTEP,
remove any ice; be mindful that the TWISTEP may become hot if left out in the sun).
 Do not overreach while using TWISTEP. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
