OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Congratulations in buying SportCarrier I™ from Blue Ox! SportCarrier I is the best carrier on the
market today. SportCarrier I has a whopping 1000 lbs. of carrying capacity, and can at-tow up to
5000 lbs. SportCarrier I is safe, durable, easy to use and will give you many years of service.
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION:
- Be sure to read the "Lift & Carrier Compatibility Information" included in this manual package to determine
whether SportCarrier I is applicable to the motorhome
chassis and to estimate how much weight will be added
to the rear axle of the motorhome before installation.
- Never exceed the weight rating of the rear axle or tire
load ratings of the RV. Doing so will cause dangerous
driving conditions, and possible damage to the RV!

slide the extension into the hold up bracket. Using one
1/2" x 2 5/8" pin (Item 12) and one clip assembly (Item

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Slowly ride the motorcycle or golf cart up the ramps
making sure the tires are centered on the ramps.
Acceleration must be slow and steady, NEVER over
accelerate!
Secure the cargo with as many tie down straps as
needed. Usually four tie down straps are sufcient.
Blue Ox recommends using back tire stops for motor-
cycles, so the tire does not slide side to side.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If loading a motorcycle onto the deck, Blue Ox
has a black powder coated wheel chock available
(SC9001) for supporting the front tire.
UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS
To unload, be sure ramps are centered and fastened
in place. Then slowly back down using the brake as
necessary to control the speed.
SAFETY NOTES
Be aware that the deck of the carrier rotates up and
can be pinned in that position. Never stand in the
path of the deck. The deck is heavy and could cause
injury. Be sure both pins are used before letting go of
the deck. Use two people if necessary to lower and
lift the deck.
Insure that hands and feet are away from where the
deck pivots when lowering the deck of SportCarrier I.
Wiping SportCarrier I™ down periodically
will help prevent dust and dirt from building up.
