IMPORTANT: Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your SportCarrier™
II. Do not substitute homemade or nontypical parts. If parts are lost or in need of
replacement, for your safety and the preservation of your SportCarrier II , order
replacement parts through your nearest Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS EQUIPMENT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING
OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
Congratulations in buying SportCarrier™ II from Blue Ox! SportCarrier II is the best carrier on the
market today. SportCarrier II has a whopping 1000 lbs. of carrying capacity. SportCarrier II 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 II is applicable
onto the motorhome chassis.
- 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!
-The original hitch of the coach needs to be replaced with the SC9000 or a fabricated 3 receiver
hitch. With the two outside receivers having a 43
inch center to center spacing.
1. Measure the deck height when deck is level, this
will give you an idea which way the deck supports
should be fl ipped. If the 3 receiver hitch is high,
the deck supports will have to be fl ipped down.
Pin and clip the two deck support weldments into
the 3 receiver hitch with 5/8" x 3" eff. hitch pins.
Bolt the connector inserts into deck supports with
3/4-10 x 4" hex cap screws, and nylock nuts, making sure to use the correct holes (Fig. D).
2. Pin and clip the deck to the tube connectors with
two 5/8" x 3" hitch pins (Fig. D). This procedure
will take two to three people to complete.
3. Bolt the tire stop to either side of the deck with four
3/8-16 x 1 1/4" carriage head bolts, two washer
fl ats, lockwashers, and hex nuts (Fig. E).
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 suffi cient.
Blue Ox recommends using back tire stops for motor-
cycles, so the tire does not slide side to side.
CAUTION: Insure there is enough clearance between
the cargo and the rear of the fi fth wheel. Not doing so
could damage the cargo and the rear of the fi fth wheel
when traveling through dips and bumps.
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.

tional SC9023 ramps. The SC1000 sport ramp is also
an available option for the SC2101 SportCarrier II. The
SC1000 is a single ramp.
