LOADING

Properly attach the loading ramps as per this manual’s instructions.
The motorcycle must be loaded only on the center of the loading ramp. The

outer wings, or side steps, are only to support your feet. Do not use side steps
for vehicle loading.

Ensure the wheel chock on the rail is in the open position (pg. 11).

LOADING

RAMPS

How to use the ramps on your Kendon Dual Ride-Up SRL Trailer:
Insert the ramp hooks as shown below between the tubular rails on the

rear folding section of the trailer. There are two hooks on the ramp that
must line up with the red “Insert Ramp Hook” stic kers on the rear section.

This example might make it easier to understand: if the ramp hook was a spoon,
it should be positioned as if you were using it to eat soup, rather than t o pour
soup out.

Please contact us directly at 714-630-7144 or [e-mail] if you have

any questions about ramp use or attachment.

Kendon Dual Ride-Up SRL Trailer Owner’s Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a Kendon Stand-Up™ Dual R ail Ride-Up
Motorcycle Trailer with SRL. Safety is our number one concern. Before using
this product, please take the time to completely read these specific Dual Ride-Up
trailer instructions and familiarize yourself t horoughly with the parts on your new
Kendon Dual Ride-Up SRL Trailer. In addition to these instructions, be sure

to read and follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual for a Kendon
Stand-Up™ Trailer.

Exactly what is SRL? The acronym is short for “Suspension Reactive Loading,”
or more simply put, it eliminates the apex created by a traditional ramp angle and
the bed of the trailer when loading and unloading. T he i ndependent torsion
suspension on the Kendon trailer works with the l oading ramp to eliminate the
apex and creates a smooth parallel surface for loading and unloading. This
means that there is a much lower angle when loading/unloading a bike and
virtually no point to hit the frame of the bike. The suspension compresses and
lowers the bed of the trailer while loading a motorcycle and raises it back up to
towing height after the bike is fully loaded ont o the trailer.

Read and understand all warnings and warning labels on the trailer bef ore use.
Do not remove any warning labels or warning tags except for the warning label
on the coupler that must be removed before use.

Towing any trailer, proper loading, unloading and securing of the load is
serious business with inherent risks. S er ious Injury, Death and/or property
damage can result to operator and/or others through improper use of this
product.

If you have any questions or need additional help or instructions, please see your
local Kendon dealer or contact us directly at 714-630-7144 or
[e-mail].
