Never operate the carrier’s slide-out function without the Safety Cable [R] fully secured. Failure to follow proper
procedures may result in bodily injury and property damage.
WARNING:
Attach the carabiner to the Safety Cable (if not already
pre-installed). From underneath the carrier, connect the
carabiner end of the Safety Cable to the “1st Position”
hole in the frame of the TwinTube [A].
NOTE: The Safety Cable can be secured in two
positions.SecuretheSafetyCabletotherstposition.

are slid all the way back against the rubber bummers and then fully secure all Hat Brackets and hardware.
NOTE: Users wanting less clearance between the tow vehicle and carrier should position the Hat Brackets closer to the
vehicle on the Slide Tubes.
NOTE: Users wanting more clearance between the tow vehicle and carrier should position the Hat Brackets further away
from the vehicle on the Slide Tubes.
NOTE: Be sure to allow room for the Hand-Tighten Hitch Pin [D] to turn and operate as required.
DO NOT ALLOW HAT BRACKETS TO OVERLAP THE 3.5” WARNING LABEL LOCATED ON
ON THE SLIDE TUBE. Failure to do so will permit over-extension of the safety cable allowing the
capsule to slide off and cause damage or personal injury.

Lighting
Connect the 4-at wire plug to vehicle trailer lighting.
Check running lights, brake lights, and turn signals
before operation. Check the wire harness for good
connections and for possible fraying or wearing of
insulation if a light signal is not functioning. Check lights
before each use.
Locking Up GearSpace
Two locking pins are included for locking down the GearSpace
capsule. The locking pin holes are located on both sides of the
carrier where the lids close over the capsule base.
Insert the Locking Pin through the bottom of the carrier (TIP:AstheLockingPinisatightt,
it is recommended to insert the pin through the bottom of the carrier and then close the lids,
one at a time, over the Pins).
Always lock down capsule for transit with a minimum of one lock (the second pin hole
facing the vehicle’s rear when on hitch is optional).

capability or higher. Before using this product, consult your vehicle and hitch receiver
owner manual(s) for details on your tow and tongue weight parameters. Be sure that they
arecompatiblewithGearSpace’sweightspecications.Neverexceedvehicleorhitch
weight limits.
GearSpace Weight and Load Parameters
The GearSpace weighs 140 lbs unloaded. To determine your available load weight
in accordance with your vehicle and hitch receiver’s tongue weight rating, subtract
GearSpace’s140lbsfromyouridentiedtongueweightrating.Thedifferencerepresents
your vehicle and hitch receiver’s available load weight.
The GearSpace is rated for up to 300 lbs of cargo weight carrying capacity for a
combined weight of 440 lbs when fully weight loaded. Combined weight may increase
with accessories added.
Load weight limit is always subordinate to the maximum load recommended by
the manufacturer of the vehicle itself and/or hitch. It is always the lower maximum
recommended load that applies.
Sliding Out GearSpace Cargo Carrier & Clearance Adjustability
To telescope the GearSpace, remove the Hand Tighten Silent Hitch Pin® from the Slide Tube’s Safety pin hole. Verify that
the Safety Cable is secured and then slide the frame to the rear. When adjusting the position of capsule clamps for added
clearance needs, be sure to adhere to NO USE AREA distance of 3.5 inches rearward from Spine’s vertical plate along
the frame tubes.
Alwayscheckandconrmallboltsandconnectionsaretightandfullysecurebeforeeachtransit.AlwaysconrmtheGearSpace
Lid is closed and the Rubber Latch is fully secured over the Pivoting Lid of the carrier. Failure to follow proper installation and
equipment checks before transit may result in damage to carrier, damage to property, bodily injury or death.

Operating GearSpace Lids
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS use handles located on top of
each lid when opening and closing lids. Failure to do so
causes lids to slam from weight force and unnecessary
wear and tear.
