Transport mode - Systems overview
Safe operation in Transport mode requires an understanding of:
• Loading the deck
• Control-tilt deck operation
• Lateral stabilization - Ratchet straps
• Securing tailgate/step
• Removal of rack and tent pod assembly
Loading the deck:
The GO offers several ways to load the deck. You can load bikes and boats without the use of
the control-tilt feature, or you can use the control-tilt feature to drive motorcycles, ATVs,
ride-on mowers and more on board. To load bikes and boats, be sure the GO is either secured
to your tow vehicle hitch, or use the rear stabilizer jacks to prevent the GO from tipping back
as you load. Carefully load and secure boats and bikes and make sure rack and tent pod
assembly are lowered and secured as well as the tailgate. For loading vehicles using the
control-tilt feature, see below. You can also choose to use ramps to use larger items. Follow
the ramp manufacturers instructions for proper use.
Control-tilt deck operation:
To load a motorcycle, ATV, ride-on mower or more - GO has built-in loading ramp capability.
Be sure the vehicle to load does not exceed 810 lbs. and will t on the 7’ long x 4’ wide x 4’
high* deck.
1. Raise the rack and tent pod assembly up to it’s full maximum height. Be careful not to over
extend. Stop raising when you see the indicator mark on lift tube.
2. Remove the tailgate.
3. Pull the control-tilt set pin and set aside.
4. Lift up on the front of the GO frame tubing, underneath the storage box
5. Once fully raised, push or ride on the vehicle you are loading, the deck will begin to drop
back down once the weight is past the axle.
6. When deck returns to level, replace control-tilt set pin.
7. Secure your vehicle load with appropriate straps, using the
multiple tie-down location options.
8. Lower the rack and tent pod assembly on to the locator pins and
9. secure the rack and tent pod assembly with the 4 ring grip pins.
* To increase available deck height, SylvanSport offers a 4.5” deck height extension kit which
can be purchased on the SylvanSport website.
Lateral stabilization - Ratchet straps:
To provide lateral stabilization when in Transport mode, use the four ratchet straps. Attach
ratchet straps to the locations shown in the Transport mode system diagram. Once
connected, tighten all four straps to create a cross-brace. Do not over-tighten.
