OWNER'S MANUAL
INSPECTION
This is the safety alert symbol used for the INSPECTION section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury.
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the hydraulic wheel dolly, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or
missing parts. Any wheel dolly which appears to be damaged in any way, found to be badly worn or operated abnormally MUST BE REMOVED
FROM SERVICE. If the wheel dolly is accidentally subjected to an abnormal load or shock, it must be inspected by a manufacturer's
authorized repair facility immediately. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the wheel dolly be made by a manufacturer's authorized
repair facility and that any defective parts, decals, or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer's specified parts. A list of authorized repair
facilities is available from the manufacturer.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury.
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1.
Secure the swivel caster (#16) to the flange at the bottom of the slide weldment (#23) with the bolts (#14) and nuts (#24). Insert the slide
weldment through the bottom of the square receiver in the base upright assembly (#2).
2.
Slide the bearing (#20) on the Acme rod (#22). Secure the crank handle (#18) on the Acme rod (#22) by aligning the holes in both and
tightening the bolt (#19) and locking nut (#21). Feed the Acme rod (#22) through the top of the square receiver of the base upright
assembly (#2) and thread it in the slide weldment (#23).
3.
Install the base frame assembly (#1) in the base upright assembly (#2) so the mounting holes line up and secure both assemblies
together using the bolts (#10), washers (#11) and nuts (#12).
4.
Secure the swivel caster wheels (#15) to the base frame assembly (#1) with the bolts (#14) and spring washers (#13).
5.
Install the bottle jack (#3) in the base upright assembly (#2) as shown in the exploded view drawing in this manual.
6.
Secure the lifting straps (#6) to the rotating fingers of the base frame assembly (#1) with the bolts (#7) and nuts (#8). Secure the opposite
ends of the lifting straps (#6) to the lift bridge of the base upright assembly (#2) with the same hardware. It may be necessary to pump
the jack up to align the holes in the straps with holes in the base frame assembly and base upright assembly.
7.
Secure a link of the chain (#9) in one of the slots in the base upright assembly (#2). Install the handle caps (#4) on the ends of the base
upright assembly grab handles.
8.
Sometimes air gets trapped in the hydraulic bottle jack causing the jack ram to extend in sporadic increments instead of one
smooth extension.
PURGING AIR FROM THE MANUAL PUMP SYSTEM
a.
Open the release valve by engaging the handle (#5) with the valve on the bottle jack (#3). The valve is closed when rotated clockwise
(to the right) all the way until it stops. Rotate the valve counterclockwise two full rotations from its closed position.
b.
Now install the handle (#5) in the pump linkage of the bottle jack (#3) and pump the jack ten full strokes.
c.
Close the release valve by turning it in a clockwise direction until tight.
d.
Repeat steps "a" through "d" until all air is purged from system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury.
1.
A hydraulic bottle jack is used on the wheel dolly. Become familiar with the operation of the bottle jack. The jack's release valve must be
turned in a clockwise direction until tight before the jack can be pumped. Turning the release valve very slowly in a counterclockwise
direction lowers the load in a safe controlled manner. There should never be a reason to turn the release valve in a counterclockwise
direction more than two full turns.
2.
Bottle jacks are used to lift tire and wheel combinations that are supported by the lift arms. Raise the vehicle with a jack so the wheels to
be removed clear the ground. Support the vehicle with jack stands. Make sure vehicle is properly blocked. It may be necessary to loosen
the lug nuts before lifting.
3.
This dolly is equipped with a screw adjustable rear caster that is manually raised or lowered to match the spindle angle.
4.
After the vehicle is raised and correctly blocked, push the wheel dolly in towards the tire/wheel combination to be lifted. The wheel dolly
lift arms should straddle the tire, and the sidewall of the tire should be as close as possible to the vertical portion of the lift member. Raise
the lift arms to meet the tire(s) and adjust the lift arm angles so the arms are in full contact with the tire(s).
5.
Secure the tire/wheel combination to the dolly with the safety restraint chain provided. Wrap the chain around the tire and secure the
chain hook or chain loop to the dolly. Remove the lug nuts.
6.
Continue to lift the tire/wheel combination until the entire weight is supported by the dolly lift arms. Back the dolly away to remove the
tire/wheel combination.
7.
When mounting wheels, load the wheels on the dolly and secure them to the dolly with the chain. Maneuver the dolly into alignment
with the axle.
