8 DO NOT start or drive the vehicle whilst it is raised on wheel skates.
8 DO NOT use diagonally.
8 DO NOT use the Wheel Skates for purposes other than which they are intended.
8 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the Wheel Skates.

8 DO NOT get the Wheel Skates wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
8 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the Wheel Skates. Remember that the front of a vehicle is usually heavier than the rear.
8 DO NOT use the Wheel Skates to lift or support a vehicle in order to do work underneath it.
9 Maintain correct balance and footing when moving vehicle. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.

4.1.3. Prior to operation release the foot pedal from the transit hook by depressing the lever slightly
and moving the hook to one side to allow the lever to rise up.
4.1.4. The Wheel Skates should be used as a pair. Attach to the front wheels to swing the front
of the vehicle. ( Do not release the hand brake until both Skates are attached. Re-engage
the handbrake immediately after the movement has been made.) Attach to the back wheels
to swing the back of the vehicle. ( Ideally the front wheels should be straight.) If you intend
to use two pairs of skates to move a vehicle in one movement great care should be exercised in order to avoid injury to persons or
property. Read the safety instructions above.
4.2. OPERATION
4.2.1. To fit a Skate to a wheel you must first disengage the ratchet and lift the locking pin.
4.2.2. Disengage the ratchet lever by moving it as far as it will go to the left.
See fig.2 - A. (FREE)
4.2.3. Lift the locking pin and tab and turn it anticlockwise so that it is no longer engaged in the
lockingpinslot.Seeg.2-B.(FREE).
4.3. POSITIONING THE SKATE.
4.3.1. Take hold of each side of the frame and expand the unit until it is wide enough to slide the rollers either side of the tyre.

together again until each pair of rollers are in contact with it.
4.4. RAISING A WHEEL.
4.4.1. Now engage the ratchet by turning the ratchet lever as far as it will go to the right.
Seeg.3-A.(TORAISE).
4.4.2. Engage the locking pin by turning the tab clockwise until it drops into the slot. Once in the
slot the tab should be turned away from the pedal lever. Seefig.3-B.(TORAISE).

ground.
4.4.4. RaisethesecondwheeloffthegroundwiththeotherSkate.Bepreparedforany movement the
vehicle may make when the second wheel comes clear of the ground. This is particularly
important when using four skates. Providing the ground/floor is level the vehicle should remain
stable. ( Read safety precautions in Section 1.)
4.4.5. MOVING THE VEHICLE
4.4.6. Ensure that you have sufficient assistance to move and control the vehicle. Keep well away
from any sloping areas or entry ramps to the area however shallow they may appear. When
positioning a vehicle in relation to a wall or feature such as a pillar no persons or objects
should be situated between the vehicle and the feature. Sufficient space should be left
between the side of a vehicle and an adjacent wall or feature to allow the Skates to be
withdrawn sideways.
4.5. LOWERING WHEELS
4.5.1. Disengage the ratchet by turning the the ratchet lever to the left. See fig.4 - A (TO LOWER)
4.5.2. Turn the locking pin tab clockwise in its slot so that it is in line with the small ‘U’ shaped
channelatthebottomofthefootpedallever.Seefig.4-B.(TOLOWER)
4.5.3. Operate the foot pedal lever through its full travel to commence lowering in controlled
stages. The last movement of the lever will raise the locking pin (see fig.5 LOWERING) to
allow the unit to open whilst the ratchet lever acts as a stop to lock the unit in the next hole
down. Continue to operate the lever through its full travel, until the tyre is on the ground and no
longer exerting pressure on the rollers.
4.6. REMOVING THE SKATE
4.6.1. Lift the locking pin and tab and turn it anticlockwise until the tab is no longer engaged in the slot. The unit is now free to open.
4.6.2. Expand the unit sufficiently to clear the tyre and move it away from the wheel.
4.7. TO CARRY THE UNIT

with oil as shown in fig.6. Grease the four faces of the square section tube
