1. Release the foot pedal by depressing it and disengaging the Pedal Lock.
2. With the lever in the down position,
roll the dolly in front of the tyre,
spreading the arms apart, then push
the dolly forward so that the rollers
are on either side of tyre.
3. Ensure the jack is parallel to the sidewall of the tyre. Leave clearance
between the tyre wall and the jack
frame.
4. Move the lever to the UP position,
then pump the foot pedal until the
tyre is just lifted off the ground.
5. Always use the brakes on each of the
front swivelling castors to prevent the
vehicle moving unintentionally once
supported clear of the ground.
6. Repeat the process with the other
tyres and jacks (if purchased). Use
two jacks to move the front or back
of the vehicle. Use four jacks for
complete mobility.
7. To move the front or back of the car you will require two jacks. To position the
whole car and move it around you will require four jacks.
WARNING! Be ready for any movement the vehicle may make when the
other tyre(s) come off the ground.
8. Ensure that you have sufficient assistance and manpower to safely guide and
control the vehicle.
Repeat “Lifting the Tyre” for the other tyre(s). Use only in pairs.
WARNING! Stay clear of any sloping areas or entry ramps, however shallow
they may appear. Sufficient space should be allowed between the side of
the vehicle and an adjacent wall for the vehicle to be withdrawn from its
location in a sideways manner.
LOWERING THE TYRE
1. Move the lever to the DOWN position, then depress and release the foot pedal.
2. The beams of the jack should move apart under the weight of the vehicle and the
jack may be removed when the rollers are no longer bearing any weight.
3. Once tyre is on the ground, spread the arms and remove the dolly. Push the arms
together, then depress the foot pedal all the way and secure with the pedal lock.
