Assembly Instructions

CAUTION:

2. Installing Front Swivel Casters

Models R2, R6,
R8, R10, R14

Attach front swivel casters as shown. While
tightening lock nuts, grip bearing cap with chan­nel lock pliers or pipe wrench to prevent thread­ed stem from turning. Tighten locks nuts firmly
but not excessively tight. Check lock nut tight­ness on casters stems periodically.

Model R12

Carefully insert caster stem into receptor tube
and line up caster stem holes with the recep­tor tube holes. Stem should fit very snugly in
receptor tube. (If stem is difficult to insert into
tube: Occasionally, a little excess paint or
metal shavings get in the receptor tube. If so,
take a fine grain sandpaper and ream it out a
little. Reinsert caster stem and clevis pins.

Operating Your RocknRoller® Multi-Cart®

Multi-Carts instantly transform into any of 8 different configurations: 1. short furniture dolly, 2. long-nose luggage cart 3. storage/transport, 4. short platform
cart, 5. short hi-stacker, 6. long furniture dolly, 7. long hi-stacker, 8. long platform cart. When using Multi-Cart in extended 4-wheel dolly configuration, dis­tribute load evenly over frame bed when possible, placing the heaviest items over the large rear wheels to make rolling easier. Over rough terrain it is recom­mended to push cart with the large wheels forward. Caution: When loading equipment on a hill or incline, set brake. (Block wheels if load is very

heavy). Caution should be used when moving any load with Multi-Carts or any other dolly.
