Before using the skate for the first time, purge the hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any air, that may have accumulated in the
system during transit, as follows:
1.
open the release valve by turning knob anticlockwise.
2.
Pump the pedal up and down 15 to 20 times.
3.
Turn the release valve clockwise to close the valve.
4.5.
Prior to operation, release the foot pedal from the transit hook by depressing the pedal slightly and moving the hook to one side to
allow the pedal to rise up (fig.1).
4.6.
Wheel Skates must be used as a pair.
4.7.
Attach to the front wheels to swing the front of the vehicle. (DO NOt release the handbrake or remove wheel chocks until both
Skates are attached. Re-engage the handbrake or chock the wheels immediately after the movement has been made.)
4.8.
Attach to the back wheels to swing the back of the vehicle. (Ideally the front wheels should be straight.)

RaISING a Wheel
5.2.1.

commencing the next stroke.) Continue until the tyre is clear of the ground and you are able to insert the locking pin as shown in
fig's 3 & 4.
5.2.2.
Raise the second wheel off the ground with the other Skate. Be prepared for any movement the vehicle may make when the second

MOVING the VehIcle.
5.3.1.
ensure that you have a sufficient amount of people to move and control the vehicle. Keep well away from any sloping areas or entry
ramps to the area, however shallow they may appear.
5.3.2.
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withdrawn sideways.
