iMpoRtant: BefoRe fiRst using the skate, puRge any aiR fRoM the
hydRaulic ciRcuit.
3.1.5. Purging the hydraulic circuit eliminates any air that may have accumulated in the system
during transit, to purge the circuit:
a. open the release valve by turning it (fig.2) anti-clockwise.
b. Pump the pedal up and down 15 to 20 times.
c. turn the release valve clockwise to close the valve.
3.2.
operation.
3.2.1. to fit a skate to a wheel you must first turn the release valve anti-clockwise (fig.2) and
remove the locking pin (fig.3).
3.3.
positioning the skate.
3.3.1. 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. Make sure that both sets of rollers are centred on the
tyre.
3.4.
Raising a wheel.
3.4.1. now close the release valve by turning clockwise (fig.2).
3.4.2. operate the foot pedal lever to commence raising the wheel. (iMpoRtant - allow the
pedal to return through its full travel before 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.3.
3.4.3. raise the second wheel off the ground with the other skate. Be prepared for any
movement the vehicle may make when the second wheel becomes 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).
3.5.
Moving the Vehicle.
3.5.1. ensure that you have sufficient manpower 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allow the skates to be withdrawn sideways.
3.6.
lowering wheels.
3.6.1. remove the locking pin and turn the release valve anti-clockwise to lower the vehicle
until the tyre is on the ground and no longer exerting pressure on the rollers.
3.7.
Removing the skate.
3.7.1. expand the unit sufficiently to clear the tyre and move it away from the wheel.
4.
Maintenance
4.1.
Periodically lubricate the wheels, rollers and the foot pedal lever pivot with oil. lightly grease the four faces of the square section tube.
4.2.
When the skate is not in use, store fully closed with the locking pin in place, this will minimise ram and piston corrosion.
4.3.
Before each use, ensure all components are in good working order. If any suspect item is found, remove skate from service and take
necessary action to remedy the problem.
do not use the skate if you believe it has been subjected to an abnormal or shock load. If in doubt contact your local service
agent.
Important: All other maintenance and repair (including oil change) must only be undertaken by fully qualified personnel. Contact
your local authorised service agent.
4.4.
the oil cylinder is a sealed unit and in principle should not be accessed. to top up the oil, remove oil plug on the ram. the oil level
should be just below the oil plug hole.
WaRning! only a good quality hydraulic jack oil, such as sealey hydRaulic jack oil must be used, do not use brake
fluid. do not overfill as this will render the skate inoperative.
