USING THE PRODUCT
Apply a load to the dolly. Center the load on
the lengthwise axis of the dolly. The dolly should
contact the retention plate. Securing the load to
the dolly, for example with ratchet straps, is
strongly recommended.
The load retention plate can be lowered to
allow the dolly to accommodate longer loads. To
lower the plate, loosen (don't remove) the bolts.
Then side the plate to the right and then down
and to the left. The bolts will then be at the tops of
the slots (circled). Tighten the bolts. Loads that
are longer than the dolly must be strapped to the
frame.
Loads applied to the dolly should not cause the dolly to tilt to either side. The dolly should not tilt/tip
forward or backward while loaded. Move the dolly slowly and carefully either by manually pushing the
dolly, or by attaching the nylon strap to a tow vehicle. The dolly does not have brakes! It cannot stop
quickly but will continue to roll forward after motive force is discontinued. For instance, if a
powered vehicle is used to tow the dolly, brake slowly and gradually because the dolly will continue to
roll forward. The dolly might run into the back of the vehicle is it stops suddenly.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION (THE "RECORD")
After the unit is assembled and/or installed, make a detailed record of its condition. Include
observations about all features: retention plate, welds, frame elements, especially features in contact
with the ground, fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) and wheels. Thoroughly photograph the unit from
multiple angles so that all features are clearly imaged. Photograph all labels applied to the product.
Describe where each label is located. Collect all photographs and writings into a single file. This file is a
record of the product in satisfactory condition.
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Compare inspection results to the RECORD. Do not continue to use the product unless every
component is in

do not constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all
affected areas as soon as damage occurs. Contact
parts. Contact information is provided on the cover page of this manual.
Inspect the following at least once per month:
1. Surfaces – Check all surfaces of the product for dirt or other matter, especially fluids. Clean the
surfaces of the stand.
2. Hardware, fasteners – Examine hardware & fasteners (anchor bolts and sleeves, bolts, nuts, pins,
& clips). Replace damaged/worn hardware.
3. Examine the frame for wear, breaks, corrosion/rust, metal fatigue, and other forms of damage (e.g.
impact damage).
4. Labels– Replace labels that are damaged or not easily readable from a reasonable distance.
5. Overall structure – Examine the whole structure for rusting or metal erosion, rot, thinned regions. In
particular, examine pivot points, and ground-contacting elements. If rusting is purely superficial,
remove the rust/corrosion. Clean the affected area and apply touchup paint. If rusting, rot, or
thinning has weakened the material, contact
