Parkit360 Force Electric Trailer Dolly

Product Information: 5K & 10K MANUAL VERSION 4.7

The Force Dolly is a motorized dolly designed to move trailers weighing up to 5,000 or 10,000 pounds. It comes with a handle, two hitch balls, a tightening bar, a U1 battery kit with power cable, a thrust washer, and a receiver tube disc. The dolly features a smart brake, intelligent speed control, freewheel knob, and circuit breakers to prevent damage to the motor and brake. Optional parts include an EZ connect adapter, telescopic frame adapter, ball mount adapter, pintle hitch adapter, Atwood hitch adapter, battery box kit, and 80 battery cable.

Product Usage Instructions:

Danger: Before using the dolly, read the manual carefully to avoid damage to your trailer or personal injury.

Assembly:

1. Insert the handle into the dolly and tighten both Allen screws to secure it.
2. Plug the handle cable into the port on the dolly’s module.
3. Install both spring clips onto the handle for easy access to the tightening bar.

Features:

• Smart brake: The 7-way power plug controls the trailer’s electric or surge brakes.
• Intelligent speed control: Toggle between high and low speed. The motor starts and stops gradually for a smoother parking experience.
• Freewheel knob: Engages/disengages the motor to switch between drive and neutral.

Module Features:

• Handle plug: Plug in and twist locking cap over connection. Unplug cable while charging the battery.
• Circuit breakers: By default, the brake button protrudes more than the motor. Prevents motor and smart brake from overheating. If a breaker trips, the reset button will extend up to 1/2 from the panel. Allow 30 seconds for the system to cool down, then press reset.
• Battery charger: To charge the U1 battery, ensure that the dolly is on by plugging in the battery cable. Connect the charger cable to the dolly, then plug the opposite end into a nearby wall outlet. The battery charger display on the right side of the dolly will illuminate. Disconnect the charger after an overnight charge to extend battery life.
• ISC Control: While parking your trailer, switch between high or low speed anytime by flipping the toggle switch. Motor speed starts and stops gradually for better traction and a smoother parking experience.
• Volt meter: Displays the battery voltage while the dolly is in use. Fully charged batteries rest between 12.6 to 13V.
• Battery charger display: While charging, this screen displays the charging voltage and amperage.

Freewheel Knob: Switching Gears

• Freewheel/spool: Neutral. Move the dolly without power while it is not under load. Turn the knob in the direction of the Freespool arrow until it stops. Freely move the dolly to and from the trailer in this mode. This mode is intended for transportation only.
• Drive: Engage the motor to connect to the trailer and park with power. Ensure the dolly is in parking position underneath the trailer hitch. Turn the knob in the direction of the Engaged arrow until it stops and clicks into position. Rock the dolly back and forth to ensure the motor is engaged. When pushed manually in this mode, the dolly will only move an inch forwards or backwards before stopping.
