WARNING! Ensure Health & Safety, local authority, and general workshop
practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
Familiarise yourself with this product’s application and limitations, as well
as the specific warnings below relating to their use.
Ensure the Wheel Skates are in sound condition and good working order. Take
action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts.
Use genuine parts only. The use of improper parts may be dangerous and will
invalidate the warranty.
Wheel Skates should only be used in suitable, well lit areas.
Wheel Skates must be used in pairs at either the front or rear of the vehicle.
They must never be used diagonally.
Keep general area clean and tidy and free from obstructions.
Use Wheel Skates on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid
tarmacadam as Wheel Skates may sink in.
Maintain the Wheel Skates in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
Ensure the Wheel Skates are free to move and that there are no obstructions in
the area of use.
When not in use store Wheel Skates in a safe, dry, childproof area.
▲ DANGER: Use the Wheel Skates for manoeuvring or positioning of vehicles in
interior situations. They are not designed for use outdoors.
DO NOT start or drive the vehicle whilst it is raised on wheel skates.
DO NOT use the Wheel Skates for purposes other than that for which they are
intended.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the Wheel Skates.
DO NOT leave the vehicle unattended whilst it is raised on the Wheel Skates.
DO NOT operate the Wheel Skates when you are tyred or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
DO NOT get the Wheel Skates wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where
there is condensation.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the Wheel Skates. Remember that the front
of a vehicle is usually heavier than the rear.
DO NOT use the Wheel Skates to lift or support a vehicle in order to do work
underneath it.
Maintain correct balance and footing when moving vehicle. Ensure the floor is
not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Ensure there are no obstructions beneath the vehicle when it is to be lowered.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the Wheel Skates
are in use.
IMPORTANT – We recommend that at least 2 persons are involved in
manoeuvring the vehicle when supported on wheel skates. The vehicle’s weight
provides a large amount of inertia which has to be overcome to get the vehicle
moving and more importantly, stopped.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions covered in this manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be
understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be applied by the operator.

PREPARATION
5.1. Ensure that the area where the vehicle is to be moved is clear of any

or cause damage to the floor surface, such as floor mounted power and data
points, room divider tracks, drainage features etc.
5.1.2. Enlist sufficient manpower to move the vehicle safely. DO NOT attempt
to move the vehicle into an area where there is insufficient space to
manoeuvre the vehicle safely.
5.1.3. Wheel Skates must be used as a pair. Attach to the front wheels to
swing the front of the vehicle. DO NOT release the hand-brake or remove wheel
chocks until both Skates are attached. Re-engage hand-brake or chock the
wheels immediately after any movement has been made. Attach to rear wheels to
swing the rear of the vehicle (ideally front wheels should be straight). If it
is intended to use two pairs of skates to move a vehicle in one movement,
great care should be exercised in order to avoid injury to persons or
property.
Refer to Section 1 before using the wheel skate.
OPERATION

tyre is just lifted off the ground.
6.1.4. 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/floor is level the vehicle should remain stable (read safety
precautions in Section 1).
6.2. MOVING THE VEHICLE
6.2.1. 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
