Operating Instructions
- Lift the vehicle high enough to roll the dollies underneath. Place one dolly on each side of the vehicle body under the frame pinch weld.
- Remove the lock pin, raise the saddle to the necessary height, re-insert the lock pin, and secure it with the loop wire lock.
- Align the saddle opening with the vehicle's pinch weld.

- Lock the casters by pressing all six caster locks into the ON position.
