1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
3.1. Preparation.
3.1.1. Ensure that the area where the vehicle is to be moved is clear of any obstructions. The floor surface should be smooth and
level. Take note of any features in the floor that may catch the skate wheels such as floor mounted power and data points, room divider
tracks, drainage features, or damage to the floor surface.
3.1.2 Enlist sufficient manpower to move the vehicle safely. Do not attempt to move the vehicle into an area where
there is insufficient space for persons to manoeuvre the vehicle safely.
3.1.3 Prior to operation release the foot pedal from the transit hook by depressing the lever slightly
and moving the hook to one side to allow the lever to rise up.
3.1.4. The Wheel Skates should be used as a pair. Attach to the front wheels to swing the front of
the vehicle. ( Do not release the hand brake until both Skates are attached. Re-engage the
handbrake immediately the movement has been made.) Attach to the back wheels to swing
the back of the vehicle. ( Ideally the front wheels should be straight.) If you intend 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. Read the safety instructions above.
3.2 Operation.
3.2.1. To fit a Skate to a wheel you must first disengage the ratchet and lift the locking pin.
3.2.2 Disengage the ratchet lever by moving it as far as it will go to the left. See fig.2 - A. (FREE)
3.2.3 Lift the locking pin and tab and turn it anticlockwise so that it is no longer engaged in the
slot. See fig.2 - B.(FREE)
WS570 - 3 - 230702
Sealey Wheel Skates are intended to be used for the manouvering of a vehicle in confined spaces such as body shops, garages and car
showrooms. The Wheel Skates should be used in pairs and attached to either the front or the back wheels in order to swing one end of the
vehicle around. The pair should not be used on one side of the vehicle only or on diagonally opposed wheels. If two pairs are to be used
ensure that you read the safety warnings above. It is essential that the Skates are used on level, solid ground. Do not use the product on
uneven or sloping surfaces as a vehicle raised in such circumstances could make sudden and unpredictable movements resulting in injury to
persons and damage to property.

p WARNING! Ensure health & safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this equipment.
3 Familiarise yourself with this products application and limitations, as well as the specific warnings below relating to their use.

Use genuine parts only. The use of improper parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3 Wheel Skates should only be used in suitable, well lit areas.
3 Wheel Skates must be used in pairs at either the front or rear of the vehicle. They
must never be used diagonally.
3 Keep general area clean and tidy and free from obstructions.
3 Use Wheel Skates on level and solid ground, preferably concrete.
Avoid tarmacadam as Wheel Skates may sink in.
3 Keep hands and body clear of the mechanism when operating the Wheel Skates.
3 Maintain the Wheel Skates in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
3 Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
3 Ensure the Wheel Skates are free to move and that there are no obstructions
in the area of use.
3 When not in use store Wheel Skates in a safe, dry, childproof area.
p DANGER: Use the Wheel Skates for manouvering 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.
7 DO NOT use the Wheel Skates for purposes other than which they are intended.
7 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the Wheel Skates.
7 DO NOT leave the vehicle unattended whilst it is raised on the Wheel Skates.
7 DO NOT operate the Wheel Skates when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
7 DO NOT get the Wheel Skates wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
7 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the Wheel Skates. Remember that the front of a vehicle is usually heavier than the rear.
7 DO NOT use the Wheel Skates to lift or support a vehicle in order to do work underneath it.
3 Maintain correct balance and footing when moving vehicle. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.
3 Ensure there are no obstructions beneath the vehicle when it is to be lowered.
3 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 manouvering 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.
