Jockey Wheel
To use the Jockey Wheel pull it free of the catch and lower it towards the floor, this
transfers the weight of the woolpress from the loadcell foot to the Jockey Wheel.
The woolpress is now ready to move.
To use the brake foot lift the Jockey Wheel handle up about half way, retain a firm grip on
the handle, when the brake foot contacts the ground it will stop the woolpress.
When the woolpress has come to a complete stop lift the Jockey Wheel up and push the
plastic knob firmly into the catch to secure it.
Note: When pressing wool ensure that the Jockey Wheel is secured in the catch and the
loadcell foot is fitted to the correct height so the brake foot on the Jockey Wheel is clear of
the floor.
When moving the woolpress the loadcell foot must be clear of the floor.
When using the Jockey Wheel do not release it until it has been secured in the catch. If
released, unrestrained upward movement can cause damage to the woolpress.
Do not allow any part of your body to come between the Jockey Wheel and the woolpress.
When moving the woolpress it is important that it has come to a complete stop before
lowering the weight of the woolpress onto the loadcell foot.
The woolpress should not be used or moved on uneven, unstable or sloping surfaces.
