Chapter 3
Moving the Unpacked Chassis
Steps
Step 1
With a person on each side of the chassis, turn all four lifting cranks of the dolly slowly clockwise. Lift
the dolly to the “Transport” marking on the height label on each lift assembly leg. The dolly can be used
to transport the chassis at heights from 0.5 to 3.0 inches; the transport height is 1 inch max and 1.5 inch
max for going over thresholds.
Note
The dolly has four separate lifting cranks, each of which works independently. It is best to turn
each lifting crank simultaneously when lifting the chassis to keep the chassis as level as possible
so as to not put undue stress on the chassis frame or dolly and to reduce the risk of tipping too far.
Note
The 180-degree position is the recommended configuration for moving the chassis. If needed
because of site requirements, rotate the dolly to the 90-degree position. If you are transporting
in a 90-degree configuration, then have at least two people moving the chassis to prevent any
transporting hazard. See the
“Modifying the Dolly Configuration” section on page 1-11
for
further information.
Note
You must lower the chassis completely to the floor before rotating the outrigger legs. When you
have rotated the lifting cranks, raise the chassis again. See the
“Modifying the Dolly
Configuration” section on page 1-11
for further information.
Step 2
Unlock the dolly caster anti-rotation and brake systems.
Note
The dolly is optimized to move the chassis on flat surfaces. It is not designed to move the chassis
up stairs, over curbs, up ramps, or over bumps more than 1.5 inches high (such as door
thresholds).
Step 3
Use at least three people to transport the chassis up any ramp. Position one person in the front of the
chassis to pull, one person at the rear of chassis to push, and one person steering the chassis.
Step 4
Carefully roll the chassis into position near its mounting location.
