drum or hub assemblies. This device is designed to be used in conjunction with jacks and jack stands
NEVER load this device with more than the weight of the wheel assembly to be removed! ENSURE that the
vehicle is securely positioned and supported by mechanical means such as a pair of appropriately rated
jack stands or cribbing and blocking.
NEVER use a wheel dolly as a wheel pulling device. Before transporting wheel assembly ensure that it is
free from the hub or drum assembly and that it is secured to the wheel dolly using the provided securing means.
NEVER load this device with more than the weight of the wheel assembly to be removed!

PREPARATION
Assembly (refer to Fig. 1 & 2)
1. Attach 3 1/2" caster (1) to left and right main frame (2 & 3) with bolts & washers (4).
2. Attach 5" caster (5) to rear support (6), with bolts, washers & nuts (7).
3. Insert left main frame (2) into right main frame (3).
4. Attach upright (8) and rear support (6) into the main frame assembly (2 & 3) with two bolts &
nuts (9) and four bolts, washers & nuts (10).
5. Attach support straps (11) to the mouting ears of upright and main frame with bolts, washers
and nuts (12).
6. Attach hydraulic unit (13) onto the upright assembly (8).
7. Insert load leveler handle (14) to rear support (6) with pin and cotter pin (15 & 16).
8. Attach the chain (17) onto upright assembly.
BEFORE USE
1. Verify that the product and the application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk tech. service (816) 891-
6390.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the potential hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation; position the hydraulic unit upright as shown in Fig. 1, engage the
release valve with the slotted portion of the provided handle, then turn the release valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to
raise the load.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position
used to lower the load.
4. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil filler plug. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then pump 6 to 8
full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Check oil level.
Proper oil level is level with the oil filler plug hole. Adjust as needed, reinstall the oil filler plug.
5. Place the hydraulic unit to the wheel dolly as shown in Fig. 1. Position the hydraulic unit such that the saddle
mates with the provided indentation.
6. Check to ensure that wheel dolly rolls freely, that the pump and release valve operate smoothly. Raise and lower
the unloaded wheel dolly throughout the lifting range before putting into service. Replace worn or damaged parts
and assemblies with Factory Authorized Replacement Parts only.
