INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE product.
The CHDDWD Wheel Dolly is designed for effortless, fast and safe removal,
handling and fitting of agricultural, industrial and commercial wheels.
The lifting action is achieved using a two stage hydraulic pump mounted
inside the frame.
The wheel to be handled is lifted on two tables of rollers. one mounted on
each support beam. The hydraulic pump draws the beams together under
the wheel so that the wheel is lifted by the rollers and a safety lock then
applied. The wheel is balanced securely using the wheel support and
retaining arm before manoeuvring.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
PRODUCT FEATURES
• 2~speed hydraulic ram for quick and accurate adjustment
• Support handle to assist wIth manoeuvrability
• Adjustable retaining arm
• 4 heavy duty castor wheels to enable ease of movement once the
wheel is on the roller tables
• 2 roller tables each with rollers to enable rotation of the wheel for
alignment to the vehicle mounting studs

OPERATION
Before use, visually inspect the dolly for distortion of parts, cracked welds,
damaged castors, oil leaks, or any other sign of damage. Should any of these
be apparent, have the dolly inspected and repaired by a qualified technician
before putting back into use.
During transit or storage, it is possible that an air pocket may have developed
within the hydraulic ram and the ram action may therefore appear to be
‘spongy’. In this case the ram may require purging by depressing the foot
pedal and pumping the handle.
LOADING THE DOLLY
1. Position the vehicle on a suitable horizontal floor, applying the brake. Jack
up the axle of the wheel to be changed with a suitable trolley jack so that
it is clear of the floor. Support the vehicle with axle stands at positions
advised in the vehicle handbook.
2. Expand the beams apart enough to position around the tyre.
3. Ensure the dolly is parallel to the sidewall of the tyre. Leave clearance
between the tyre wall and the column to allow rotating movement of the
tyre.
4. Adjust the wheel support column so that the retaining arm can be
positioned over the wheel.
5. Push the dolly under the wheel so that the roller tables are positioned either
side of the wheel and that the wheel rests against the wheel support
column.
6. Check that the lowering pedal is in its uppermost position then fit the
handle into the pump actuator and pump the arms together until the
wheel and roller tables cannot glide apart.
7. Pump the operating handle, depressing with smooth, even strokes until
both roller sets are in contact with the tyre tread.
8. Lower the retaining arm behind the wheel and adjust until the wheel is
vertical and can be moved approx 5cm sideways. This will allow the wheel
to be rotated when relocating on the wheel studs. Lock the retaining arm
in position by tightening the adjustment clamps.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE STRICTLY
FOLLOWED. NO RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE
OF THE DOLLY.

NOTE: The angle of the wheel supports can be adjusted by the removal
of locking pin to accommodate different wheel configurations.
WARNING! WHEEL SUPPORT COLUMN AND RETAINING ARM ARE ONLY USED TO
BALANCE THE WHEEL, NOT TO CARRY A LOAD!
9. Lift the wheel by pumping the actuator. When the wheel is positioned on
the dolly the arms must be secured in the lifting position with the width
locking pin.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that locking pin is secured through [he nearest locating
hole on the inner frame member. This prevents unintentional lowering of the
wheel white it is being handled.
10. With the wheel nuts removed, the wheel can now be safely carried away
from the vehicle on the dolly.
11. Put the handle into either socket for storage and use as a handle to move
the dolly around.
12. Always use the brakes on each of the front swivelling castors to prevent the
dolly moving unintentionally.
UNLOADING THE DOLLY
When the wheel Is located on the wheel studs of the vehicle and secured with
the wheel nuts or the wheel has been moved to a place for storage, it can be
released from the dolly.
1. Loosen the support and retaining arms by releasing the adjustment
clamps.
2. Lift and release the safety locking pin.
3. Press down on the lowering release pedal.
4. The beams should move apart under the weight of the wheel and the dolly
may be removed when the rollers are no longer bearing any weight.
5. Adjust the retaining arm so that it does not catch on the top of the wheel
before manoeuvring the dolly clear of the wheel.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
If the dolly has been stored for long periods, check for oil leaks before use and
top up via the oil refill plug on the oil reservoir if necessary.
• Oil can be topped up using Clarke Hydraulic Oil, part no: 3050830 for
1 litre, part no. 3050835 for 5 litres).
REFILLING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
If topping up the hydraulic oil reservoir, drive the dolly arms apart until they are
at theIr widest possible position. Remove the refill plug and top up the oil.
• Refilling is best carried out using a measuring jug with a flexible spout
or an oil can.
• The oil used should be equivalent to hydraulic oil quality ISO VG I5.
• When refilling the oil reservoir, the unit must be pumped fully apart
before the refill plug is removed otherwise there Is a risk of excess
pressure in the reservoir which can cause oil to squirt out when the
refill screw is loosened.
STORAGE
Store in a dry, child-proof place with the ram fully retracted.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products.
NEVER throw away used hydraulic oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a
sink or drain. Collect any hydraulic oil in a leak proof container and take it to
your local waste disposal site.
If disposing of this product or any damaged components, do not dispose of
with general waste. This product contains valuable raw materials and should
be taken to your local civic amenity site for recycling of metal products.
