General safety
•Never make any alterations in the product’s construction.
•Do not use damaged or altered equipment.
•Inspect the general condition of the dolly before each use.
•Check for breaks, cracks or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any other condition that could affect
the proper and safe function of the product.
•Before use, check the dolly thoroughly. If the dolly does not appear to be working correctly, follow the
instructions in the section: Periodic maintenance and inspection.
•The wheel dolly is a tool designed only to mount and dismount wheels on a vehicle that is already been
lifted and supported by a trestle and must not be used as an independent tool for lifting vehicles.
•Do not lift the horizontal or vertical arm, as these are only designed to support the wheel.
•Use the unit on a horizontal, even and solid surface in a well-lit area.
•The wheel/load should be lifted vertically, as the load might otherwise slide out at the bottom and away
from the unit. This can cause the wheel dolly to “shoot out” toward the user.
•Do not use the unit to lift more than 1600 kg.
Failure to observe the max. lifting capacity could cause serious injury or damage to property.
•Lowering a load of over 1600 kg onto the unit could result in significant damage to the wheel dolly. This
could happen, for instance, if you lower the vehicle before the user has lowered and removed the wheel
dolly after use with the vehicle.
•Users and others must keep a safe distance of at least 0.5 m from the load.
•The unit must not be used if it is leaking oil or if the unit is functioning in a way that is different from the
description in the operating instruction. If this is the case, stop using the dolly immediately and contact
an authorised service technician for inspection and, if needed, repair of the unit so that it may be used
safely again.
•Make sure that warning and information signs on the product are legible and intact at all times.
•Never perform service on the dolly while it is carrying a load.
Further updated safety information is available at www.compac.dk under “Service”.
Failure to observe the following will result in serious bodily
injury or death, as well as damage to property.

Transporting the WD 1600 Wheel Dolly
The WD 1600 Wheel Dolly is a mobile unit that is very versatile and can be transported to the service
location in a van, securely fastened to it.
Due to the dolly’s tare weight, there is a risk of injury. Therefore, it is strictly necessary that loading of the
dolly into the vehicle is done with a stacking truck or forklift by staff with the necessary operating permits.
The tower with the horizontal and vertical support arm can be removed by pulling out peg (C) for transport.
The forklift or stacking truck’s forks should be driven to the back of the frame and positioned at point (D) for
proper lifting.
Preparation and assembly prior to use
Read and understand the enclosed operating manual before use.
On receiving the product, check it for visible damage, cracks or leakage.
Installation / assembly of the unit: See the attached assembly instructions for the WD 1600 Wheel Dolly.

Component overview
Functional description
The wheel / load is lifted with the help of 2 x 4 lifting rollers (F), which are pressed in underneath the wheel
from both sides. The rollers can be adjusted to the width of the wheel by sliding a strong mandrel. The
adjustable support arm (A) keeps the wheel securely balanced, ensuring stability during handling.
To lift the wheel, move the change-over valve (E) into the lifting position (2b) and pump with the pumping
rod (P). The lifting cylinder positioned inside the frame now pulls the frame with the rollers (F) towards the
wheel, thereby lifting the wheel. A lift will always be heavier in the beginning.
To lower the wheel, move the change-over valve (E) to the lowering position (2a); the wheel will now slowly
lower. If the wheel does not lower automatically, it must be lowered by pumping the pumping rod (P). The
cylinder placed inside the frame now pushes the frame with the rollers (F) away from the wheel, thereby
lowering the wheel.
The frame has a mechanical safety lock (S) which, when activated, ensures that the rollers will not glide
away from each other, even in the event of a hydraulic error.
The pumping rod (P) has a double function; in addition to its pumping function, it is used to manoeuvre the
wheel dolly.
The wheel dolly is fitted with a wheel brake on the back transport wheels, which can be used to brake the
unit.

Operating instruction
The wheel dolly must be positioned on a horizontal, level, dry and stable surface.
Before lifting a wheel, the vehicle must be lifted so the wheel is lifted completely from the ground, and the
vehicle must be secured / supported properly with an approved support (se Fig. 2).
The lock (L) must always be open during lifting and lowering, so the vertical telescopic arm (H) with the
horizontal support arm (A) and support wheel (W) can support and follow the wheel at all times (See Fig. 2).
Safe operation –Lifting for wheel dismount
The following letter designations refer to the component overview on page 8.
1. Move the wheel dolly over to the lifted vehicle and the wheel to be lifted.
2. Place the rollers (F) on each side of the wheel to be lifted. Move the unit as far forward against the
wheel as possible.
3. Loosen the lock (L) and raise the telescopic arm (H) vertically, so the horizontal support arm (A) can go
in over the wheel. Retighten the lock (L).
4. Loosen the lock (M) and the horizontal support arm (A), grip the handle (K) and place the arm (A) so it
can go in over the wheel and under any existing mudguard. Retighten the lock (M).
5. Move the wheel dolly in under the wheel as close to the wheel as possible.
6. Loosen the lock (M) and grip the handle (K). This allows you to push the horizontal support arm (A) with
the support roller (W) between the wheel/load and any existing wheel mudguard.
7. When the roller (W) is on the other side of the wheel, turn it down, to support the wheel/load on the
opposite side. Pull handle (K) back while tightening the lock (M).
8. Now the wheel/load can neither fall forward toward the user or away from the user.

Failure to observe the following may result in serious injury
or death, as well as damage to property.
The lock (L) must always be loosened during lifting and lowering so the vertical telescopic arm (H) with
the horizontal support arm (A) and support wheel (W) can move freely and thereby support the
wheel/load at all times, including during lifting and lowering. Otherwise, the wheel/load could fall out of
the wheel dolly and potentially cause damage.

9. Loosen the lock (L) so the vertical telescopic arm (H) can move up and down during lifting and
lowering.
10. Lift the safety lock (S) and turn it so it stays up (See Fig. 3)
11. Pull out the change-over valve (E) to position 2b (See Fig. 1)
12. The unit is operated by setting the change-over valve (E) to one of two positions (position 2b for lifting
and 2a for lowering) and pumping with the pumping rod (P).
13. Pump using the pumping rod (P) until the rollers (F) are touching the wheel on both sides.
14. You can now lift the wheel.*
* Before completing the lift, turn the safety lock (S) so
that the split pin through it is aligned with the two grooves
in the hub. This is a manual safeguard.
After a short lift or lowering, the lock will activate, and,
therefore, the load can neither be lifted nor lowered.
To release the lock, pump gently in the opposite direction
to allow deactivation of the lock (pulling out).
Safe operation –Manoeuvring with wheel / load
The following letter designations refer to the component overview on page 8.
Before operating the unit with the wheel/load, make sure that the support roller (W) is correctly positioned
and tightened via lock (M) and lock (L), both in a secured position, and that the safety lock (S) is in the
locked position.
Failure to observe the following may result in serious bodily
injury or death, as well as damage to property.
The lock (L) must always be tightened during transport with the wheel, so the vertical telescopic arm (H)
with the horizontal support arm (A) and support wheel (W) cannot move and thereby support the
wheel/load. Failure to do so could result in the wheel/load falling out of the wheel dolly and potentially
causing damage. For heavy loads or uneven surfaces, two persons are required to push the dolly, to
prevent undue strain on the arms, back or other body parts.
