1 Introduction
Purpose of this document
This document describes information that is supplementary to the instructions
provided in AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating Instructions (29065430) and in
AxiChrom 300-1600 columns User Manual (29099939).
This document only describes how to install and use a wheel kit on an AxiChrom™
column. For more information about AxiChrom columns please refer to the user
documentation provided with your column.
WARNING
Before installing, operating or maintaining AxiChrom
columns, all users must read and understand the entire
contents of AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating
Instructions (29065430) to become aware of the hazards
involved.
Scope
This document describes how to fit wheel kits to various sizes of AxiChrom columns so
that the columns can be moved, either using the trolley handle provided with the wheel
kit or by using moving equipment such as a MasterMover™ or PowerAttack™ connected
to an attachment coupling fitted to the wheel kit.
For information about moving equipment alternatives that can be used with an
AxiChrom wheel kit, but which must be ordered separately from the respective
supplier, refer to the AxiChrom product pages on the Cytiva website.

2 General precautions when moving columns
This section provides general safety information that must be observed when moving
AxiChrom 300-1600 columns.
WARNING
Columns in swing-out or any kind of maintenance mode must not
be moved. This may cause personal injury or damage to the
column.
WARNING
Make sure that the wheels are immobilized when fitting a wheel kit,
so that the column cannot begin to roll away.
WARNING
Make sure never to place any body part between the column stand
and a wheel kit. Always use the handle to hold a trolley when fitting
it under the column stand.
WARNING
Maintain a safe distance when moving the column. Make sure
that no person is near the column when the column is in motion,
other than the personnel required to perform lifting and moving
procedures.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental collisions, use caution when moving columns
equipped with wheels by hand. Two or more people may be
required to move the column safely.
4 AxiChrom wheel kit Instructions 29145462 AB

NOTICE
To avoid damage to the wheels and possible tipping when the
column is moved, make sure that the wheels of the wheel kit do not
run into or over objects (for example doorway thresholds or
tubing).
NOTICE
The wheels must be removed and the column must be leveled
properly before the column is used.
NOTICE
While transporting a 300-600 column, do not pull the handle
upward, as the trolley knob may fall out of its position. Lifting the
handle will not work as a brake.

3.2 Fitting an AxiChrom 300-600 wheel kit
To be able to use the jack to assemble/disassemble the trolleys and fit or remove an
AxiChrom 300-600 column wheel kit the following requirements must be met.
•The distance between the floor and the column stand must be between 90-110 mm
for AxiChrom 300-600 columns.
•There must be adequate free surrounding space to be able to move the column (for
dimension information refer to AxiChrom 300-1600 columns Operating Instructions
(29065430)).
NOTICE
Do not perform any type of maintenance work on a column when it
is fitted with a wheel kit. Maintenance work may only be carried out
on AxiChrom columns when they are stably supported by the
column feet under the column stand.
Tip: If you intend to move the column back to the same position after it has been
moved, mark the position of the column feet on the floor before beginning to
fit the wheel kit. This will allow the column to be returned to exactly the
position after moving, without the need to level the column again.

Step Action
1Place the lever close to one of the rear feet and lift the column by lowering
the lever arm. Screw the foot pads in completely.
If needed for work in restricted spaces, the lever can be mirrored by changing
the attachment of the lever arm.
2Fit the rear wheels in the hole in the column stand (A, Wheel and trolley
fittings, on page 8). Ensure that the washer and safety pin are correctly
placed, to secure the rear wheels.
3Lower the column by lifting the lever arm. Ensure that the column stands
firmly on the wheels before removing the lever.
4Fit the second pair of rear wheels on the other rear foot by repeating steps 1
to 3 above.

Step Action
5Attach the trolley bar to the front of the column stand. Make sure that the
pins underneath the stand (F, Wheel and trolley fittings, on page 8 are
properly fitted into the slots E of the trolley bar (Trolley and trolley bar, on
page 8), before tightening the bolts B to the column stand.
6Place the trolley knob D (Trolley and trolley bar, on page 8) vertically under
the adjusting screw C, and adjust the height adjusting screw so it rests on the
trolley knob.
7When the height adjusting screw is adjusted, secure it with the safety pin S.
8Lift the front of the column by lowering the handle on the trolley. Turn the
trolley so it faces forward.
9Make sure that the column rests fully on the wheels. Screw the foot pads in
completely.
The column can now be moved.

3.3 Removing an AxiChrom 300-600 wheel kit
When the column has been rolled into position at the intended location, remove the
wheel kit from the column as described below.
Step Action
1Adjust all feet until they have the same distance between the floor and stand,
90 to 110 mm.
2Turn the trolley to one of the sides as the following image shows.
Lower the front of the column, by raising the handle on the trolley. The handle
should now stand vertically.
3If necessary, remove the safety pin and loosen the height adjusting screw to
be able to relieve the weight from the trolley knob D. Remove the trolley.

lowering the lever arm. If needed in narrow spaces, the lever can be mirrored
by changing the attachment of the lever arm.
6Remove the washer and safety pin from the wheels, and disassemble the
wheels from the hole A in the column stand.
