surfaces only. Standing the Deck Dolly in the upright position on
soft or uneven surfaces may lead to injury and/or damage.

10) With the Deck Dolly preassembled, lay the unit over the deck and align the bottom
bracket 5/8”bolt with the decks factory auto connect mounts. Depending on how it fits
you may have to flip the brackets to the other side of the Upright as shown below.
Usually this happens if the deck’s factory bracket touches the Deck Dolly’s wheel. The
point here is to carry the deck as low as possible without interfering with the Dolly.
Once satisfied with the fit, you may now tighten the bracket bolts. See picture below.

Be sure to set the width of the dolly to hold the dolly as shown below to hold the deck
mount as close to the bracket as possible.
11) Align the Upper Deck Support into the front deck mount leaving about an 1/8” of
space between the ½” rod and the top of the deck mount. This is to insure that when in
the upright position the weight of the deck is on the lower mounts. Tighten these bolts.
