down.

J-hooks into the large holes. You may now tighten those bolts.

10) Align the Upper Deck Support into the front deck mount leaving about an 1/8” of
space between the tube 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. There are
multiple holes so insure that the bottom bracket is seated in the deck mount and
situate the top bracket at the proper holes. Tighten these bolts.
11) You should now align and tighten the lower cross support tube when the brackets
are centered in the lower deck mount.
12) Check all bolts for tightness before operating the Deck Dolly.
13) Please take care to watch the lower deck wheels when operating the Dolly for
the first time. You may have to raise and turn the wheels so they do not catch on
the ground and pull the deck off of the Dolly.
