BASIC KNOWLEDGE
ALLEN KEY
Integrated Allen Key
We designed the Easy Rider to be used almost tool-free in order to ensure a fast
and easy operating. If there is a tool needed it is always the same: only one Allen Key which has
its parking position directly on side of the dolly. This gives you, the operator, the possibility to
work fast and easy, without losing time for searching the right tool.
