4. PREPARATION AND USE
4.1. Before use, lock the sliding action of each turntable by inserting the locking pins.
4.2. The turntables must be placed on a dry, non-slip surface to prevent them moving when the vehicle is driven onto them. Place a
turntable in front of each wheel with the turntable itself centred on the tyre and the scale facing outwards to the left or right.
Ensure that the two turntables are in line with each other and parallel to the front of the vehicle. With the locking pins still in position,
drive the vehicle onto the turntables until the centres of the wheels are positioned over the centres of the respective turntables as
shown below. The process will be easier if a second person is available to give guidance. Switch off the engine and engage the
handbrake. Remove the locking pins from each turntable.
