Setup
The Orange Cycle Parts Ski Dolly Set (SC-12010) comes largely pre-assembled. Minor assembly may be required to attach the wheel units to the main frame if they are detached for packaging. Ensure all bolts and nuts are tightened securely before first use.
- Inspect Components: Before assembly, inspect all parts for any signs of damage from shipping.
- Attach Wheels (if necessary): If the wheels are not pre-attached, align the wheel assembly with the mounting points on the green metal frame. Insert the provided bolts and secure them with nuts. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten firmly, but do not overtighten.
- Check Pneumatic Tires: Ensure the pneumatic tires are adequately inflated. Refer to the tire sidewall for recommended pressure if available, or inflate to a firm but not rigid state.
- Final Fastener Check: Double-check all bolts, nuts, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to instability and potential damage or injury.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to safely use your ski dollies:
- Position the Dolly: Place one dolly unit under each ski of your snowmobile or similar equipment. The open end of the dolly is designed to cradle the ski.
- Secure the Ski: Carefully lift the ski and guide it into the cradle of the dolly. The top hook on the dolly should engage with the ski to hold it in place. Ensure the ski is seated firmly and balanced on the dolly.
- Repeat for Second Ski: Apply the second dolly unit to the other ski in the same manner.
- Verify Stability: Before moving, gently push and pull the equipment to ensure both skis are securely seated in their respective dollies and the setup is stable.
- Maneuver: Once secured, the pneumatic wheels allow for easy movement of the equipment over various surfaces, including garage floors, driveways, and light snow. Exercise caution when turning sharply, as excessive turning may cause the dollies to disengage from the skis.
- Removal: To remove the dollies, lift the equipment slightly to disengage the ski from the dolly, then pull the dolly away.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your ski dollies:
- Clean: Wipe down the metal frames with a damp cloth after each use, especially if exposed to salt or corrosive materials. Dry thoroughly.
- Inspect Wheels: Periodically check the pneumatic tires for proper inflation and signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Lubricate: Apply a small amount of general-purpose lubricant to the wheel axles and any pivot points annually or as needed to ensure smooth operation.
- Check Fasteners: Regularly inspect all bolts and nuts for tightness. Retighten any loose fasteners to prevent component separation during use.
- Storage: Store the dollies in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
