2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions carefully before assembling or operating the SCANGRIP WHEEL STAND. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.
- Stability: Always ensure the stand is placed on a flat, stable surface. Uneven surfaces can cause the stand to tip over.
- Locking Wheels: Always engage the wheel locks when the stand is in its desired position to prevent accidental movement.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity for attached work lights. Overloading can compromise stability.
- Adjustments: When adjusting the height, ensure all locking mechanisms are securely tightened before leaving the stand unattended.
- Movement: When moving the stand, ensure any attached lights are securely fastened and that the path is clear of obstructions. Roll the stand; do not lift it by the adjustable pole when assembled, as components may separate.
- Pinch Points: Be aware of pinch points when extending or collapsing the stand. Keep hands clear of moving parts.
- Environmental Conditions: While the stand is powder-coated for durability, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions to maximize its lifespan.

4. Setup and Assembly
The SCANGRIP WHEEL STAND is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these steps:
- Attach the Main Pole to the Base: Carefully insert the bottom end of the main telescopic pole into the central opening of the wheeled base. Ensure it is fully seated and secure. Tighten any securing knobs or bolts if present at the base connection point.
- Install the Flexible Bracket: The flexible bracket can be attached to the main pole at a desired height. Loosen the knob on the bracket, position it around the pole, and then tighten the knob to secure it firmly. This bracket is designed to hold a second work light, typically for lower illumination.
- Mount Your Work Light(s): The top of the main pole and the flexible bracket are equipped with mounting points compatible with SCANGRIP work lights. Align your work light with the mounting pin and secure it according to the light's instructions. Ensure the light is firmly attached before use.

5. Operating Instructions
Operating the SCANGRIP WHEEL STAND is intuitive, allowing for quick adjustments and positioning.
- Adjusting Height: To extend or retract the main pole, loosen the locking knobs located on the telescopic sections. Adjust the pole to the desired height (between 3 ft and 6.2 ft), then firmly tighten the locking knobs to secure the position.
- Moving the Stand: To move the stand, ensure the wheel locks are disengaged. Gently push or pull the stand to its new location. The five-wheel design provides smooth and stable movement.
- Locking Position: Once the stand is in its desired position, engage the two lockable wheels by pressing down on their respective levers. This will prevent the stand from rolling accidentally.
- Utilizing the Second Light Bracket: The flexible bracket can be rotated and adjusted along the main pole to direct a second work light precisely where needed, such as for illuminating lower areas of a vehicle.
