Coupling

• Raise the towing arm side ways to the upright position then pull the arm forward until it is slightly below the
horizontal position and locate the tow arm ring on to the towing pin of the towing hitch.
• Never tow more than four Dollies at a time
• If towing more than one Dolly align the front of the second Dolly and follow the above procedure.
Un-coupling
• If there is more than one dolly always commence from the last dolly being towed.
• Ensure the floor is flat and even.
• Press down the towing arm and release it from the towing pin, raise the arm to the upright position then lower
the arm side ways to its storage position.
• Caution! The towing arm is spring loaded, so take additional care when carrying out this procedure.

part of the operation may vary slightly depending on the towing attachment fitted to the towing hitch).
