14 14 How to Tell the Difference Between Axles There are drastic differences between the ITD1400 Standard Aluminum Telescoping Axles and ITD1401 Positive Camber Aluminum Telescoping Axles. To tell the differences between the two you must inspect some of the key features on the axle. Inspect the profile of the axle, ITD1401 Positive Camber Aluminum Telescoping Axles have a laminated face as well as additional flanges. Inspection of the cap profile view of ITD1401 Positive Camber Aluminum Telescoping Axles has a 3 degree angle different from the ITD1400 Standard Aluminum Telescoping Axle. Knowing exactly which model axle types you have is important because both (ITD1400 & ITD 1401) are mutually exclusive of the other, and CANNOT be interchanged as a pair or used in conjunction with each other. ITD1400 STANDARD AXLE PROFILE ITD1401 POSITIVE CAMBER AXLE PROFILE Solid Face Laminated Face Additional Flanges STANDARD AXLE CAP PROFILE POSITIVE CAMBER AXLE CAP PROFILE Surfaces Parallel Surface has 3 of Angle

19 19 DOLLY MAINTENANCE Visual Inspection Before each use, perform a thorough visual inspection of the unit and all accessories. Inspect for: Evidence of physical damage such as cracking Bending Deformation of plates and welds Cranking or Flaking of paint Fraying or deterioration of tie-downs or their mechanical members Loose rivets or missing end caps from the Dolly Axles Confirm that the cam locks engage fully If any of these conditions exist, contact ITD and remove the equipment from service immediately. Repair or replace the necessary components with ITD certified parts. Maintenance (Each Use) Always perform regular maintenance of the Speed Dolly and its parts. Prior to each use: Check the tire pressure to assure it is at the recommended pressure listed on the tire side wall. Inspect Tie-Downs for frays, kinks, and defects. Replace immediately if any damage exists. Inspect the Break-over Bar for deformation. Replace if necessary with a Break-over Bar from ITD. Maintenance (3 Months) Check Lug Nuts on Dolly Wheels. Tighten to recommended 95 ft-lbs torque. Inspect wheel bearings. Under normal use inspect and repack the wheel bearings once every three months. Under severe use, repack monthly. Use wheel bearing grease - We recommend Valvoline Optimum Choice Aluminum Wheel Care ITD aluminum wheels are coated with a durable clear coat to allow for a long lasting finish, to clean simply use soap and water. DO NOT use any abrasive polish or cleaner, doing so may lead to damage to the wheel Tire Inspection When performing maintenance, check Speed Dolly tires for irregular tread wear on tire tread and sidewalls, cracking, scrapes, bulges, cuts, foreign objects and debris. Remove any foreign objects or debris embedded in the tread to prevent damage. Tires with excessive damage on the tread or sidewall(s) should be removed from service and replaced.

20 20 Grease Points All Speed Dollies have been designed with low maintenance in mind. Two grease points are all that is required for all moving mechanisms. SLS Speed Lube Spindle Grease Points The SLS Speed Dolly and SLS XD Dolly have been designed with low maintenance in mind. The Speed Lube Spindle allows bearing grease to enter the center of the spindle with a standard grease gun. It forces new bearing grease into the spindle, pushing the old bearing grease forward, then exiting the spindle. This completely repacks the bearing with new, clean bearing grease. First remove the rubber plug from the spindle dust cap. With a standard grease gun, inject fresh bearing grease into the circe until old bearing grease is pushed out the exit hole. Wipe clean to remove old bearing grease. WARNING MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE WHEEL BEARING GREASE TO LUBRICATE THE SLS SPEED LUBE SPINDLE New Grease Pumped In Grease Exit Hole Grease Exit Hole Old Grease Forced Out In The Ditch recommends using Valvoline Optimum Choice when lubricating Speed Dolly grease points

29 29 Tips & Tricks The Crunch Zone A simple little tip when yo find yourself in the crunch zone. The crunch zone is anytime you are up against an obstacle such that you cannot fully raise the dolly using the break-over bar. Here is how to get is accomplished with any of the ITD dolly products. To Get Out of the Crunch Zone : 1. Fully load the dolly tire that has full access for the break-over bar. 2. Insert the break-over bar into the BACK SIDE of the receiver tube. 3. Re-engage the Cam-lock and pull the bar towards the frame to lock it into the stowed position. This will raise the vehicle tire up just enough such that you can pull away from the wall. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on other side of dolly. 5. Once away from the obstacle, re-install the break-over bar in the stowed wheel receiver. 6. Apply a small amount of pressure forward to allow disengage of cam-lock. 7. Load dolly as normal and attached tie downs. Steps 1-3 Load Dolly Tire you have access to Steps 5 Move vehicle away from obstacle Steps 6-7 Load vehicle completely Steps 7 Secure with tie downs VIDEO ONLINE WATCH THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO AT:

30 30 Walking the Dolly With the ability to lock the dolly wheels in the stowed position, the ITD dollies have the unique feature of walking using the break-over bar. The advantage of walking the dolly is the reduce weight and back strain. To Walk the Dolly : 1. Set the dollies on the ground 2. Insert the break-over bar 3. Walk them back to the towed vehicle. Quick Extend Axles ITD aluminum telescoping axles have been designed with large corner radius s and a domed snap button to allow for a quick extension of the axles. Quick Extend: 1. Depressing the snap button 2. Place a foot on the a axle cap to keep the axle steady 3. Rotate axle pieces 4. Extend swiftly Extend Depress With a little practice extending axles to the correct hole can be quick and easy. Reducing Lifting Load When loading or unloading a vehicle in excess of 3000lbs (XD model only) it is helpful to place a piece of lumber under the vehicle tire. This reduces the load felt by the operator when operating the dolly.
