Assembly: 1. Cut the Vibratite packet (23) and empty into a disposable metal or glass container. Paint the last five threads of all the bolts in the kit (11, 12, and 13), including the axles (2). Wait ten minutes for the Vibratite to dry before proceeding with screw assembly. 2. Remove the arms from the T-handles, which have been installed in the storage position for shipping. Use a flat blade screwdriver to spread the arm clamp apart if necessary to ease removal. 3.

4. Apply one fourth of the grease (22) to each axle (2) and assemble a wheel (1), ½” washer (3), arm (6 and 7), and hex nut (4). Tighten the axle until snug, then tighten the axle 1/4 - 1/2 turn more (approximately 20 ft-lbs) with a T-55 Torx wrench (a 5/16” or 8mm hex wrench can be used in a pinch). Repeat for each of the three remaining wheels. 5.

6. Slide the Saddle/Latch assemblies (5) over the Telescoping Handles (9) with the latch side first. Slip a ¼” square nut (14) into the Telescoping Handle T-slot, and secure with a ¼-20 x 1.5” screw (11), and a ¼” washer (15). Use Table 2 to find the location of the saddle for your ski. Move the saddle to the correct location per the table. The image below shows a saddle at 4”. If your ski is not in the table, the saddle/latch should be at about 7”, and will be adjusted later.

7. Place a ¼” square nut (14) in the T-slot of the T-Handle and then slide a Telescoping handle onto the T-handle, lining up the nut with the hole in the Telescoping Handle. Install a ¼-20 x 0.5” screw (12) and ¼” washer (15). Use Table 2 to find the extension for your ski. Move the telescoping handle to the correct location per the table. The image below shows the end of the telescoping handle at 8 1/8”. Tighten the screw (approximately 4 ft-lbs).
PAGE 6
Adjustment: Key adjustments 1. If you have used Table 2 to pre-set your Sled Wheels, proceed to step 5 below. 2. If not done previously, adjust the width of each Sled Wheel assembly to be approximately ½” wider than the ski. Include space to avoid the ski spindle screw if it sticks out past the ski. Tighten, but do not over tighten the arm clamp screws (approximately 4 ft-lbs).
PAGE 7
3. Position one Sled Wheel assembly above the ski so that the Sled Wheels axle is directly above the ski spindle axle. Loosen the Telescoping handle screw and move the handle so it hits the end of the ski. Tighten the screw (approximately 4 ft-lbs). 4. Adjust the saddle/latch assembly so that the latch will close at the peak of the ski loop. Tighten the saddle screw (approximately 4 ft-lbs). 5. Loosen the latch adjustment screw three turns so that the lower portion of the latch is moveable.

6. Grab one Sled Wheel assembly by the handle, hold it vertically, and slide the fingers under the ski until the wheel axle is in line with the spindle axle. You may need to lift the ski loop to create space under the ski. Rotate the assembly down to raise the ski and check the length of the telescoping handle. Adjust as necessary to keep the Sled Wheels axle and the spindle axle in line. 7.
PAGE 9
Attach to skis: 1. Grab one Sled Wheel assembly by the handle, hold it vertically, and slide the fingers under the ski until the wheel axles are in line with the spindle axle. You may need to lift the ski loop to create space under the ski. Rotate the assembly down to raise the ski until the latch closes around the ski loop. Install and lock the safety pin. Repeat for the second ski. Caution: Do not exceed 12 miles per hour while driving on Sled Wheels. Detach from skis: 1. Remove safety pin from latch.
