SAFETY

Safety is of utmost importance at all times. There are

several items that must be checked each time before

using and while using the Kar Kaddy.

Make sure all bolts are properly tightened and those

requiring a set torque are up to specifications:

Tie Rod Castle Nut - 75 ft./lbs.

Lug Nuts - 75 to 80 ft./lbs.

Check Lug Nut tension after the first 5 miles and

periodically thereafter.

The ball hitch must latch securely around the ball and

the safety lock pin or lever must be in position to lock the

hitch on the ball.

RECOMMENDED BALL HEIGHT: 18 inches to the top

of the ball on the towing vehicle.

Hook the towed vehicle safety chains to the frame of the

vehicle directly above the area where the chain is

mounted on the Kar Kaddy. Leave some slack in the

chain to allow suspension movement.

Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working

order.

Examine the winches and straps, making sure they are

in good conditon.

Be certain the safety lock pins are locking the strap

winches.

Retighten straps over the tires after the first 5 miles and

every 50 miles thereafter. Ensure that they are tight.

The KK260 tires must be inflated to the recommended

50 PSI.

The KK260SB, KK360 and KK360SB tires must be

inflated to the recommended 50 PSI.

The strap on the optional tongue winch must be in good

condition and should be stored neatly on winch when

not in use.

NOTE: The winch strap must not be left connected to

the towed vehicle after it is loaded and strapped down.

Make sure the optional light bar is fastened securely at

the rear of the towed vehicle.

The wires to the optional light bar should be run along the

car and fastened so as not to damage the finish of the

towed vehicle.

NOTE: This unit cannot be backed up, when loaded or

with the steering lock pin removed.

All vehicles mounted on the Kar Kaddy must be mounted

with the front of the vehicle facing forward.

Rear Wheel Drive: Disconnect the towed vehicle

driveshaft for rear wheel drive vehicles with automatic

transmission.

For manual transmission: Consult your vehicle owners

manual for towing suitability with the drive shaft con-

nected. MAINTENANCE

Periodically check all bolts and nuts to insure proper

tension or torque.

Grease the king pin and tie rod end grease zerks every

2500 miles.

An occasional drop of oil may be required on the moving

parts of the tie down winches.

A light film of oil should periodically be applied to steering

stabilizer arm to prevent rust.

NOTE: Proper toe-in is 1/32". This is preset at the

factory.

The operator should periodically have the toe-in checked

and adjusted if needed at a qualified alignment shop.

Improper toe-in can result in irregular tire wear.

IMPORTANT LOADING INSTRUCTION

Check your wheel tie-down straps.

Your Kar Kaddy is equipped with custom made

wheel tie-down straps of a standard size that will fit

most tires, however if your tires are too large or too

small you will want to exchange these new straps

for the proper size straps.

1. Tire too large - This is very obvious the strap

will not basket over the tire properly, call us,

we will provide at NO Charge on an exchange

basis, the proper size strap. You must return

your new unused straps and provide us with

the Make and Model car and the tire size.

2. Tire too small - This is not as obvious, the

basket will fit down over the tire very well, the

problems cannot be readily seen. You must

tighten the straps down solid and then check

on the inside of the tire and be sure the strap,

when tightened does not come in contact with

any metal that may cause wear or cutting such

as strut mounts. If there is contact, you need a

smaller strap, call us, we will provide on a NO

Charge, exchange basis, the proper size strap.

You must return your new unused straps and

provide us with the Make and Model car and

tire size.

Thank you for Purchasing Products.

WARNING:

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF TOWING VEHICLE CONTROL,

SEPERATION OF THE TOW DOLLY FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, SEPERATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM

THE TOW DOLLY, CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Page 5

TESTING LIGHTS BEFORE USE

1. Check that the WHITE (ground) wire of the wiring harness

is connected to the Kar Kaddy frame and the WHITE

(ground) wire is connected to the frame of the towing

vehicle.

2. With headlights in "ON" position, the tail lights, the light

cluster bar, the license plate light, and the clearance lights

should be lighted.

3. Start engine and have someone depress brake pedal.

Brake lights of tow dolly and towing vehicle should come

"on" and "off" simultaneously with each application.

4. Turn left turn signal on. Left turn light of Kar Kaddy and

towing vehicle should flash simultaneously. Should the

turn signal lights of the trailer function opposite to those of

the towing vehicle, it is probable that the YELLOW (Driver

side) and GREEN (Passenger side) wires have been

reversed. Check the plug connection under the tongue of

the Kar Kaddy to make sure wire colors are not crossed at

that point. If plug connection is incorrect, correct problem

by reversing yellow and green wire connection on the

towing vehicle.

Step 1. Secure ball coupler to 2" (5,000 lb. capacity) towing

vehicle ball only. Make sure that the hitch and the hitch ball

are in good condition and not rusted, loose or stripped.

Recommended ball height is 18" to the top of the ball.

Make sure hitch is locked down and secured with safety clip.

Criss-cross safety chains under tongue and secure to towing

vehicle frame.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

Refer to load limits on inside of front cover.

Step 3. Loosen wing nut on back of license plate holder, turn

the clip on the front to a horizontal position and put license in the

"down" position. Turn the clip back so it rests against the back

of the light bar to hold the license down and tighten wing nut.

(License must be "UP" with the tow dolly empty).

Step 2. Remove black locking pin BEFORE loading vehicle

onto the Kar Kaddy. The removal of the locking pin allows

"Auto Steer" to operate. When towing the dolly empty, this pin

must be in place.

IMPORTANT: Tire tread width or body width of towed

vehicle must not exceed:

KK260 - 70" max. (outside to outside),

42" min. (inside to inside),

72" max. (body width).

KK360 - 76" max. (outside to outside),

42" min. (inside to inside),

78" max. (body width).

Step 4. Before loading (and unloading) towed vehicle make

sure platform and towed vehicle are in straight alignment. Tow

dolly must be completely and properly hooked up to the towing

vehicle. Towing vehicle must be larger and at least 1000

lbs. heavier than the tow dolly and towed vehicle com-

bined.

Page 6

Step 5. Grasp bed release handle on tongue and pull

toward coupler. This releases the tilt bed to permit loading.

Step 7. Drive vehicle onto the platform - front forward - until

tires touch the wheel stops at the front of each side of the

platform and the platform tilts to a flat position. Make sure the

car is centered on the platform. Towed vehicle tires must fit in

wheel troughs without overhanging sides. Engage towed

vehicle parking brake. Shift loaded car into "park" and lock

steering wheel with front tires in a straight position. If the car

does not have a locking steering column the steering wheel

must be tied securely with front tires in a straight position.

Rear Wheel Drive: Disconnect towed vehicle driveshaft for

rear wheel drive vehicles with automatic transmission.

For manual transmission: Consult your vehicle owners

manual for towing suitability with the drive shaft connected.

Step 8. Place one tie-down strap over each tire and secure

hooks to rods located at the rear of each wheel platform. The

short side of the hook must face the rear of the Kar Kaddy.

Step 9. Be sure tie-down winch is centered with the tire before

tightening straps.

Step 6. With someone safely guiding you, slowly drive ve-

hicle onto platform FRONT FORWARD. (Any vehicle mounted

on tow dolly must be mounted with front of the vehicle facing

forward.) Drive the car forward until the tires touch the ramps.

Make sure the tire is aligned to ascend onto the ramps.

Page 7

Examine winches and straps to make sure they are in

good condition.

Check wheel nuts every trip.

Tires must be inflated to recommended pressure by tire

manufacturer.

Be certain the safety lock pins lock the strap winches.

Retighten the straps over the tires after the first 5 miles

of travel. Check straps every 50 miles therafter to

ensure they are tight and not rubbing or fraying.

Step 10. Thread tie-down strap through the slotted tube on the

tie-down winch. Pull approx. 6" of strap through this slot.

Begin tightening strap making sure the tail becomes enclosed

by the strap coming over the tire. Tighten the straps ensuring

that the strap fed through the slot binds between the shaft and

the strap being wound onto the winch shaft. While tightening

straps, pull cross strap forward to ensure even tightening.

NOTE: Be sure to tighten straps until each tire starts to

flatten against tire stop. After each strap is tight, insert a

safety pin in each winch. Disengage towed vehicle parking

brake.

Straps must be retightened after first 5 miles of travel. Check

straps every 50 miles thereafter to ensure they are tight and

not rubbing or fraying.

Step 14. To pull the Kar Kaddy empty, make sure "Auto-

Steer" LOCKING PIN IS IN PLACE and towing vehicle

safety chains are up and hooked. Tie-down winch handles

should be left in a down postion (horizontal) position with

safety pins in place when towing loaded or empty. DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO PULL KAR KADDY WITH WHEEL PLAT-

FORM IN LOADING (tilted) POSITION.

DAMAGE PREVENTION

Check your vehicle manual or registration for vehicle weight.

Towing vehicle must be larger and at least 1,000 lbs. heavier

than the towed vehicle and tow dolly combined.

Do not pack goods in car that is being towed. Overloading the

Kar Kaddy or exceeding the width limit may result in damage

to both car and Kar Kaddy.

REAR WHEEL DRIVE PRECAUTIONS

Disconnect towed vehicle driveshaft for rear wheel drive

vehicles with automatic transmission. Simply placing trans-

mission in neutral is not sufficient to prevent damage to

transmisssion.

For manual transmission: Consult your vehicle owners manual

for towing suitability with the drive shaft connected.

ALL VEHICLES MOUNTED ON THE KAR KADDY MUST BE

WITH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FACING FORWARD.

Step 12. Hook the towed vehicle safety chains to frame of

vehicle directly above the area where the chains are mounted

on the Kar Kaddy. Leave some slack in the chains to allow

suspension movement of the towed vehicle.

Step 11. Make sure the tie-down strap is the correct size for

the auto tire. See page 11 of this instruction for proper fit and

exchange instructions.

Step 13. TO UNLOAD towed vehicle. Make sure that plat-

form and vehicle are straight. Reinstall driveshaft. Ensure that

towed vehicle parking brake is fully engaged, then unhook the

towed vehicle safety chains, and release the tie-down straps.

NOTE: Tie down straps must be "quick -released" by grasping

ratchet pawl (A) and ratchet handle (B) simultaneously and

pushing down sharply. This process will permit easy removal

of strap from winch.Swing the wheel platform locking latch

handle forward, towards the coupler. This will allow the

platform to tilt as you slowly drive off. Make sure the winch

ratchet handles are horizontal. Replace the "Auto Steer"

locking pin (for towing empty).

4. Limitations on Warranty Coverage:

Coverage under this warranty will be effective only when a copy

or durability, or that has been modified to change the intended

use of the tow dolly.

In addition, the warranty does not extend to repairs made

BLEEDING THE SYSTEM

The first requirement for safe, sure hydraulic braking is the use

of quality brake fluid. Use only DOT-3 or DOT-4 brake fluid from

a sealed container.

If pressure bleeding equipment is available, follow the

manufacturerís instruction in bleeding the system.

If system must be bled manually, proceed as follows: Fill

master cylinder with fluid. Install bleeder hose on first wheel

cylinder to be bled.

Have loose end of hose submerged in brake fluid in glass

container to observe bubbling.

By loosening the bleeder screw located in the wheel cylinder

one turn, the system is open to the atmosphere through the

passage drilled in the screw. Pump actuator with long steady

strokes. The bleeding operation is completed when bubbles

no longer rise to the surface of the fluid. Be sure to close

bleeder screw securely.

Repeat bleeding operation at each wheel cylinder. During the

bleeding process, replenish the brake fluid, so the level does

not fall below the 1/2 full level in the master cylinder reservoir.

After bleeding is complete, make sure master cylinder reser-

voir is filled and filler cap is securely in place.

After the bleeding operation has been completed, apply pres-

sure to the system and check the whole brake system for leaks.

11. DO NOT MOVE THE TIE ROD LOCKING CLAMP FROM

ITS FACTORY PRESET POSITION.

GREASE TIE ROD ENDS BEFORE USING.

NOTE: Tie rods are factory set and should not be

readjusted.

12. Bolt on the steering stabilizer cylinder (#1) as shown using

a 5/8" x 2-3/4" bolt (#2) coming up from the bottom,

through a 5/8" flat washer (#3), through cylinder end and

into threaded ear on the Kar Kaddy main frame. Snug bolt

up, then tighten putting 3/16" squeeze on the rubber of the

cylinder end. The final gap between the flat washer and

the threaded ear is 1-1/4". Lock in place with a 5/8" lock

nut (#4). Extend cylinder and attach the other end of the

cylinder to the tie rod locking clamp using a 5/8" x 2-3/4"

bolt and lock nut. Align locking clamp and tow dolly frame

ear, slide in black handle locking pin (#5) and secure with

hair pin (#6).

The "auto steer" feature is locked.

NOTE: If installed properly there should be a 1-1/4" gap

between the flat washer and the threaded ear as shown in

Figure A.

NOTE: A light film of oil should be applied to retractable

shaft of steering stabilizer cylinder to prevent rust from

forming. If Kar Kaddy sets idle for extended periods of

time, turn wheels of tow dolly so that the shaft is fully

retracted to prevent rust.

14. Bolt the fenders (#10) on as shown using 3/8" x 1-1/2"

grade 5 bolts (#11), back-up plates (#12) and lock nuts

(#13) in each fender. Mount the fender with the light pocket

to the rear. The 3/8" I.D. external star washer (#14) mounts

between fender inner frame and main frame mounting plate

to ensure a good ground. Attach the white ground wire (the

end with the eye loop on it) under the center top bolt head.

The tie rod and locking clamp is

shown unattached to the Kar

WIRING & FENDER

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: It is advantageous to wire the fender lights

prior to attaching the wheels.

1. Cut off stripped ends of the wiring harness, cut off stripped

ends of the front clearance light, and cut off the stripped

end of the white ground wire. The yellow/brown wires must

be run to the left tail light pocket. The green/brown wires

must be run to the right tail light pocket. Starting at either

fender, pull the loom downward from the center of the

fender and push the green/brown (or yellow/brown) wires

upward through the loom until it comes out by the light

pocket. Push the white ground wire through the slit in the

top of the loom in the fender trough toward the light pocket.

2. Push the brown clearance light wire through the loom on

the front of the fender until it comes out the loom in the

center of the fender, then push the brown wire through the

slit in the top of the back loom and toward the light pocket

until it comes out the loom. Mount the amber clearance

light to the front of the fender using the stainless steel

grounding strap (attached to the steel frame inside the

fender)SEE BELOW, then a 1/4" flat washer and lock nut.

Make sure the wire runs through the recess in the back of

the light so it doesn't get pinched when tightening the

mounting nut.

3. When wiring the pigtail into the tow dolly harness at the

fender pocket, the wire ends should NOT be stripped. Use

the wire connectors to make all contacts. Lay the wire in

the connector, pinch securely with a pliers, close the wire

connector.

Push the hollow looped end of the fender wireloom hanger

into the small hole under the fender pocket on the side of

the fender. Leave the holder open.

Make sure all four wires are coming out the fender wire

loom. Slide the rubber fender grommet over the wires and

up close to the wire loom. Splice the brown clearance

fender light and tow dolly brown wire together. Make sure

the connector is far enough from the loom to allow you to

push the connector into the hole in the fender pocket later.

4. Pull the black and white wire from the pigtail through the

hole in the fender pocket outward. Splice the white wire

to the white wire coming out the loom. Splice the black

wire to the brown wire. Splice the green (or yellow) wire

to the red wire of the pigtail. Make the connections on the

outside of the fender pocket, then push the connectors

and wires back into the fender pocket. Push the grommet

into the fender with the wire loom close to the grommet.

Wrap the loom hanger tie around the wire loom and insert

the peg into fender.

5. Push the round rubber light seal into the light pocket. Be

sure the lip is secured in the light housing. Plug the pigtail

into the fender light. Push the round light into the rubber

seal until it snaps in firmly. Wire the other fender in the

same manner.

6. Mount the mud flaps to the inside back of the fender using

two 1/4" x 3/4" brown colored truss head bolts with flat

washers and lock nuts. Make sure the Kar Kaddy logo on

the flap faces the rear.

7. Attach the wheels to the main frame. Use the supplied

lug nuts (#4) and torque to 75 - 80 ft. lbs.

WIRING OF THE TOWING VEHICLE

Connect wiring to towing vehicle, keeping in mind the color

code indicated below.

1. Make certain towing vehicle lights are "OFF".

2. Connect YELLOW wire to left turn signal and stop wire in

the left rear of towing vehicle with the wire splicer (01883)

supplied.

3. Connect GREEN wire to the right turn signal and stop wire.

4. Connect BROWN wire to tail light wire.

5. VERY IMPORTANT - connect WHITE wire to frame body

of towing vehicle. This is the common ground, and a clean

metal - to - metal contact must be made.

CAUTION: Many flashers for vehicle turn signals will not

carry the additional load of Kar Kaddy turn signals. If

normal operation does not occur when connected to the

Kar Kaddy, a heavy duty replacement flasher may be

obtained through auto parts outlets.

Put a mark on each side of the locking clamp on the

tie rod.

2. Loosen the locking nuts on each end of the tie rod and then

the six bolts on the tie rod locking clamp.

3. Turn the tie rod whichever direction is needed until you

have a front measurement of 1/32" to 1/16" less than the

back measurement.

4. Hold the tie rod and tighten the locknuts on each end.

5. Measure again to make sure the toe-in measurement has

not moved.

6. Tighten the locking clamp bolts while holding clamp

between the marks you previously put on the tie rod.

7. Reassemble the rest of the Kar Kaddy unit.

Have the tongue in a "hooked-up position with the ball

coupler 18" off the ground. Jack up the axle just enough to

allow you to take the wheels off and put blocks under the axle.

Take the wheels off.

Find two 24" long bars, these could be a level, a square or

a straight piece of iron bar. Clamp one bar tight to the face of

each hub with 12" extending forward and backward of the

center of the spindle. The bars must be parallel to the platform

the car sits on. Measure across the back end of the bars and

then across the front end. The front measurement should be

1/32" to 1/16" less than the back measurement. If the unit

needs to be adjusted, this must be done by adjusting the tie rod.
