The directional lever determines which direction the pedal’s internal gear will ratchet. When set correctly, pressing the pedal causes the dolly arms to close around the tire and lift the wheel off the ground incrementally.
When you want to lower the dolly arms (to release the tire), the lever is moved to the opposite position. This reverses the ratcheting direction, allowing the pedal to disengage and lower the arms smoothly.
The directional lever is mounted near the top front of the foot pedal assembly, often near or under the upper flat spring, which keeps it under tension. It’s usually a small tab or lever that can pivot or slide between two positions.
Why It Matters:
-
Safe operation: Prevents accidental dropping of the vehicle or improper lifting.
-
Mechanical efficiency: Ensures the self-loading mechanism works smoothly and predictably.
-
User control: Lets the operator determine whether the pedal is in lift mode or release mode.
