angle. Move dock levelers support right or left for the
necessary alignment.

between lip and lip rod onto dock leveler support leveling
screw. See Fig. 12. Using a 1/2" drive (1/2" ratchet or

1/4" bevel joints in the transition angle as your guide.

inspecting that the leveling screws are 1/4" from the top
of the transition angle. Once all legs are in contact with
floor, tighten each leg leveling screw counter-clockwise
to 25-40 ft. lbs.
