cLean piT KiT

The clean pit kit is used to raise the front end of the bag
support pan assembly. This allows for easy access to the pit
for cleaning of the pit area.
Be certain, before climbing into the dock leveler pit or
doing any maintenance or repair under the dock leveler,
that: 1) THE MAINTENANCE STRUT AND LIP LOCK ARE
SECURELy PINNED IN PLACE [see page 22] and 2) The
power is disconnected and properly tagged or locked off.
The clean pit kit as shown will automatically raise the bag
support pan assembly when the dock leveler it rested on the
maintenance post. Reference the chart on page 34 for the
upper shackle location on the chain to determine the proper
link for connecting the kit to the ring on the deck.
During normal operation, the spring extends as the bag
inflates. See Fig. 32
When pinned on the maintenance strut, the spring will raise
the bag support pan assembly as the bag deflates. Once the
bag pan support assembly stops moving, there is then easy
access for cleaning the pit or installing the bag removal tools
for removing the bag. See Fig. 33
