insTaLLaTion,
Improper installation of anchoring devices or installation
into aged or unsound concrete could result in death or
serious injury.
T
he dock face must be flush with curb angle to assure
proper bumper mounting.
19. Mount dock bumpers to face of dock. Downhill welds are
unacceptable. See Fig. 17 or 18.
20. Reconnect power. Store maintenance strut and lip lock.
Store dock leveler at dock level.
Manually support the lip when storing the lip lock. Stand
clear of the lip when removing support. The lip is free to
move downward when support is removed. Anyone in the
path of the lip when it moves downward can be struck.
Keep your hands, fingers and head away from the lip
when it is released. They could be struck by the lip or
caught between the lip and other parts of the dock leveler
resulting in death or serious injury.
DO NOT MOVE THE MAINTENANCE STRUT WITHOUT
AIR PRESSURE IN THE BAG OR A MECHANICAL LIFTING
DEVICE SUPPORTING RAMP. Raise the ramp using air
pressure or a mechanical device before storing the
maintenance strut. Stand clear of the ramp and lip when
air pressure or the mechanical lift is applied or removed.
The ramp and lip are free to move downward when the
support is removed. Removing the support without air
pressure will allow the ramp and lip to drop RAPIDLY. If
the dock leveler was raised using a mechanical device,
lower it using the same device.
21. Lift lip completely. Push lip lock inward as far as it will
go. Slowly lower lip. See instruction label on dock leveler
beam near lip lock.
