6. Remove and discard the shipping tie down bolts located
at the lower end of the hinged lip assembly. See Fig.
14.
Before welding the dock leveler supports to the front
curb angle make sure that the dock leveler support legs
line up with the "V" pocket in the dock leveler support
angle. Move dock levelers support right or left for the
necessary alignment.
7. Tack weld the front dock leveler supports to the front curb
angle with 3/16" welds as shown in Fig. 12.
8. With the lip pendant insert 24" long 1/2" extensions
between lip and lip rod onto dock leveler support leveling
screw. See Fig. 12. Using a 1/2" drive (1/2" ratchet or
impact tool) turn each leveling screw counter-clockwise
until the top of the levelers is flush with the finished floor/
pit curb steel where the overhead door meets the floor.
See Fig. 11.
9. Weld the rear frame angle to the rear curb angle using
1/4" bevel joints in the transition plate as your guide. See
Fig. 10.
10. After the rear hinge is welded check that all rear leveling
legs are in contact with the floor of the pit. Once all legs
are in contact with floor, tighten each leg leveling screw
counter-clockwise to 25-40 ft. lbs.
