WARNING! 1. The SizzrDok loading dock is designed for use with stable, uniformly distributed loads on a solid level floor. DO NOT concentrate the load at one point on the pallet or platform. ALWAYS uni- formly distribute the load over the supporting surface. DO NOT use the dock lift for any purpose other than its intended use.
RESPONSIBILITY OF OWNERS AND USERS Inspection and Maintenance The device shall be inspected and maintained in proper working order in accordance with Presto- ECOA owner’s manual. Removal from Service Any device not in safe operating condition such as, but not limited to, excessive leakage, missing rollers, pins, or fasteners, any bent or cracked structural members, cut or frayed electric, hydrau- lic, or pneumatic lines, damaged or malfunctioning controls or safety devices, etc.

IINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Check pit for conformity to installation drawing provided. 2. Locate the power unit. Note: It is suggested that power unit be installed prior to the installation of the lift. This allows the electrical work to be completed ahead of time. Also, it permits flushing of the hydraulic lines with the power unit prior to connecting the lift.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued) 12. Disengage the maintenance safety bars and lower the lift to check for proper height. The plat- form should be flush with the curb angles around the pit. 13. Operate the lift through a few cycles holding the ‘’DOWN’’ button on for 10-20 seconds after the lift is fully lowered.

SCISSOR BLOCKING INSTRUCTIONS (continued) To Engage the Maintenance Bars; SLD: 4. REMOVE ALL LOADS from the platform and depress the “up” button to raise the dock lift to its fully raised position. 5. Position each removable maintenance bar so that it hits the inside of the roller channel, and the inside of the base end angle.
RECOMMENDED PIT LAYOUT A general layout for a typical pit mounted SizzrDok loading dock is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows some typical layouts for the SizzrDok. The 8’’ diameter bumper posts, shown in various details, are strongly recommended. They prevent damage to the SizzrDok loading dock by pre- venting a truck from accidentally backing into a raised or partially raised lift.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The load capacity rating as stamped on the nameplate of your SizzrDok designates the maxi- mum lifting capacity with a uniformly distributed load. This capacity must never be exceeded, as permanent damage may result. Lifting loads that exceed the rated capacity will result in excessive wear or damage to the lift.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Raise the lift and engage the maintenance safety bars before beginning any inspection or work on the unit. (A) Monthly Inspections 1. Check oil level, It should be about 1’’ below top of the tank with the lift in fully lowered posi- tion.
HYDRAULIC SECTION When the operator wants to raise the platform, he or she presses the “UP” button. This starts the electric motor, which runs the hydraulic pump. Oil from the reservoir is sucked in through the suc- tion filter and into the pump. The pump delivers the pressurized oil into the valve block. The oil flows through the check valve before entering the cylinders.
