LIP suPPORT INsTALLATION
Check the front of the subframe. Make sure the
front of the subframe is connected by structural
members to the rear subframe and can support the
full weight of the leveler and traffic. If not, STOP;
do not install the Hydraulic Conversion Kit, call
APS Resource at 262-518-1000.
The Hydraulic Conversion Kit requires lip supports
for safe operation of the dock leveler. If the dock
leveler to be converted does not have lip supports,
install the lip supports included with the HTC Kit.
1. Install lip supports if applicable.
2. Carefully lower the lip to the closed position.
3. With a hoist lower the ramp until it is perfectly even
with the loading dock floor. This step is important
to determine the resting or pendant position of the
leveler when it is not in use.
4. With the deck even to the dock floor level and the
lip closed in the pendant position, tack weld the
lip supports on to the front of the frame. The lip
supports must be positioned in such a way as to
allow the fully closed lip and deck to rest evenly on
both lip supports. See Figure 15.
5. With the hoist, raise the leveler and support it on
both maintenance struts, then fully weld the lip
supports in position.
