INsTALLATION
Be sure to safely secure ramp with proper hoists
and safety struts before doing any work under the
leveler. Failure to do so could allow the ramp to fall,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Strut should be positioned in such a way as to not
interfere or make contact with other moving parts.
1. Secure all areas around the dock leveler to be
converted. Both the front and rear areas around the
dock leveler should be blocked-off and secured.
2. Raise the ramp to the open position. Raise the lip to
its maximum open position and safely secure it.
3. Please the OEM safety bar in the factory
recommended position.
4. Weld the maintenance strut hanger to the underside
of the ramp per dimensions shown; or adjust
position as required for proper installation. Use
touch-up paint as required. See Figures 3 and 4.
5. Weld the subframe bracket to the inside of the
subframe as shown. Use touch-up paint as
required. See Figure 5.
6. Place the upper strut tube into the lower strut tube.
Make sure the decal on the lower tube, and the tab
on the upper tube, both face outward toward the
driveway as shown. See Figure 6.
