GENERAL INSTALLATION
Read and follow Safety Practices on page 2.
Failure to follow these safety practices could
result in property damage, serious injury or
death.
Installation should not be attempted by persons
not familiar with equipment and techniques
required
for
proper
installation.
Improper
installation could result in property damage,
serious injury or death.
1.
Using a 1,000# minimum capacity plate clamp,
clamp the lip plate at the center of the width.
(See Figure 12).
Inadequate lifting equipment or practices can
cause a load to fall unexpectedly. Make sure the
lifting chain or other lifting devices are in good
condition and have a rated capacity of at least
1000 lbs. for the lifting angle used. Never allow
anyone to stand on or near the dockleveler
when it is lifted or placed onto the dock. Stand
clear of the dockleveler when it is being placed
onto the dock. Failure to follow this warning can
allow the dockleveler to fall, tip, or swing into
people, causing death or serious injury.
Follow
plate
clamp
manufacturer’s
use
instructions. Failure to follow plate clamp
manufacturer’s use instructions could result in
property damage, death or serious injury.
2.
Position dockleveler mounting plate centered on
face of dock and 1/4” below top of curb channel,
transition plate, angle plate or steel approach
ramp.
(See Figure 12).
NOTICE!
The dockleveler must be plumb to operate properly.
Use shims or remove concrete as necessary to
make the mounting plate plumb.
3.
Weld two 2” welds at the upper outside edges of
the mounting plate and plug weld the two outer
holes in the mounting plate (if curb channel is
not used install two 5/8” DIA. anchors).
4.
Support dockleveler by inserting hand lever into
lever socket located on right side of ramp plate.
(See Figure 17).
5.
While one person holds the hand lever down as
shown in
(Figure 18),
with the use of the plate
clamp, carefully lower lip to the full back position
as shown in
(Figure 18).
Remove plate clamp.
6.
Using the hand lever, carefully lower the
dockleveler to the rest position as shown in
(Figure 22).
While lowering dockleveler to the
rest position it is necessary to have another
person use a pipe or similar device to hold the
lip extender link disengaged as shown in
(Figure
18).
This will prevent the lip from extending out
away from the dock.
Do not use hands or feet to hold lip extender link
disengaged. Use of hands or feet could cause a
pinch point resulting in death or serious injury.
Failure to keep lip extender link disengaged
while lowering dockleveler could result in
damage to the link.
7.
Weld four 1” long welds evenly spaced across
the top edge of mounting plate to secure
dockleveler.
8.
With the hand lever, hinge the ramp to the
upright position and back to rest position,
checking for freeness to ramp and mounting
plate hinge.
Do not allow lip and ramp to fall free. Allowing
the dockleveler to fall free could result in the
dockleveler coming free from the dock or
damaging linkage, resulting in property damage,
serious injury and/or death.
Do not allow lip to extend out away from the
dock before all welding and anchor installation
is complete. Operating the dockleveler before
all installation is complete could result in
property damage, death or serious injury.
