FIGURE #4—

Lag and Anchor Bolts

 

 
 
 
All anchor bolts must be installed in accordance 
with  the  manufacturer’s  instructions  and  local 
codes  and  regulations.      Improper  installation 
may result in serious injury or death.   
 
Do  not  install  anchor  bolts  in  cracks  or              
expansion  joints  in  concrete.    Anchors  may 
come  loose  or  pull  out  and  the  dock  lift  would 
become  unstable  and  may  result  in  serious                 
injury or death.   

 

7.  Drill  anchor  hole  to  diameter  and  depth  per  the 

manufacturers specifications.  Use a min. of 3/4” 
diameter  anchor  bolts.      All  anchor  bolt  lengths 
must suit local codes and conditions.  Type and 
depth of concrete will determine type and length 
of anchor bolts required.  (See 

FIGURE #3

8.  With  the  nut  and  washer  in  place,  insert  the    

anchor  bolt  and  tap  into  position.    Tighten  to 
manufacturers specifications.   

 
 
 

Keep all hydraulic oil and lines free of dirt, moisture 
and any type of contamination.  Be sure to flush all 
hydraulic  lines  before  connecting  External  Power 
lines  as  they  could  have  become  contaminated    
during shipping or installation.  Dirt or moisture can 
damage the pump or valves in the hydraulic system 
or cause other problems in the hydraulic system. 
 

9.  Install  the  power  unit  in  its  desired  location.     

External  power  units  are  shipped  standard  with 
mounting  brackets  to  install  to  the  floor.    The 
brackets can either be bolted through, welded to 
a  steel  floor  or  anchor  bolted  into  a  concrete 
floor.    Optional  wall  mount  brackets  are        
available.   

10. Connect  all  hydraulic  lines  as  required.    Make 

sure to blow out all lines prior to connection with 
compressed air or flush with hydraulic fluid.   

 

 
 

Use correct hydraulic fluid as stated in this manual.  
(See  FIGURE  #  )    If  incompatible  hydraulic  oil  is 
used damage to the hydraulic system could occur. 
 

 
 

Make sure that all hydraulic lines are free of the 
dock  lift  during  operation.    A  pinched  or  cut    
hydraulic line could  cause  the lift table  to  lower 
suddenly causing serious injury or death. 
 

 
 

Never  place  any  body  part  near  the  hydraulic 
system  to  test  or  look  for  damaged  or  leaking 
hydraulic lines or equipment.  Exposure to high 
pressure hydraulic fluid will pierce through skin 
and enter the blood stream causing death.   
 

 
 

Only  qualified  electricians  are  to  work  with  any    
electrical  parts.      The  dock  lift  power  supplies 
can  be  up  to  460  Volts  AC,  this  voltage  will 
cause death. 
 
 
 
Fusing  requirements  are  shown  in  FIGURE  #5, 
all  fuse  sizes  are  calculated  to  work  safely  per 
NEC  specifications.    Failure  to  fuse  properly 
could  result  in  fire  or  electrical  shock.  Serious 
injury or death could occur. 
 

11. See  fusing  table 

(FIGURE  #5) 

for  correct  fuse 

sizing.    Always  use  the  correct  fuse  and  wire 
size for connections.   

12. Follow all wiring diagrams located in this manual 

to make permanent electrical connections. 

13. Always verify that in 3-phase motors the motor is 

turning  in  the  correct  direction  as  shown  on  the 
motor  housing  or  pump.    If  the  motor  is  not    
turning  in  the  correct  direction  STOP,  do  not   
operate.    Change  any  two  of  the  three-phase 
leads to change motor direction.  If this does not
