Before installing the dock leveler, read and follow the
Safety Practices on page 3. Failure to follow the Safety
Practices could result in death or serious injury.
insTaLLaTion of Dock LeVeLer
6' and 8' long levelers using a standard 19" subframe can
be field converted to allow installation in a 24" pit by adding
a 4" riser kit, Kelley Part No. 6004654. Install the new riser
leveling feet. The riser blocks should be welded to the front
frame supports prior to placing in the pit. See publication
#6003728 and page 46 in this manual.
1. Prior to lifting leveler make sure the shipping tie down
bolts seen in Fig. 14 are in place. Install two 3/4"-10UNC
load centering eye bolts into the front and rear of the top
plate and hoist leveler into pit. The dock leveler should
not be lifted in any other manner when place into the pit.
See Fig. 4.
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 3500 lbs for the lifting angle
used. Never allow anyone to stand on or near the dock
leveler when it is lifted or placed into the pit. Stand clear
of the dock leveler when it is placed into the pit. Failure to
follow this warning can allow the dock leveler to fall, tip,
or swing into people, resulting in death or serious injury.
Route power cord clear of edges and resting surfaces so
that it is not damaged during lifting and placement. Wires
may be routed up through the rear hinge until needed.

2. Position dock leveler in pit about 7" away from the rear
pit wall. Connect wires to junction box on the rear pit
wall. Place the free length of cord inside of frame area,
free of interference as the leveler is moved into the final
position. See Fig. 5 and wiring diagrams on page 15-24.
