If additional troubleshooting assistance is required, contact Systems, LLC
Technical Services with equipment serial number or customer order number (CO#).
It is recommended and good safety practice to use
an additional means to support the dock platform
and lip anytime when physically working in front of
or under the dock leveler. This additional means
may include, but is not limited to a boom truck, fork
truck, stabilizing bar or equivalent.
The maintenance prop MUST be in the service
position when working under the dock leveler.
For maximum protection, use an OSHA approved
locking device to lock the maintenance prop in
the service position. Only the person servicing
the equipment should have the key to unlock the
maintenance prop.
Always post safety warnings and barricade the
work area at dock level and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock leveler before
maintenance is complete.
A hard hat or other applicable head protection
should always be worn when working under or
around a dock leveler.
Always stand clear of platform lip when working in
front of the dock leveler.
