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.
1. Disconnect the external lifting device and chains
from the lifting brackets.
2. Check that the leveler is flush with the dock floor
and that the platform lip contacts both lip keepers
evenly.
Note: If an excessive transition exists between the
dock floor and leveler and/or lip does not contact
both lip keepers evenly, contact Systems, LLC
Technical Services for further instructions.
3. Turn the main electrical power ON.
4. Pull lanyard ring (or press the RAISE button) and
hold until leveler platform is fully raised and the lip
extends.
5. Release lanyard ring (or the RAISE button). If no
transport vehicle present at the dock, the platform will
lower to the below-dock safety legs and the will lip
fold.
Note: If a transport vehicle is present, the platform
will lower until the lip rests on the transport vehicle’s
bed.
6. When the platform lowers to the below-dock
safety legs, the lip will fold. Pull lanyard ring (or press
and hold the RAISE button) until the lip rises just
enough to clear the lip keepers, then release the
lanyard ring (or RAISE button) to allow the platform
to lower to the cross-traffic (stored) position (lip
engages lip keepers).
7. Perform steps 4-6 at least four times to ensure
proper operation with no binding.
Put New Dock Leveler Into Service
8. Raise the platform fully. Hold the platform at this
position by pulling the lanyard ring (or pressing the
RAISE button) and move the maintenance prop to the
service (upright) position. Release the lanyard ring (or
RAISE button) to allow the platform to lower until it is
resting on the maintenance prop.
Unless the dock leveler is equipped with a tethered
remote, two people are required to engage the
maintenance prop: one person to operate the unit,
the other person to engage the maintenance prop.
In addition, 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.
9. Secure the maintenance prop with the
maintenance prop lock-out.
10. With the maintenance prop supporting the
platform, remove the lifting brackets.
11. Support the toe guards on each side of the
platform, then remove the cotter pin used in shipping
and carefully release the toe guards.
12. Release the maintenance prop by unlocking the
lock-out.
13. Pull lanyard ring (or press the RAISE button) and
hold until the maintenance prop drops to its stored
position. Release the lanyard ring (or RAISE button)
and allow the platform to lower fully.
