OPERATION
End Loading/Unloading
1. Before activating dock leveler, check to make sure
the transport vehicle is positioned squarely against
dock bumpers. Ensure lip will avoid contact with
transport vehicle frame, sides and cargo during dock
leveler activation. If contact is likely or observed,
reposition transport vehicle.
2. Instruct driver to remain at the dock until the
loading or unloading process has been completed.
3. Chock the transport vehicle wheels, or use a
vehicle restraint if available.
Figure 19
4. If transport vehicle bed is at or above dock floor
level, leave leveler at the cross-traffic position and
proceed with loading or unloading (see Figure 19).
If transport vehicle bed is below the dock floor level,
continue with Step 5.
5. Pull lanyard ring or Press RAISE button to
position the platform high enough to clear the lip
keepers, but not high enough to extend the lip.
6. Walk out on the leveler, pull and hold the below
dock control ring (located in the recess at the front
of the platform). This will cause the lip to extend
away from the lip keepers and the safety legs to fold
allowing the leveler to lower to the full below dock
position. See Figure 18.
7. When the platform lip clears the lip keepers,
continue to hold the pull chain as the leveler lowers
to the below-dock position. The platform will drift
down to the full below-dock position.
8. Allow the platform to drift down to the full below-
dock position.

9. Proceed with loading or unloading (see Figure
20).
Note: When end unloading is finished and access
to the rest of the transport vehicle is still required,
the platform lip will need to be extended. See Ramp
Loading/Unloading Instructions on page 28 for further
instructions.
10. When end loading or unloading is finished, raise
the platform by pressing and holding the RAISE
button or holding the pull ring until the lip folds
enough to land in the lip keepers, then release the
RAISE button or pull ring. The platform will return to
the cross-traffic position.
11. Remove chocks from transport vehicle wheels, or
release the vehicle restraint if used.
12. Indicate to driver that the transport vehicle may
leave the dock.
