INSTALLATION
17. Shim and weld the maintenance prop:
a. Install shims under maintenance prop ( D )
where prop attaches to leveler frame. Make sure
prop is solidly shimmed.
b. Raise maintenance prop ( D ) to the service
(upright) position and lock prop in this position
using an OSHA approved locking device.
18. Install shims at locations ( B and E ) using an
appropriate shimming method (see Figure 13). Both
platform cylinder trunnions must be solidly shimmed
the entire length of the trunnion. Make sure the
trunnions are level from side-to-side as well as from
front-to-back.
19. Finish weld all shims using a fillet weld.
• Weld all shims within each shim stack to each
other, then weld the shim stack to the leveler
frame.
• Weld the front leveler frame shim stacks to the
front pit curb steel. DO NOT use the maintenance prop to support the
raised platform until the maintenance prop has
been properly shimmed and welded. The shims
must be welded to each other, and also to the
leveler frame.
Make sure the platform is properly supported in the
raised position before entering the pit to finish weld
the shims.
