2. Measure the dock door opening. Divide this
measurement in half and mark the centerline of the
opening at dock level. (See Figure 2)
3. Measure the head member overall width and divide
this measurement in half.
4. Measure from the door centerline half of the head
member dimension and mark the outside wall at the
bottom of the door opening or at dock level. This
mark is for the outside edge of the side member.
(See Figure 2)
Note: For units that are offset on the door
opening, install side members with the proper
Offset.
Reference the Product Application Form (PAF)
or consult the sales representative for the
appropriate mounting height. Typically, the
bottom of the side pad/side frame is mounted at
dock height, but some applications may require
mounting them at a different location.
(Example: When dock bumpers are mounted
above dock height or above the pit floor on
vertical leveler applications, it may be required
to mount the bottom of the side pads/side
frames at a height even with the top of the
bumpers).
5. Measure from the mark for the outside edge of the
side member across the door opening the full
specified unit width (at dock level). Mark this
measurement for the outside edge of the second
side member. (See Figure 2). Using carpenter’s
level, plumb up the wall the height of the side
member and mark the outside edge of the side
member on the wall at top. Measure full width, etc.
Using a plumb bob or carpenter’s level make sure
that the outside wall is plumb from the highest point
on the side member location to dock level. Shim the
side members as required.
6. See “Bracketing Details” section of these
installation instructions for details on how to install
the brackets that will be shipped with the side
members.
7. Attach one side of the side members to the building
wall first. Make sure this member is mounted
correctly and plumb. Refer to “Fastening Methods”
section of these instructions for the correct
fastening method for the building style the side
members are being installed on. Attach the second
side member, using the first member and the marks
on the wall as a reference. When finalizing the side
members unit width, as noted in Step 1, make sure
that the distance between the inside faces of the
mounting brackets are least +1/8” wider than unit
width but no more than 1/4” for ease of installation.
Unit widths outside this range may be adjusted after
by loosening side member clip brackets and header
anchors. For best results, keep the unit width of the
mounting brackets as close to above specifications.
(See Figure 3)
(NOTE: If 4" side frame widths are being installed,
go to section “4" Side Frame Width” for special
instructions)
