OTHER IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
NEVER be under the dock leveler platform or lip
without:
• Installing the Safe-T-StrutTM or other supporting
device.
• If lip needs to be extended, follow procedures
shown under Safety Devices on the following
page.
• Turning OFF power to the control box.
• Locking out and tagging out the main power
source, as shown under Safety Warnings on
preceding page.
• Before starting installation or maintenance,
check and follow the safety procedures of the
facility where the dock leveler is being installed.
• NEVER enter a truck/trailer until its brakes are set,
air has been dumped from air ride suspension
(if applicable), and you have visually inspected
to be sure truck/trailer is securely held in place
by a vehicle restraint or wheel chock per OSHA
regulations.
• NEVER operate the leveler with you, anyone, or
anything on, or in front of the leveler, or without
a truck/trailer parked in position, or from on the
truck/trailer bed.
• DO NOT operate with anyone under platform or
in front of the lip.
• When leveler is not in use, ALWAYS store it so
that it is supported by the lip supports and that
it is level with the surrounding dock floor.
• If a malfunction does occur, always call your
authorized Rite-Hite service representative
immediately.
ALWAYS barricade the dock leveler at ground
level and dock level from any form of traffic when
maintenance is required.
Inspect the dock leveler monthly to ensure that
there are no broken or worn parts which could cause
injury to personnel or damage to the equipment.
