INSTALLATION
10” pit models only:
Before installing the leveler, the
storage prop trunnion (
K
) in the rear embed channel
(
E
) must be shimmed (
B
) and welded to the embed
on the pit floor (
D
). See Figures 9, 10 and 11.
The minimum size of the shim that contacts the
leveler frame (i.e. the top shim of each shim stack)
must be at least 4” x 4” (101.6 mm x 101.6 mm) to
support the full width of the hoist cylinder/storage
prop weldment and to provide a shelf for a fillet
weld.
Use the thickest shim stock possible for stability
and weld penetration purposes. DO NOT use
multiple layers of 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) or thinner shim
stock.
1. Lube the three rear hinge pins (
H
) using grease,
then install the three pins in the rear embed only
halfway through the first hinge tube.
2. Lower the dock leveler down, centering the
leveler’s three hinges with the embed’s hinges.
• Insert the hinge pins. Work across the dock
leveler, installing one side, then the center, and
finally the other side. See Figure 13.
• Optional:
Use a bottle jack to help align the rear
of the dock leveler to the embed channel as
shown in Figure 12.
3. Once the three hinge pins are installed, install the
storage prop (
K
). Install the prop pin and clip.
4. Remove banding from hoist cylinder.
Note:
Do not connect hoist cylinder at this time.
Air must be purged from system; see pages 18-19.
