Install Control Panel and Wiring

DO NOT connect the vehicle restraint electrical 

wiring and ground connections until all welding has 

been completed.

DO NOT ground welding equipment to any electrical 

components of the vehicle restraint. Always ground 

welding equipment to the vehicle restraint base, 

NEVER to the moving components. 

Failure to follow these instructions may damage the 

motor, hydraulics, wiring, and/or control panel.

Make sure that the power source has been locked 

out and tagged according to OSHA regulations and 

approved local electrical codes.

All electrical work — including the installation of the 

disconnect panel, control panel, and final connections 

to the pit junction box — must be performed by a 

certified electrician and conform to all local and 

applicable national codes.

bottom of control panel-to-dock floor distance (

C

) is 

48 in. (1219 mm). See Figure 11. 

2.  Install electrical disconnect panel (

A

) if not already 

installed. Disconnect panel supplied by others. 

3.  Install and connect the control wiring.  

4.  Connect the control wiring to the field wires in the 

restraint junction box. Refer to the electrical diagrams 

supplied with the vehicle restraint. See pages 32-33 

for wiring troubleshooting if needed. 

5.  Seal the conduit in any location where the conduit 

crosses over temperature zones that could produce 

condensation.

Optional:

 Install spacers between the wall and  

enclosure to provide temperature insulation and air 

flow. If the conduit could fill with water, a drip leg 

may be needed.

6.  Install placard (see page 18).

Where indicated, all components must be connected 

to a SAFETY EARTH GROUND that conforms to 

the 1999 National Electrical Code Section 250-50 

section (a) or section (c) for a grounding electrode 

system.
