8. TEST OPERATION
With the overhead door open, test operate the Vertical
Storing Dock Leveler as follows to ensure that all functions
are operating correctly and adjustments are properly set.
1.
Shut off the power to the dock and the Blue Genius
TM
control
station. Using a crane, boom, or similar type of lowering
equipment, carefully lower the deck until it is fully horizontal.
Then turn the power back on.
2.
After both the dock and control station have completed the
‘power on’ cycle, touch and hold the ’Deck’ touch button to
raise the deck and lip. When the deck reaches its fully
raised position and stops, it must be properly upright
(slightly past vertical). If not, the deck lift cylinder requires
readjusting. This is accomplished by removing the cylinder
pin, loosening the setscrew and turning the threaded
adjustable rod eye of the cylinder: counterclockwise out of
the cylinder rod to lengthen the cylinder, or clockwise into
the cylinder rod to shorten it. The set screw must then be
tightened to lock the rod eye in position. (See Figure 1)
3.
Touch and hold the ‘Down’ touch button to allow the dock
leveler deck, with the lip extended, to descend.
4.
Release the ‘Down’ touch button. The motion of the deck
must stop at any position when the button is released.
5.
Touch and hold the ‘Lip’ touch button. The deck will remain
stationary and the lip will lower.
6.
Release the ‘Lip’ touch button, then press it again. The lip
will resume the extended position.
7.
Operate the ‘Down’ button. The deck and the extended lip
will descend to the bottom of the pit and stop at the fully
below dock level position.
Note:
If a transport vehicle had been parked in place
against the dock bumpers, the lip would have come to rest
on the vehicle load bed, allowing loading / unloading to
begin.
8.
Perform a final inspection and determine that all work is
completed satisfactorily. Clean the pit and work area
thoroughly and apply touch-up paint to weld burn areas,
scratches, etc.
9.
Test operate the unit through several cycles of all functions.
10.
Mount the Owner’s Manual securely in a place where it can
be easily and immediately accessed by the operator.
Control Box Illustration
Never allow a transporter vehicle to depart when the deck is fully
deployed with the lip resting on the surface of the transporter
vehicle load bed. Serious damage to the dock leveler and / or
personal injury could occur.
Never enter the pit area without locking out the electrical power
supply and engaging the maintenance strut.
