6. VEHICLE RESTRAINT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Clean all dirt and debris from the driveway and dock face where
the vehicle restraint is to be installed.
2.
To ensure maximum strength, the vehicle restraint should be
installed on a poured concrete dock face or concrete pad. For
cement block construction or a dock face with poor quality
concrete, obtain custom lag plates and/or lag anchors from the
manufacturer. If an asphalt driveway is broken, cracked, or
otherwise damaged (i.e. missing pieces), a 6” deep concrete
pad should be poured as a replacement.
3.
Using suitable hoisting equipment, position the vehicle restraint
square against the dock face, and centered with the door
frame.
4.
Keep the vehicle restraint base plate at a 90 degree angle to the
dock face and place a sufficient thickness of shims (not
supplied) between the driveway surface and the base plate’s
outer edge. Shims must be a minimum 13” x 6” in size and be
permanently welded together and to the base-plate.
1.
With the vehicle restraint properly positioned and using back
plates as a template, drill six holes 5/8” in diameter and 6” deep
in the dock face concrete. Clean out holes and install anchors
and lag bolts (supplied with the restraint) with a torque of
110ft/lbs (149Nm). Optional anchoring to concrete pad rather
than wall plate.
Refer to Section 7: Electrical and Hydraulic Installation
1.
Securely mount the exterior traffic lights and signs on the
exterior wall adjacent to the doorway at approximately 84”
above the driveway.
1.
Permanently mount the sensor wand onto the sensor switch
with the set screws provided. When at rest, the wand must
be in the forward position. Tighten fasteners securely.
2.
Rotate the wand (move backward) to make contact with the
dock face. Contact point must not be above the top edge of
the pit opening and floor If the contact point is higher, modify
the wand.
Do not install, operate, or service the TL85 Vehicle Restraint unless trained and authorized to do so. Read all safety information and
instructions in this manual.
When restraint is being installed, place adequate barriers to prevent vehicle traffic from entering the work area.
Follow proper lockout / tagout procedures.
