to 12" above dock level. Release the button before the 

ramp reaches its highest position.

2.  As  ramp  is  lowering,  walk  onto  the  ramp  and  pull  the 

BDC chain located in the middle of the ramp until it is 

fully  extended.  hold  the  chain  until  the  ramp  passes 

below dock level. See Fig. 28.

3.  Release the BDC chain.

position.

5.3  Be certain that the lip is not extended and that dock 

level  support  legs  are  in  position  on  their  supports 

before releasing vehicle. Ramp should be level with 

dock floor.
