When replacing the transformer make sure jumper wires
are installed per wiring diagrams, for appropriate phase
and voltage.
HyDraULic oiL Hoses
When removing hydraulic oil hose(s) remove from motor/
pump assembly first then from cylinder assembly.
When installing hydraulic oil hose(s) attach to cylinder
first, making sure O-ring is in place, then attach to pump/
motor assembly.
Be certain, before climbing into the dock leveler pit or
doing any maintenance or repair under the dock leveler,
that:
1) THE MAINTENANCE STRUT AND LIP LOCK ARE
SECURELY IN PLACE, [see Fig. 38] and
2) the power is disconnected and properly tagged or
locked off.
After replacing hose and/or motor pump assembly, run
pump/motor at least four (4) times with the maintenance
strut and lip lock in place. This is required to remove air
from the system. Check oil level and add oil if required.
Use extreme care when removing maintenance strut
and lip lock. Ramp and lip could move down rapidly if air
remains in the system. Run dock leveler four (4) times
through the complete operating cycle before placing
dock leveler into service.
MoTor/PUMP asseMbLy
To set the downward speed of the ramp:
1.1 Loosen needle valve locking nut. See Fig. 46.
1.2 Turn valve in 1/4 turn increments only. “IN” clockwise
will increase time, “OUT” counterclockwise will
decrease time. Tighten needle valve locking nut.
1.3 Raise ramp and lip.
1.4 Time ramp float down time. Ramp should lower to
below dock stop per chart at right.
1.5 Repeat 1.1 through 1.4 until correct.
adjust valve “oUT” in 1/4 turn increments only to
achieve proper lowering time.
