Install the guard rails as shown in “Figure 6: Guard Rail Installation” on page 11.
In some applications such as full depth pits, platform mounted guard rails can create a potentially hazardous
condition by creating a pinch point between the guard rail horizontal bars and the edge of the pit floor. It may be
necessary to provide protection around the perimeter of the pit. Consult applicable safety and building codes.
It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure protection is provided for the operator (i.e. access chains) to prevent
falling off of the dock lift when the unit is above ground/floor level.

Check the oil in the power unit reservoir and add if necessary (See “MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION” on
18.
Clean up any debris and/or spilled oil from the area. Check all hydraulic fittings for leaks.
19. INITIAL SET-UP:
It is important to purge air from the hydraulic system. To do this, raise the unit to its maximum
raised height and allow the power unit to run for a minimum of 30 seconds additional time. Fully lower the unit.
Discontinue use of the unit for 20 minutes to allow air to dissipate from the oil in the reservoir.
NOTE:
Units equipped with an up travel limit switch will not reach their “maximum raised height” unless the limit
switch is removed. The up travel limit switch must be removed to purge the air.
DO NOT remove the
up travel limit switch until first assuring there are no obstructions in the operating path of the
equipment.
After the air has been purged, lower the Dock Lift to its desired raised height and reinstall the
limit switch.
NOTE:
At the completion of the installation ensure that all labels are and will continue to be readily visible to
the operators and people working with or around the equipment. If the visibility any of the label(s) are
compromised for any reason then; either 1) Rectify the situation to allow the label to be readily visible 2)
Order replacement label(s) from Pentalift for installation in a location that does facilitate complete visibility.
