1 Before mounting side frames, install canopy mounting
brackets (A) to top of side frames (B)
• Position bracket so notches at top of bracket are
flush with the top of the wood, side pad backer (C).
• Secure in place with 6 hex head wood screws (J)
provided
NOTE:
Brackets (A) are not part of the overall unit
width Unit width when mounting side frames should
be measured from outside edge of side frames
Brackets add ≈ 1/4in [6mm] to unit's overall footprint.
Allowance is accounted for in the header installation
2 Measure and mark:
• Measure dock door opening width (D) Divide in
half and mark the centerline of the opening at
dock level (E)
• Measure unit width and divide in half Compare to
PAF (Product Application Form) specs
• Measure from door centerline (E) to half of the head
frame dimension (F) and mark the outside wall (at
the bottom of the door opening or at dock level)
This mark is for the outside edge of the side frame
• Measure (at dock level) from this mark (outside
edge of the side frame) across the door opening to
the unit width (G) Mark this measurement for the
outside edge of the second side frame
• Consult PAF or sales representative for mounting
height to the bottom of the side pads (H) Measure
up from grade on the dock face and mark
NOTE:
Typically, the bottom of the side pad is
mounted at dock height Some applications may
require mounting them at a different location.
Example:
When dock bumpers are mounted
above dock height or above the pit floor (on vertical
leveler applications) it may be required to mount
the bottom of the side pads/side frames at a height
even with the top of the bumpers
3 Dry fit and shim:
• Using carpenter’s level, plumb up the wall the height
of the side frame and mark the outside edges of the
side frames on the wall at top
• Measure full width, etc Using a plumb bob or
carpenter’s level make sure that the outside wall
is plumb from the highest point on the side frame
location to dock level
• Shim side frames as required
