OPERATION
Operational Precautions
Once the vehicle restraint has been activated, the
dock attendant must visually inspect to assure that
the restraint hook has properly engaged the Rear
Impact Guard (RIG) bar.
Proper engagement occurs when the hook is able
to travel vertically, contacting the bottom edge
of the horizontal member of the RIG, without
obstruction.
Stay clear of dock leveler and vehicle restraint
when transport vehicle is entering or leaving dock
area.
DO NOT move or use the dock leveler or restraint
if anyone is under or in front of leveler.
Keep hands and feet clear of pinch points. Avoid
putting any part of your body near moving parts.
Only trained personnel should operate the dock
leveler and vehicle restraint.
DO NOT use a broken or damaged dock leveler
or vehicle. Make sure proper service and
maintenance procedures have been performed on
the equipment before using.
Transport vehicle wheels must be chocked unless
the vehicle restraint is used. Never remove the
wheel chocks until loading/unloading is finished
and transport vehicle driver has been given
permission to leave.
Make sure platform lip rests on the transport
vehicle bed with at least 4 in. (102 mm) of overlap.
Maintain a safe distance from side edges of leveler
during the loading/unloading process.
