STEP 37. Use a grease gun to apply a general-purpose grease lubricant to both hinges on the dock leveler.
Grease fittings are located on the bottom sides of both hinges. Once lubricated, the Edge-O-Dock leveler is
ready for use.
RECORD OF SATISFACTORY CONDITION
After assembling and installing the dock leveler, and before using it for the first time, make a record
describing its appearance. Thoroughly photograph the unit from multiple angles, including all welds and anchor
points, and all labeling applied to it. Describe where each label is located. Collect all photographs and records
into a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This record documents satisfactory condition. Compare the
results of future inspections to this record to determine if the unit is in satisfactory condition. Do not use it
unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powder coat, do not
constitute changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied to all affected areas
as soon as damage occurs.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Slowly back the trailer up against the bumper boxes. Turn the engine off and set the truck’s emergency
brake. Position wheel chocks and trailer jacks (not included with this product) per OSHA requirements to
prevent trailer movement.
2. Remove the handle from the bumper box. Insert it into the socket on the left side of the leveler plate.
