OPERATION
4. Raise the PowerStop restraint fully by pushing
and holding the ENGAGE button on Automatic/
Hydraulic units or pulling latch release with the
handle provided on the Mechanical PowerStops.
NOTE: The restraint weldment should raise to the
top of the track, contacting the track stop.
NOTE: PowerStops equipped with Automatic Lights
should have a Green light inside and Red
light outside when raised unless equipped
with optional upper limit switch. A visible
or audible alarm will signal the restraint
weldment has reached the top of the track
and may not have properly engaged the
ICC bumper, if present.
5. Lower the PowerStop restraint fully by pushing
and holding the RELEASE button. The restraint
weldment should lower fully until the latch release
is engaged.
NOTE: PowerStops equipped with Automatic Lights
should have a Red light inside and green
light outside when the restraint weldment is
stored.
6. If PowerStop restraint cannot properly restraint
the vehicle due to missing or defective ICC (RIG)
bar advise driver of the transport vehicle and dock
personnel. The transport vehicle must be secured
against movement by other methods. For levelers
interlocked with the restraint, turn the selector
switch to Bypass to allow use of the dock leveler
and proper light changes inside and outside the
building (where equipped with lights).
1. Disconnect the external lifting device and lifting
brackets.
2. Remove latch shipping bolt from latch mechanism
on both manual and hydraulic models. This
prevents PowerStop from raising.
3. Turn the main electrical power ON (Hydraulic
Only).
Operating Instructions

when freight carrier is entering or leaving dock
area.
DO NOT move or use the dock leveler 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 restraint. Make sure proper service and
maintenance procedures have been performed on
leveler 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 driver has been given permission to
leave.
Make sure platform lip rests on the transport
vehicale’s bed with at least 4 in. (102 mm) of

Once the PowerStop vehicle restraint has been
activated, the dock attendant must visually inspect

engaged the ICC (RIG) bar. Serious personal injury
or death may result.
Proper engagement occurs when the hook is able
to travel vertically, contacting the bottom edge
of the horizontal member of the ICC bar (RIG),
without obstruction.
