INSTALLATION
1. Remove any bumpers that may be banded, or
bolted to the frame of the dock leveler.
DO NOT remove the shipping bands (B) around
the platform lip and leveler frame at this time.
NOTE: Overall width of platform and lifting brackets
(A) must be kept to a minimum to prevent
interference between the lifting brackets and
the pit walls as the dock leveler is lowered into
the pit.
2. Make sure the mounting hardware of lifting brackets
(A) is snug. The brackets should pivot relatively
freely on the mounting cap screw. DO NOT over-
tighten.
3. Attach lifting chains to lifting brackets (A) and to
a lifting device (i.e., hoist or fork truck) having the
appropriate lifting capacity and reach.
4. Remove wood blocks that are attached to the
leveler frame before putting the dock leveler into
the pit.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT over-tighten the lifting bracket hardware.
Over-tightening can damage the weather seal, if
equipped.
