working in front of the dock leveler. Failure to do this
may result in serious personal injury or death.
DO NOT grind or weld if hydraulic fluid or other
flammable liquid is present on the surface to be
ground or welded
DO NOT grind or weld if uncontained hydraulic fluid
or other flammable liquid is present. Stray sparks
can ignite spills or leaks near the work area. Always
clean up the oil leaks and spills before proceeding
with grinding or welding.
Always keep a fire extinguisher of the proper type
nearby when grinding or welding.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Always post safety warnings and barricade the
work area at dock level and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the unit before maintenance is
complete.
The platform maintenance prop must be in the
“service” (upright) position when working under
the dock leveler. For maximum protection, use
an OSHA approved locking device to lock the
maintenance prop in the service position. Only the
person servicing the equipment should have the
key to unlock the device.
