Maintenance Safety Precautions
Hydraulic and electrical power must be OFF when 
servicing the equipment. For maximum protection, 
use an OSHA approved locking device to lock 
out all power sources. Only the person servicing 
the equipment should have the key to unlock the 
device.
ALWAYS disconnect electrical power source and 
ground wire before welding on dock leveler.
DO NOT ground welding equipment to any 
hydraulic or electrical components of the dock 
leveler. Always ground to the dock leveler frame.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in 
damage to dock leveler and/or serious personal 
injury or death.
ALWAYS stand clear of dock leveler lip when 
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.
Access under the dock leveler may be required 
to service the vehicle restraint. The maintenance 
prop must be in the upright “service” 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.
