Remove these items from unit prior to installing unit in pit. DO NOT remove the shipping bands at this time.

pit are plumb and square with no bulges. Check dock height, location of imbed plates, and J-box.
Installing unit in pit
4. Place the shims for the front and rear of the leveler on the imbed plates in the pit floor. Position the shims so
that the legs will rest firmly on the shims when the unit is lowered into the pit. Shim so that dimension from top
of shims to dock floor is as shown. Recommended shim stock sizes see Figure 8
5. Install the leveler into the pit with the lifting brackets on the side of the platform. Perform the following checks
before setting leveler into pit.
A. Make sure the front and rear legs will rest securely on the shims set on the pit floor.
B. Make sure the top rear frame angle of the dock leveler is tight against the rear curb angle and flush with
the dock floor.
C. Make sure there is equal clearance between the sides of the leveler platform and the pit walls.
6. Remove the shipping bands from the unit.
7. Use fork truck (or other method) to raise dock leveler platform.
8. Position shims under the hinge tubes of the maintenance prop so that the front panel support weldment is
level. Recommended shim stock sizes see Figure 8
