6. Push the Raise button to the platform high
enough to clear the lip keepers, but not high
enough to extend the lip.
7. Walk out on the leveler, pull and hold the safety
leg retract pull ring (B) (located in the recess at

extend away from the lip keepers and the cross
traffic safety legs to fold to allow the leveler to
lower to the below dock position.

continue to hold the pull chain as the leveler
lowers to the below-dock service position. The
platform will drift down to the full below-dock
position.
9. Proceed with loading or unloading.
NOTE: When end unloading is finished and access
to the rest of the truck/trailer is still required,
the platform lip will need to be extended. See
Ramp Loading/Unloading Instructions on
page 19 for further instructions.
10. When the loading or unloading is finished, return
the dock leveler platform to the cross-traffic
(stored) position.

lip keepers. Release Raise button, leveler will
return to the stored or cross traffic position.
