IMPORTANT
DO NOT over tighten the lifting bracket hardware.
Over tightening can damage the weather seal, if
equipped.
The dock leveler is heavy. Use a lifting device and
chains with the appropriate lifting capacity and
reach.
Always use the lifting brackets provided with the unit
whenever lowering or lifting a dock leveler into or
out of a pit.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
damage to dock leveler and/or serious personal
injury or death.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT remove the shipping bands (B) around
the platform lip and leveler frame at this time. The

DO NOT remove the shipping bands (B) around

Poweramp ® dock levelers are designed with installation
in mind. Each unit is shipped with lifting brackets (A)
fastened to the platform side joists.
Prepare Dock Leveler
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 maybe attached to the
leveler frame before putting the dock leveler into
the pit.
5. Raise the leveler to allow the leveler sit on the
