Quarterly Maintenance
Regular maintenance must be performed on a weekly
and quarterly schedule.
Weekly Maintenance
• Operate the dock leveler through the complete
operating cycle to maintain lubrication.
NOTE: To thoroughly inspect the platform hinge area,
position the platform in the full below-dock
position.
• Inspect the platform hinge and the lip hinge areas.
The hinge areas must be kept free of dirt and
debris. Build-up of foreign material in the hinge
areas will increase wear and cause abnormal
operation.
• Lubricate the following areas with light-weight
machine oil:
(B)— Lip maintenance prop pivot
(C)— Lip link pivots
(F)— E-Z release bellcrank pivot
(H)— Hold-down pivot/pulley
(J)— Safety leg linkage pivots
(L)— Hold down-to-platform pin
• Lubricate the following areas with white lithium
grease:
(A)— Lip hinge area (inject grease into all the lip
hinge grease fittings)
(D)— Platform hinge area (inject grease into all the
platform hinge grease fittings)
(E)—Lift arm roller bushing
(G)— Lift arm pivot
(K)— Lip assist pin
