Autoquip TRUCK LEVELER - SHALLOW PIT MOUNT - Manual (Page 14)

14
NOTE: These blocking instructions are for pit mounted truck levelers. Surface mounted
truck levelers do not require any under-platform maintenance and therefore have no
blocking instructions.
DANGER !
To avoid personal injury, NEVER go under the lift platform or perform
maintenance until the load is removed and the platform is securely blocked
up on both raised corners.
1. Remove all load from the platform and block the entrance to the ramp to prevent the
entrance of a vehicle while servicing. Raise the platform to the full upper position.
2. Open the service cover, go into the pit, and place 4” x 4” supports under the
platform, as shown in Figure 7. Supports must be 36” long and must be oak, ash, or
other similar hardwood in good condition.
3. Lower the platform by depressing the “DOWN” button on the controller until the
platform is securely resting on the supports. Continue to depress the “DOWN”
button 5 to 10 seconds to relieve all hydraulic pressure in the cylinders.
4. To remove the supports, raise the platform by depressing the “UP” button on the
controller to provide enough room to remove the supports.
