6. Anchor the roller track plate to the dock face using
the (15) 5/8" dia. x 4" long anchors provided. The
anchor bolts must be torqued to 60 ft-lbs to achieve
maximum holding strength. See Figure 3. If the top
portion of the roller track plate is in contact with the
front pit curb angle, weld across the top of roller track
plate to the curb angle.
7. If the APS 2000 vehicle restraint is being installed at
a loading dock with a pit-style dockleveler that does
not have lip storage supports (otherwise known as
lip keepers), there is a bolt-on lip deector gusset kit
(P/N AP5664) included with the APS 2000. This kit
must be installed to prevent a pendant dock leveler lip
from moving or storing behind the original lip deector
welded to the right-hand spring cover. See Figure 4B
for installation.
8. Install additional lip deector plates, as required by
the application. Materials supplied by the installer.
See Figure 4A.
4. Check to see if the roller track plate is plumb and
ush with dock face. Add shims as required.
5. If shims are required, use (6) shims 2" wide x 25 5/8"
long, and install as shown in Figure 4a. Shims greater
than 1/2" thick require that longer anchors are used
for anchoring the APS 2000 Vehicle Restraint. For
shims greater than 1" thick, a mounting bracket must
be used instead. Consult APS Resource for longer
anchors or mounting bracket requirements.

The anchor bolts should be installed as the holes are
drilled to prevent the Vehicle Restraint from shifting.
The anchor bolt heads must be tightly secured
against the roller track plate to prevent interference
with the carriage assembly.
INSTALLATION
Improper installation that allows a pendant dock
leveler lip to be supported by the restraint could
result in death or serious injury. It is sometimes
necessary to install lip deector plates as indicated
in Figure 4A to avoid any chance of the pendant lip
storing on top of or behind the roller track plate.
