RETURN TO STORED POSITION
To return the deck to stored position after
the vehicle is Loaded or Unloaded and is
still at the dock, pull up and hold the
release chain "only long enough" for the
lip to clear the truck bed and fold in fully.
WALK THE DECK DOWN
Walk the deck down to the stored
position, ensuring that the lip is located
inside the lip keepers.
Note: Releasing the operating ring at any time will stop the upward travel of the deck.
Note: Should the truck depart before the dock leveler is returned to stored position, the
lip will automatically swing down to a hanging position. If the truck being serviced was
lower than the dock and the lip is not located inside the keepers, raise the deck
approximately 12” above dock height and then walk it down to stored position.
DIAGONAL FLOAT ABILITY
Irregularities in left to right corner height of the truck floor are sometimes caused by
uneven paving or lop sided loads. The design of the Blue Giant Dock Leveler
incorporates the use of "Tilt Bars and Pockets". These are floating hinge and mount
points located at the rear of the deck that allow the deck to float diagonally and
compensate for irregularities in left to right corner height of the truck floor. This
extends deck life by preventing deck twisting and also prevents lift truck tire damage
by allowing full width lip contact.
Note: In use, the Dock Leveler deck adjusts itself to tilted load beds and raises and
lowers automatically with movements of the load bed. (It is normal for a rear corner
to raise above floor level during use to compensate for a tilted truck bed).
