Blue Giant FMC - HOLD DOWN CABLE REPLACEMENT

Mechanical Dock Leveler – M and FMC Group 08, Section 04, Page 1
Issue Date: 10/01/01, Rev. 0 (Part #038-550E)
HOLD DOWN CABLE REPLACEMENT (Broken Cable)
Note: A broken hold down cable often
indicates long time use or severe working
conditions and may be indicative of the
general condition of the entire hold down
system. When investigation shows this to
be the case, Blue Giant recommends
installing a complete, new hold down box
assembly to assure trouble free use of the
dock leveler. If the decision is made to
replace only the hold down cable, proceed
as follows:
1. Raise dock leveler and position
maintenance strut and traffic barriers
as required for safety. Place a safety
stand between the deck assembly and
the lower frame to assure the deck
cannot lower. Deck must be fully
raised.
2.
Wire wound cables become frayed with
use and must be handled with care.
Use leather gloves or similar
protection.
3. Enter pit area and remove hold down
box cover, counter weight and lock
roller.
Note: At this time, inspect wear strip
and lock roller for wear and use new
components when re-assembling if the
degree of wear indicates they will need
to be replaced within ninety days.
