LIP ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT
This procedure requires the dock leveler
deck to be maintained in the fully raised
position without the aid of the main lift
springs or lifting arm. Block as described
below or otherwise assure the deck will not
lower before attempting repairs.
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 can not
lower. If a safety stand is not available,
block the deck up as described in the
following paragraphs.
2) With the deck fully raised, measure the
distance between the top of the front,
lower frame, crossbeam and the
underside of the deck plate at the rear of
the headboard, Figure 37. Cut two (2)
pieces of sound 4" x 4" hardwood
blocking and place one at each side of
unit, spaced as wide as is practical, as
shown in Figure 37. Grasp the tip of the
lip and pull the deck down firmly onto
the blocks to assure they remain in
position.
