Be certain, before climbing into the dock leveler pit or
doing any maintenance or repair under the dock leveler,
that: 1) THE MAINTENANCE STRUT IS IN POSITION AND
PINNED, LIP LOCK IS IN PLACE AND SUPPORTING THE
LIP [see Fig. 31] and 2) the power is disconnected and
properly tagged or locked off.
Air pressure or mechanical support must be maintained
on the ramp to hold it in the raised position until the
maintenance strut is in place. DO NOT WORK UNDER
THE DOCK LEVELER RAMP OR LIP UNLESS THE
MAINTENANCE STRUT AND LIP LOCK ARE PINNED IN
PLACE.
Before servicing the dock leveler, read and follow the
Safety Practices on page 3, and the Operations Instruction
section on pages 16 through 19 of this User’s Manual.
The lip is free to move downward when it is released
unless lip lock is in its support position.
DO NOT WORK UNDER THE DOCK LEVELER RAMP
OR LIP UNLESS THE MAINTENANCE STRUT IS IN
PLACE AND PINNED, AND LIP LOCK IS IN PLACE AND
SUPPORTING THE LIP.
