INSTALLATION
1. Remove any bumpers that may be banded, or
bolted to the frame of the dock leveler.
NOTE: Overall width of platform and lifting brackets
(A) must be kept to a minimum to prevent
interference between the lifting brackets and
the pit walls as the dock leveler is lowered into
the pit.
2. Make sure the mounting hardware of lifting brackets
(A) is snug. The brackets should pivot relatively
freely on the mounting cap screw. DO NOT over-
tighten.
3. Attach lifting chains to lifting brackets (A) and to
a lifting device (i.e., hoist or fork truck) having the
appropriate lifting capacity and reach.
REAR PICK UP
FRONT PICK UP
4. Remove wood blocks that are attached to the leveler
frame before putting the dock leveler into the pit.
5. To pick up the unit from the rear, slide forks into the
fork slots and under the cross member. Shown below.
6. To pick up the unit from the front, move forks closer
together and slide over the frame and under the cross
member. It may be necessary to unband the unit to gain
access to the front, by lifting the lip up then sliding the
forks under the cross member.
