Whenever maintenance is to be performed under
the dock leveler platform, support the platform with
maintenance prop (B). Position the maintenance prop
behind front header plate (D) while staying clear of the
lip. Lock the maintenance prop in the service (upright)
position using an OSHA approved lockout device* (B)
and tagout device* (A).
Whenever servicing the dock leveler, lock the electrical
power disconnect in the OFF position. Use only an
OSHA approved lockout device* (B) and tagout device

Only the person servicing the equipment should have
the capability to remove the lockout devices. The
tagout devices* must inform that repairs are in process
and clearly state who is responsible for the lockout
condition.

* Refer to OSHA regulation 1910.147.
When service under the dock leveler is required,
always lock all electrical disconnects in the OFF
position after raising the platform and engaging
the maintenance prop. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Always post safety warnings and barricade the
work area at dock level and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock leveler before
maintenance is complete. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Always stand clear of the dock leveler lip when
working in front of the dock leveler.
The maintenance prop MUST be in the service
position when working under the dock leveler.
For maximum protection, use an OSHA approved
locking device to lock the maintenance prop in
the service position. Only the person servicing
the equipment should have the key to unlock the
maintenance prop.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
