INSTALLATION
Post safety warnings and barricade the work area at
dock level and ground level to prevent unauthorized
use of the dock leveler before installation has been
completed.
Failure to follow the installation instructions can
result in damage to dock leveler, the facilities, and/
or serious personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the dock leveler electrical wiring
and ground connections until all welding has been
completed.
DO NOT ground welding equipment to any hydraulic
or electrical components of the dock leveler. Always
ground welding equipment to the dock leveler frame,
NEVER to the platform.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the
motor, hoist cylinder, wiring, and/or control panel.
