Prepare Pit

Before lowering the dock leveler into the pit, the

following must be performed:

1. Remove all debris from the pit and sweep the pit

clean.

2. Check the entire dock leveler pit for proper

construction according to approved/certified pit

drawings. Make sure pit is square by making the

following measurements:

• Measure pit width distance (A) at both front and

rear of pit.

• Measure dock floor-to-pit floor distance (B) at all

four corners.

• Measure pit length distance (C) at both sides.

• Measure corner-to-corner (criss cross) distance

(D) at both sides. Take measurements at dock

floor level and at pit floor level.

If any measurement is off by more than 1/8 in.

use of the dock leveler before installation has been

completed.
