INSTALLATION
DO NOT use the maintenance prop to support the
raised platform until the maintenance prop has been
properly shimmed and welded. The shims must be
welded to each other, the leveler frame, and to the
front pit curb steel. Failure to do this may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Two people are required to engage the maintenance
prop: one person to operate the lifting device, the
other person to engage the maintenance prop.
12. With the leveler square in the pit and flush with
the surrounding dock, remove the banding on the
lip of the leveler.
13. Lift Leveler with appropriate machinery.
14. Slowly raise the platform. Check for binding as
platform is being raised.
15. If binding occurs, lower the platform. Reposition
leveler and/or add or remove shims as necessary.
Slowly raise platform again. If platform still binds,
contact Poweramp ® Technical Services for further
instructions.
16. All CentraAir™ models - Once leveler is flush,
square and does not bind:
a. Install shims under maintenance prop (C)
where prop attaches to leveler frame. Make
sure prop is solidly shimmed.
b. Using appropriate machinery, raise the dock
to the fully open position.
c. Raise maintenance prop to the service
(upright) position and lock prop in this position
using an OSHA approved locking device.
17. Remove air bellows from the leveler by unbolting
the bellows from the frame and the deck or wrap
bellows with fire proof blanket to protect from weld
sparks and splatter.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT weld before disconnecting all electrical
components.
DO NOT weld before removing air bellows.
Failure to follow these instructions may result

weld splatter.
