6. Pull lanyard ring (or push the Raise button) to
position the platform high enough to clear the lip
keepers, but not high enough to extend the lip.
7. Walk out on the leveler, pull and hold the safety leg
retract pull ring (located in the recess at the front of
the platform). This will cause the lip to extend away
from the lip keepers and the cross traffic safety
legs to fold to allow the leveler to lower to the below
dock position.

continue to hold the pull chain as the leveler lowers
to the below-dock service position. The platform
will drift down to the full below-dock position.
9. Proceed with loading/unloading.
NOTE: When end unloading is finished and access
to the rest of the truck/trailer is still required,
the platform lip will need to be extended.
See Ramp Loading/Unloading Instructions on
page 19 for further instructions.

the dock leveler platform to the cross-traffic
(stored) position.

lanyard ring (or RAISE button), leveler will return
to the stored or cross traffic position.
