Poweramp VS VERTICAL SPECIALTY 2.1995 - Manual (Page 11)

Controls
Poweramp VS docklevelers are operated via a remote mounted control enclosure. This
enclosure has a Nema 12 rating. Included is a toggle switch to turn 115 volt control voltage on
and off. Also included are three push buttons which require constant pressure to operate the
dockleveler.
To lower the dockleveler, depress and hold the lower button.
To raise the dockleveler, depress and hold the raise button.
To fold the lip down, depress and hold the lower button and lip button simultaneously.
To extend the lip, depress and hold the raise and lip button simultaneously.
Operation
Lowering the VS dockleveler:
Before lowering the dockleveler, be sure the operating zone is free and clear of obstruction.
The dockleveler is designed to be supported by either the trailer bed or resting on the pit floor
during use.
When operating a VS dockleveler, the operator must determine whether the lip of the leveler is
obstructed by the last load in the trailer.
Partially Full Trailer:
If the trailer is not completely full, the operator may lower the unit into the trailer with the lip
extended.
Completely Full Trailer:
If the trailer is completely full, the dockleveler must be lowered with the lip folded to prevent
cargo damage by the extended lip.
Float Range:
You may notice that as you lower the VS dockleveler into position, the last twelve or so
inches of vertical travel do not require pressure on the lower button. This feature is designed
into the operation to allow for the floating/vertical motion of the trailer during loading/unloading.
Raising the VS dockleveler:
Before raising the dockleveler, be sure the operating zone is free and clear of obstruction.
Depress and hold the raise push button until the dockleveler is fully raised. (It is recom-
mended that the lip be stored in the extended position). After the dockleveler is in the verti-
cally stored position, turn the toggle switch to off to avoid any accidental operation.
WARNING
Always operate the VS
dockleveler from atop the
loading dock. Never
stand or work under the
VS dockleveler unless it
is securely supported.
Use safe work habits.
WARNING
Improper use of this
equipment may cause
personal injury or property
damage.

CAUTION
