Maintenance Safety Precautions
ALWAYS disconnect electrical power source and
ground wire before welding on dock leveler.
DO NOT ground welding equipment to any
hydraulic or electrical components of the dock
leveler. Always ground to the dock leveler
frame.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
damage to dock leveler and/or serious personal
injury or death.
ALWAYS stand clear of dock leveler and lip when
working in front of the dock leveler. Failure to do
this may result in serious personal injury or death.
DO NOT grind or weld if hydraulic fluid or other
flammable liquid is present on the surface to be
ground or welded.
DO NOT grind or weld if uncontained hydraulic fluid
or other flammable liquid is present. Stray sparks
can ignite spills or leaks near the work area.
Always clean up the oil leaks and spills before
proceeding with grinding or welding.
Always keep a fire extinguisher of the
proper type nearby when grinding or
welding.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Always post safety warnings and barricade the work
area at dock level and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the unit before
maintenance is complete.
Hydraulic and electrical power must be OFF when
servicing the equipment. For maximum protection,
use an OSHA approved locking device to lock out
all power sources. Only the person servicing the
equipment should have the key to unlock the
device.
The storage maintenance props (2) must be in the
"Maintenance" position when working under the
dock leveler and the storage prop must have a
grade 5 or better in the locking hole. For maximum
