OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT ADJUSTMENTS
Adjust & Test Dock Leveler and Truck Restraint Interlock
1. The dock leveler should be in the cross traffic
position before beginning tests.
2. Back a truck/trailer with RIG bar into dock. A test
fixture may be used to simulate the RIG bar. Use
care to avoid damage to the equipment or harm to
the operator.
3. Press the RAISE push button. The dock leveler
should NOT raise. If the leveler did not raise,
proceed with step 4. If the leveler did raise,
decrease dimension “A” or “B”, Figure 37, so that
the target is in the sensing range of the switch.
Typical factory settings for “A” and “B” are
approximately 3/4” and 1/8” respectively. Make
adjustments at switch (dimension B) and/or target
(dimension A) until leveler does not raise when
the truck restraint is not engaged at truck trailer
RIG bar.
4. Momentarily press the ENGAGE button. The truck
restraint automatic engage cycle will be activated
and the restraint will engage the truck/trailer RIG
bar.
5. Raise the dock by pressing the RAISE button until
the lip is fully extended. Release the RAISE
button. The leveler will drop to the floor of the
truck/trailer. If a RIG test fixture is used it should
allow the leveler to drop to the full below dock
position without the contact between the lip and
test fixture.
6. Press the RELEASE button. The truck restraint
should NOT disengage from the truck/trailer RIG
bar or test fixture. If the restraint did NOT engage,
proceed with step 7. If the restraint DID
disengage, move the switch farther from the target
or bend the target so that the target is not in the
sensing range of the switch as shown in Figure
37. Make adjustments at switch and/or target until
restraint does not disengage truck/trailer.
IMPORTANT: If adjustments are required in this
step, make sure that the interlocking described in
step 3 is still in effect after step 6 adjustments are
complete.
7. Press the RAISE push button. The dock leveler
will raise. The leveler lip will fold as the platform
raises. When the lip is fully folded, release the
RAISE push button. The leveler will descend to
the cross traffic position.
8. Momentarily press the RELEASE button. The
truck restraint will return to the stored position.
