MOUNTING AND ANCHORING

Inspect installation location: The POWERHOLD restraint will require solid anchors to
assure proper operation. Optimum installations will have both a concrete drive and a
poured concrete dock face so that anchor bolts can be well secured. Twelve 1/2"
anchor bolt mounting holes are re provided. However, 6 base or 6 wall may be used
where cold induced frost heave will be a factor or mounting conditions do not allow use
of all 12 mounting holes.

The POWERHOLD restraint should be positioned at the center of the dock leveler and
is designed to be flush with the dock face when 4-1/2" bumpers are used. A filler plate
(not supplied with POWERHOLD systems) will be required for bumper projections
greater than 4-1/2" as follows:

IMPORTANT

The restraint should be installed level from top to back and from side
to side. The restraint should be installed square with the face of the
dock.

Typical mounting requirements for the control unit, driver alert unit and "CAUTION PULL
IN OR OUT ON GREEN ONLY" signs are shown in the illustration below. The
"CAUTION WHEELS MUST BE CHOCKED" sign should be mounted FOR EASY
READING BY TRUCK DRIVER outside and to the right of the overhead door or at the
right side of the loading dock. Fasteners for these three caution signs are not included
with the POWERHOLD system.
