When not in use, the restraint must be kept in
the stored position. If equipped with lights, the
light selector switch should be in either the
automatic or stored position depending on
restraint model. Units equipped with automatic
light operation should have the light control
switch placed in the automatic postion. Units
equipped with manual light operation must have
the light control switch placed in the position that
matches the restraint position. When the
mechanical truck restraint is stored, the outside
signal light is Green and the inside light is Red.

release and store the restraint. To insure safety
in and around the loading dock, dock attendants
must perform the following tasks:
Operation of the restraint is from atop the dock.
A lifting hook is used from atop the dock to
1. For those units equipped with manually oper-
ated lights, the operator must switch the light
control switch to the activated position prior to
loading/unloading. This will change the outside
signal light to Red.
2. After switching the light control to the activated
position, the dock attendant must activate the
mechanical truck restraint. This is done by
using the operating bar from atop the dock to lift
up on the release lever. The release lever is
located on the right side of the restraint when
viewed from atop the dock.
3. Once the restraint has been activated, the dock
attendant must visually inspect to assure that
the hook has properly engaged the ICC bar.
Proper engagement occurs when the hook is
able to travel vertically, contacting the bottom
edge of the horizontal member of the ICC bar,
without obstruction. Any missing, bent or
mislocated ICC bars that do not allow for this
vertical travel and/or contact are to be consid-
ered improperly engaged. When this condition
occurs, it is imperative that the proper person-
nel, especially the truck driver, be advised. The
truck/trailer must also be secured by another
method to insure safety. The restraint must be
stored and the selector switch (on the control
box) returned to the restraint stored position
after the loading/unloading process is complete.
