Introduction
When not in use, the restraint must be kept in
the stored position. If equipped with lights, the
light selector switch should be in the automatic
position. When the restraint is stored, the
outside signal light is Green and the inside light
is Red. See Figure 4.
When the restraint is activated or in use and if
equipped with lights, the outside signal light is
Red and the inside light is Green. See Figure 5.
CAUTION
Always store restraint when
not in use to prevent
damage.
When no ICC bar is present or when the restraint
is unable to successfully engage the ICC bar, the
outside light, if equipped with a Dock Alert II light
communication package can be changed to Red
by switching the light control switch to Bypass.
When in Bypass, the inside light & outside light
are both Red whether the restraint is stored or not
stored. See Figure 6.

Restraint Activated
Operation of the restraint is from atop the dock. Pushbutton controls allow the dock
attendant to activate and store the restraint. To insure safety in and around the
loading dock, dock attendants must perform the following tasks:
1. The dock attendant must activate the Automatic Truck Restraint from the
control box located atop the dock. The dock attendant simply depresses the
"Activated" pushbutton to raise the restraint.
2. 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 considered improperly engaged.
When this condition occurs, it is imperative that the proper personnel,
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, if equipped with a Dock Alert II light communication package, the
selector switch (on the control box) must be turned to the bypass position
during loading/unloading. After the loading/unloading process is complete,
the switch must be turned back to automatic. See Figure 3.
