INSTALLATION

Prepare Pit

Before lowering the dock leveler into the pit, the
following must be performed:

1. Remove all debris from the pit and sweep the pit

clean.

2. Check the entire dock leveler pit for proper

construction according to approved/certified pit
drawings. Make sure pit is square by making the
following measurements:

• Measure pit width distance (A) at both front

and rear of pit.

• Measure dock floor-to-pit floor distance (B) at

all four corners.

• Measure pit length distance (C) at both sides.
• Measure corner-to-corner (criss-cross)

distance (D) at both sides. Take measurements
at dock floor level and at pit floor level.

If any measurement is off by more than 1/8 in.
(3.18 mm), contact Poweramp Technical Services
before proceeding.

3. Make sure the field junction box for the dock

leveler (E) is at the correct location per pit
diagrams.

A—Distance (Pit Width)

(Front and Rear)

B— Distance (Dock Floor-to-Pit

Floor) (All Four Corners)

C— Distance (Pit Length)

(Both Sides of Pit)

D— Distance (Pit Corner-to-Corner)

(Top, Bottom, and Both Sides)

IMPORTANT

DO NOT remove the shipping bands around the
dock leveler lip until instructed to to so.

Post safety warnings and barricade the work area
at dock level and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock leveler before
installation has been completed.

Failure to follow the installation instructions can
result in damage to dock leveler, the facilities,
and/or serious personal injury or death.

Only trained installation professionals with the
proper equipment should install this product.
