SAFETY

Maintenance Safety Precautions

ALWAYS stand clear of dock leveler lip when

working in front of the dock leveler. Failure to do this

may result in serious personal injury or death.

DO NOT grind or weld if hydraulic fluid or other

flammable liquid is present on the surface to be

ground or welded

DO NOT grind or weld if uncontained hydraulic fluid

or other flammable liquid is present. Stray sparks

can ignite spills or leaks near the work area. Always

clean up the oil leaks and spills before proceeding

with grinding or welding.

Always keep a fire extinguisher of the proper type

nearby when grinding or welding.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in

serious personal injury or death.

Always post safety warnings and barricade the

work area at dock level and ground level to prevent

unauthorized use of the unit before maintenance is

complete.

The maintenance prop must be in the upright

“service” position when working under the dock

leveler. For maximum protection, use an OSHA

approved locking device to lock the maintenance

prop in the service position. Only the person

servicing the equipment should have the key to

unlock the device.
