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.
