INSTALLATION

1. Disconnect the external lifting device

2. Install the dock bumpers as required.

3. Turn the main electrical power ON.

4. Raise the leveler platform fully by pushing and

holding the RAISE button.

NOTE: The platform of a properly operating dock

leveler will automatically stop rising when it reaches

its full raised height, at which point, the lip extends.

5. Release the RAISE button to lower the platform. As

long as there is no truck present at the dock, the

platform will lower to the full below-dock position

as the lip folds.

NOTE: If a truck is present, the platform will lower

until the lip rests on the truck/trailer bed. (See

Operating Instructions in Operation section.)

6. Perform steps 4 & 5 at least four times to purge

any air that may be in the hydraulic system and to

ensure proper operation.

Put New Dock Leveler Into Service

Always stand clear of platform lip when working in

front of the dock leveler. Serious personal injury or

death may result.

Unless the dock leveler is equipped with a tethered

remote, two people are required to engage the

maintenance prop: one person to operate the unit,

the other person to engage the maintenance prop.
