SAFETY

ALWAYS disconnect electrical power source and
ground wire before welding on dock leveler.

DO NOT ground welding equipment to any hydraulic
or electrical components of the dock leveler. Always
ground to the dock leveler frame.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in
damage to dock leveler and/or serious personal
injury or death.

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.

Hydraulic and electrical power must be OFF when
servicing the equipment. For maximum protection,
use an OSHA approved locking device to lock
out all power sources. Only the person servicing
the equipment should have the key to unlock the
device.

The maintenance prop must be in the upright “service”
position when working under the dock leveler. For
