MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance must be performed on a weekly
and quarterly schedule.
Weekly Maintenance
• Operate the dock leveler through the complete
operating cycle to maintain lubrication.
NOTE: Make sure the limit switch is clear of debris.
• Inspect the platform hinge and the lip hinge areas.
The hinge areas must be kept free of dirt and
debris. Build-up of foreign material in the hinge
areas will cause abnormal operation.
Quarterly Maintenance
• Lubricate the following areas with light weight
machine oil:
(A)— Lip hinge area unless equipped with grease
fittings (apply oil to the top of the entire
length of lip hinge when platform is in the
stored position and lip is folded)
(B)— Platform hinge area (apply oil to top of all
platform hinges when platform is in the
stored position)
(C)— Apply a light oil to the Storage prop pins.
(D)— Grease the hoist cylinder grease fitting
(E)— Apply a light oil to the Lip Cylinder pins.
NOTE: Apply grease to lip hinge grease fittings if
equipped.
IMPORTANT
Failure to properly lubricate the dock leveler will
cause abnormal operation of the leveler.

machine oil:
(A)— Lip hinge area unless equipped with grease
