INSTALLATION

Figure 6

1.

Place shims on the pit floor in the locations shown. Continue to stack shims
until the dimension from the top of the shims to the dock floor matches the
dockleveler height. A string line may be stretched across the pit opening over
the shims so an accurate measurement can be taken. (See Figure 7).

To allow for inconsistant pits, Poweramp docklevelers are designed with a nominal
3/4" shimming distance. Shims are to be located under each of the 3 rear vertical
supports. Also place shims under the 2 lip keeper/cross traffic supports, hoist
cylinder trunnion supports and under the maintenance prop.

Poweramp
docklevelers are
designed with
installation in
mind. Each unit is
shipped with lifting
lugs bolted thru
the outboard
joists. The lifting
lugs should be
used whenever
lowering or lifting a
dockleveler into or
out of a pit.

SHIM
LOCATIONS

Do not grind or weld if
hydraulic fluid or other
flamable liquids are
present. Always keep a
fire extinguisher of the
proper type nearby.
