3. Position the dockleveler in the pit. The rear edge of the dockleveler must be tight
against the rear pit curb angle.
4. Use 1/4" thick shims to shim the front of the dockleveler. Shims are to be placed under
the 2 lip keeper/cross traffic supports and under the maintenance prop pivot point. To
determine the correct number of shims, position the dockleveler so that it is level with
the dock floor.

7. With the rear frame upper angle tightly against the curb steel, weld the rear
frame upper angle to the rear curb angle in the pattern for the width of the
dockleveler being installed. Note: weld pattern will vary based on dockleveler
width. Figure 9 illustrates a typical weld pattern.

INSTALLATION
5. With the front shims in place, check to insure that a smooth transition exists
between the dock floor and dockleveler. Add or remove shims as required to
achieve this condition.
6. Check alignment of dockleveler with the pit. If the pit conforms to the certified
pit drawings, there will be a 1/4" gap between the ends of the upper frame angle
and the side curb steel. There should also be a 1" gap between the leveler
platform and pit sides (see figure 8).
