MAINTENANCE
21 4111-0006 — July 2006
Service Dock Leveler Safely
Whenever maintenance is to be performed under the
dock leveler platform, support the platform with the
platform maintenance prop (B).
Put the platform maintenance prop in the service
(upright) position so that the prop is cradled in the
angle bracket (C). Lock the platform maintenance
prop in this position by inserting the locking pin and
attaching an OSHA approved lockout device* (D) and
tagout device* (E).
Only the person servicing the equipment should have
the capability to remove the lockout device. The
tagout device must inform that repairs are in process
and clearly state who is responsible for the lockout
condition.
If maintenance requires that the lip be in the
extended position, raise the lip by hand and support
the lip with the lip maintenance prop (A).
NOTE: Make sure to disengage the lip maintenance
prop and allow the lip to fold fully before
disengaging the platform maintenance prop.

* Refer to OSHA regulation 1910.147.
Always stand clear of the dock leveler lip when
working in front of the dock leveler. Failure to do
this may result in serious personal injury or death.
The platform maintenance prop MUST be in the
service position when working under the dock
leveler. For maximum protection, use an OSHA
approved locking device to lock the maintenance
prop in the service position. Only the person
servicing the equipment should have the key to
unlock the maintenance prop.
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 dock leveler before
maintenance is complete. Failure to do this may
result in serious personal injury or death.
