Quarterly 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: To thoroughly inspect the platform hinge area,

position the platform in the full below-dock
position.

• 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 increase wear and cause abnormal
operation.

• Lubricate the following areas with light-weight

machine oil:

(B)— Lip maintenance prop pivot

(C)— Lip link pivots

(F)— E-Z release bellcrank pivot

(H)— Hold-down pivot/pulley

(J)— Safety leg linkage pivots

(L)— Hold down-to-platform pin

• Lubricate the following areas with white lithium

grease:

(A)— Lip hinge area (inject grease into all the lip

hinge grease fittings)

(D)— Platform hinge area (inject grease into all the

platform hinge grease fittings)

(E)—Lift arm roller bushing

(G)— Lift arm pivot

(K)— Lip assist pin

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

Failure to properly lubricate the dock leveler will
cause abnormal operation of the leveler.
