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
(H)— Hold-down pivot/pulley
(J)— Safety leg linkage pivots
(L)— Hold down-to-platform pin
(M)— Lip assist pin
• Lubricate the following areas with white lithium
grease:
(A)— Lip hinge area (Oil at each lug hinge on the
lip)
(D)— Platform hinge area (Oil at each lug hinge on
the front header)
(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.
DO NOT lubricate the hold-down ratchet bar and
pawl.
