Poweramp POWERHOOK P4111-0010 5.2006 - Manual (Page 9)

7 4111-0010 — December 2004
INTRODUCTION
General Information
When not in use, PowerHook stores in a pit,
concealed and out of the way, enabling dock workers
to clear the driveway approach of snow or debris.
The PowerHook truck restraint comes equipped with
an electrical control panel, which allows push button
operation of the truck restraint functions.
When combining a Poweramp Dock Leveler with a
PowerHook truck restraint, the control panel will allow
for operation of both units in the same control panel.
Each PowerHook, Poweramp Dock Leveler and
control panel has been factory prewired and tested to
ensure satisfactory operation.
To illustrate which connections are to be made in the
field at installation, electrical drawings are included
with each order or by contacting Poweramp Technical
Services.
Once again, thank you and congratulations on your
purchase of a Poweramp PowerHook truck restraint.
Designed by Poweramp to be a marvel of simplicity
and efficiency, your truck restraint, when properly
installed, will provide many years of trouble-free
performance with an absolute minimum of
maintenance. Its revolutionary hydraulic system
efficiently controls and operates every function. To
obtain maximum performance and longest possible
use, a simple program of preventive maintenance is
recommended and is outlined in this manual.
The PowerHook is the original truck restraint to seek,
find and maintain a tight, continuous hold on the RIG
(Rear Impact Guard) bar, effectively eliminating
“trailer creep”. As an optional safety feature, the
dock leveler and truck restraint can be interlocked,
preventing operation of the dock leveler until the hook
engages the truck RIG bar.
The Truck restraint is firmly anchored in the loading
dock pit for maximum holding power. The hook
remains protected behind the pit wall until activated.
The PowerHook restraint is designed to withstand a
pulling force of 35,000 lbs.
Congratulations on your choice of a Poweramp PowerHook truck restraint. This manual addendum
covers the PowerHook Truck restraint operating system updates since March 1, 2003.
Due to ongoing product improvement, some parts have changed, along with operation and trouble shooting
methods. This manual addendum describes these changes. For further assistance, please contact:
