MECHANICAL RELEASE

The POWERHOLD restraint is equipped with a mechanical release that can be
utilized in the event of an electric and/or hydraulic failure which prevents the unit from
releasing the truck ICC bar via normal operating methods.

MATERIAL REQUIRED

1-1/8" Wrench

Phillips head screwdriver

2-1/2' or longer, 3/4" rod

Hammer

Oil (WD-40 or equivalent)

WARNING - POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURY

Keep all body parts out of the working zone of the restraint weldment at all
times when performing a mechanical release.

PROCEDURE

1. Make sure outside signal lights are red.

2. Chock truck wheels.

3. Apply a liberal amount of oil to the top of the slide block (P/N 9413-0022).

4. Use the screwdriver to remove the front cover plate (P/N 9411-0012) from the front

of the housing weldment (P/N 9414-0029). This requires the removal of four
screws.

5. Use the wrench to remove the capscrew (P/N 2101-0118) from the front of the

housing weldment.

6. Insert the 3/4" rod through the front of the housing weldment (i.e., through the

area of the weldment opened by the removal of the front cover plate). Set one end
of the rod into the hole located in the front of the slide block.

7. Hammer on the exposed end of the 3/4" rod to force the slide block towards the

face of the dock. The restraint weldment (P/N 9414-0014) should lower when the
slide block is repositioned.

8. After truck is released and away from the restraint, reassemble the unit.

9. Determine cause of electric and/or hydraulic failure.
