used. Never allow anyone to stand on or near the dock
leveler when it is lifted or placed into the pit. Stand clear
of the dock leveler when it is placed into the pit. Failure to
follow this warning can allow the dock leveler to fall, tip,
or swing into people, resulting in death or serious injury.
Route power cord clear of edges and resting surfaces so
that it is not damaged during lifting and placement. Wires
may be routed up through the rear hinge until needed.

The rear edge of the dock leveler should be level or
slightly (1/16" maximum) below dock level.
The top surface of the dock leveler should be level and
a smooth transition with the dock oor curb steel. The
front end should be level and parallel with the rear frame
angle for proper operation. Unequal Shimming of the
front supports may be required to obtain a level front
edge.
Turn off all electrical power to the leveler if it has been
previously connected. Welding with dock levelers power
connected can damage the electrical components. A
ground must be attached to the leveler frame. Failure to
do so can result in product damage.
