WARNING
leveller!
Limb crush hazard by moving dock lev-
eller.
• The dock leveller must be visible
from the place of operation.
• During lifting and lowering the dock
leveller, it is not permitted to per-
sons to be in the travel path of the
dock leveller.
Tripping or falling hazard when the
CAUTION
dock leveller platform is raised!
When the dock leveller platform is
raised and not in use, there is a tripping
or falling hazard.
• Put the dock leveller into rest posi-
tion immediately after use.
5.3.1 Positioning the truck
• Make sure that there is no person or obstacle
between the dock leveller and the truck
approaching in reverse.
• Position the truck with the door open and the tail
lift lowered.
• Lock the truck in place using the brake and wheel
chock or safety wheel chock (optional).
5.3.2 Placing the dock leveller on the truck

CAUTION
If the contact surface of the hinged lip
on the truck loading area is too small,
the dock leveller platform can slip off.

Tripping or falling hazard when
CAUTION
loading!
With the control switched off, triggered
emergency stop switch or active restart
lock, the floating position of the dock
leveller is not active and the vertical
movements of the truck are not bal-
anced out.
• It is not permitted to drive on the
dock leveller until restart.
• Place the hinged lip of the dock leveller on the
truck loading area.
Also observe the assembly and operating in-
structions for the dock leveller control.
• The dock leveller can now be driven over.
NOTICE Deformations of the dock leveller due
to excessive loading
The lifting cylinders are equipped with
mechanical emergency stop valves.
These prevent the dock leveller platform
from sinking dangerously when the
dock leveller is in floating position. This
applies if there is still a load of at
least 25 % of the nominal load on the
dock leveller and if the truck should be
driven away prematurely. The heavy
loads caused by the response of the
mechanical emergency stop valves can
lead to permanent deformation of the
stressed components. These deforma-
tions do not constitute grounds for com-
plaint.
• After response of the mechanical
emergency stop valves, have the
dock leveller inspected by an ex-
pert/ a qualified person.
• Do not use the dock leveller for lift-
ing and lowering loads.
• Put the dock leveller into rest position
immediately after use.
These assembly, operation and maintenance instructions must be kept for the entire period of use!
