Never work under a dock leveler unless the maintenance prop is installed in its socket.
NOTICE
The Dock Leveler must be level to function properly.
Do not modify the dock leveler to fit in a pit.
- Measure the pit's dimensions.
- Using steel shims, position shims under the frame to prevent frame distortions and flex so the Dock Leveler's final, resting position meets the following:
• The Dock Leveler should be level.
- The Dock Leveler should be against the rear pit curb angle.
- The platform should be centered from side to side within the pit.
- The Dock Leveler's rear channel must be flush with the rear curb angle.
NOTICE
Do not allow the dock leveler to be above the pit's rear curb angle.
- With the shims in position, skip weld the rear hinge channel to the rear curb angel, 4 inches every 8 inches.
- Grind welds smooth.
Operating the Dock Leveler
NOTICE
Do not leave any cargo or equipment on the Dock Leveler deck at any time.
Before Use
1) When the truck is against the Dock Lever's bumpers, chock the truck's wheels on both sides.
2) Verify the truck's cargo area has ample room to accept the Dock Leveler lip. The lip will require about twelve inches (12") beyond the bumper for the standard sixteen inch (16") lip.
3) If the cargo area is not sufficiently clear, clear the area.
4) Verify the lip is in the vertical position and securely behind the lip keepers.
WARNING
People and equipment must be clear of the leveler. The deck will rise and the lip will automatically extend into the trailer.
5) If the deck is below dock height, release the pull & raise the deck a few inches above the dock floor.
6) Walk on the deck to lower it until the entire lip is setting on top of the trailer's floor.


7) For Models with the ES Option: If the trailer floor is below the dock's floor, the Emergency Stop's safety legs need to be retracted. Pull the ES ring, the rear-most ring on the Dock Leveler, to retract the safety legs and completely lower the lip onto the trailer's floor. Release the ES ring.
8) Load / unload the cargo.
After use
NOTICE If the truck departs before the dock leveler is retracted, the lip will fall to the down position. The lip might not be in the keepers.
1) Pull the recessed handle, releasing the deck, until the lip clears the truck.
2) After the deck completely retracts, walk on the deck until it returns to floor height.
3) Verify the lip is behind the keepers.
4) The trailer's overhead door and/or the building may now be closed and the wheel chocks removed.
Record of Satisfactory Condition
Before putting the dock leveler into service, make a record of its appearance and operations. Photograph the unit from multiple vantage points in the lowered and fully elevated and extended configurations. Take close range photographs of all labeling and information tags applied to the machine. Photograph the deck, the lip, supporting frame, side/foot guards, and anchoring fasteners (anchor bolts, etc.). Describe the motion of the deck as it elevates and descends, e.g. smoothly and evenly from side-to-side without binding or lurching. Describe the sound of the machine as it operates. Collect all photographs and writings in a file. Mark the file appropriately to identify it. This file is a record of the unit in satisfactory condition. Compare the results of all inspections to this RECORD to determine whether the leveler is in satisfactory condition. Do not use the leveler unless it is in satisfactory condition. Purely cosmetic changes, like damaged paint or powdercoat, are not changes from satisfactory condition. However, touchup paint should be applied as soon as damage occurs.
Inspections & Maintenance
WARNING
Any debris in, around, or under the Dock Leveler may impede its actuation. In some cases, an operator and/or equipment on top of the Dock Leveler may slide off and fall outside onto the ground causing damage and/or serious injury.
Before beginning maintenance, secure the deck in the raised configuration with the maintenance prop. The process requires 2 people: one person presses and holds the RAISE button to keep the deck raised with the lip extended, while the second person pivots the maintenance prop to align the free end of the prop with the socket on the underside of the deck.
Every Use
- Inspect the Dock Leveler operation.
- Clear debris. Debris can be found between the Dock Leveler and the pit walls.
Monthly
- Verify labels are present, legible and securely attached. Request replacements from vendor as necessary.
- Remove all debris from the pit. Clean the lip hinge and the lip operating mechanism. Wipe dirt and material from the ratchet mechanism including the ratchet and paw. Clean the deck hinge.
- Inspect pull chain(s). They should pull without obstruction. The chain should not have excessive wear. Replace as necessary.
- Use a graphite-based oil to liberally lubricate all moving parts. Include the hooking point at the end of the springs. The only exception is the ratchet bar and the locking paw which should not be oiled.
- Grease the following zerk fittings with a lithium based grease:
○ Lip hinge
o Pillow block at ends of trunnion
- Rotating cam in center of Dock Leveler deck
- If unit is equipped with safety stops grease both sides
- Inspect the springs.
- Inspect all welds for cracks and signs of metal fatigue, especially at the hinge.
WARNING
The springs are under high tension. If quickly released or pried loose, the springs can cause equipment damage and/or serious injury.
o Springs should not be corroded or rusty. Replace as necessary.
o Springs ends should be secured at either end.
- Inspect the Dock Leveler operation. If adjustments are needed, see below.
- If paint has chipped, prepare the surface and paint.
RR Models with the ES Option:
WARNING
If the pull chains, safety legs and safety leg's springs are hindered with debris or have excessive wear, the Dock Leveler will lower and bottom out during usage. Any persons or equipment on the Dock Leveler may slide off and fall causing injury and/or equipment damage.
- Inspect the linkage operation.
o The return spring on the safety legs should be functioning and securely connected.
- The D-rings guiding the Release Pull Chain should be greased. The chain's travel should be unobstructed.
Adjusting Spring Tension
Deck Lifting Mechanism
When adjusting the spring tension, stretch the springs to the same length. This will unify the spring force acting on the lifting mechanism. The lifting motion will be more uniform.
The deck's lifting speed impacts the lip extension. The deck's momentum provides the extra energy to extend the Lip outward. Hence, if the lifting speed is too slow, the lip will not extend.
Uniformly increase the spring force by uniformly lengthening each springs length until the lip extends.
Lip Extending Mechanism
Pulling the lip chain engages the lip's Counterbalance Spring and rotates the lip outward. The appropriate compression in the spring is important for this actuation. The spring's force should be maximized while still having the lip fall back to the vertical position. Too much spring force and the lip will not return to its stowed, vertical position.
Perform the following sequence of steps until the spring force is maximized and the lip still returns to its stowed, vertical position.

Adjustment Sequence
- Grab the lip end and manually extend lip.
- Release the lip.
- If it falls to the vertical position, tighten spring nut clockwise.

What is covered under the warranty?
The warranty covers defects in the following original, dynamic parts: motors, hydraulic pumps, motor controllers, and cylinders. It also covers defects in original parts that wear under normal usage conditions ("wearing parts"), such as bearings, hoses, wheels, seals, brushes, and batteries.
How long is the warranty period?
The warranty period for original dynamic components is 1 year. For wearing parts, the warranty period is 90 days. Both warranty periods begin on the date Vestil ships the product to the Warrantee. If the product was purchased from an authorized distributor, the periods begin when the distributor ships the product. Vestil may, at its sole discretion, extend a warranty period for products shipped from authorized distributors by up to 30 days to account for shipping time.
If a defective part is covered by the warranty, what will Vestil do to correct the problem?
Vestil will provide an appropriate replacement for any covered part. An authorized representative of Vestil will contact you to discuss your claim.
What is not covered by the warranty?
The Warrantee (you) is responsible for paying labor costs and freight costs to return the product to Vestil for warranty service.
