General condition

• Carry out a test run and make sure to test all
operating functions:
– lifting
– folding out the hinged lip
– lowering
– floating position
– moving back to the resting position
– emergency off function via main switch
• Check these options, if available:
– automatic return to the resting position
– locking of door/dock leveller (sensor) or safety
wheel chock
– warning signal system (optical/acoustic)
• Carry out a visual inspection on:
– mechanical damages, rust formation and the
condition of the welded construction
– dirt and oil spills in the area underneath the
dock leveller. Remove any if present.
• Make sure that no debris, stones etc. obstruct the
function of the hinges.
• Provide sufficient slip resistance by keeping the
dock leveller platform clean and dry.
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or
thawing salts! Risk of corrosion:
• Do not aim a high-pressure water jet at the
control system, the hydraulic system or any
electrical connections!
If you notice damages the dock leveller must be in-
spected by an expert/ a qualified person and must not
be used until the repair work has been completed.
