4.7.2 Installation situation DZ1 and DZ2
Fig. a , page A13. Weld all weld-on attachments of
the dock leveller to the pegs.
If the dock leveller is galvanised, spray the area
around the weld seams with cold galvanising spray
(not included in the scope of delivery) and allow to
dry for at least 30 minutes.
Touch up all damaged areas in the paint with the sup-
plied touch-up paint.
Fig. b , page A13. Seal the slots between the dock
leveller frame and the building before pouring in the
concrete grout. We recommend that you cover the
dock leveller platform with a protection film before
pouring in the concrete grout.
Pour in the concrete grout. Make sure to use con-
crete of appropriate quality, at least C20/25. If you
pour in the concrete grout from a great height, make
sure that the lateral pressure does not become too
high during the pouring and compaction process.
Otherwise, the side walls may deform.
Dismantle the transport lugs and close the holes in
the dock leveller platform with the plastic plugs.
4.7.3 Installation condition BZ
Fig. a , page A14. Weld the dock leveller to the pre-
frame.
If the dock leveller is galvanised, spray the area
around the weld seams with cold galvanising spray
(not included in the scope of delivery) and allow to
dry for at least 30 minutes.
Touch up all damaged areas in the paint with the sup-
plied touch-up paint.

the dock leveller platform with the plastic plugs.
These assembly, operation and maintenance instructions must be kept for the entire period of use!
4.7.5 Installation situation AZ
Fig. a , page A15.Weld the dock leveller to the
frame of the installation point. Close the gap under
each welding seam with a suitable shim (min
height 60 mm). Remove the side retaining plates.
If the dock leveller is galvanised, spray the area
around the weld seams with cold galvanising spray
(not included in the scope of delivery) and allow to
dry for at least 30 minutes.

Operation

Safety instructions for operation

The dock leveller is designed to mitigate to the
greatest possible extent the risk of anyone operating
or standing near the door being crushed, cut, clipped
or otherwise injured. To ensure a safe operation of
the dock leveller, the following points must yet be ob-
served:
• If you notice damages endangering the
operational safety of the dock leveller, the dock
leveller must be inspected by an expert or a
qualified person and may not be used until the
repair work has been completed.
• Only instructed persons are allowed to operate
the dock leveller. All operators must be familiar
with the applicable safety regulations.
• Comply with the accident prevention regulations
and general safety regulations relevant to the
field of application.
• The operator of the dock leveller must ensure
sufficient lighting at the workplace.
• Regularly check the loading ramp for obvious
defects and have defects rectified immediately.
• Operating the dock leveller is only permissible at
temperatures between -20 °C and +40 °C.
• Do not load the dock leveller with cargo
exceeding the specified nominal load.
• Driving on the dock leveller is only allowed if the
permissible slope of 12.5 % (7°) is observed.
Orange markings on the dock leveller platform
and additionally on the frame for dock levellers
with a nominal length of 2000 mm indicate that
the permissible inclination range is no longer
met. Also observe the permissible incline for the
operation of the forklift truck used.
• The dock leveller platform may only be placed on
the truck loading area, not on a vehicle lifting
platform.
• The permissible track width of the forklift truck
used must be 700 mm less than the nominal
width of the dock leveller (e.g. nominal width =
2000 mm → industrial truck width maximum
1300 mm).
