Introduction Poweramp. Read the entire manual before installing and/or operating the truck restraint. Poweramp mechanical truck restraints were designed to be compatible with almost all dock designs. See Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 Pit Style Leveler Figure 2 Edge of Dock Poweramp mechanical restraints can be accompanied by a Dockalert light communication package and sign kit.
Introduction Red Light When not in use, the restraint must be kept in the stored position. If equipped with lights, the light selector switch should be in either the automatic or stored position depending on restraint model. Units equipped with automatic light operation should have the light control switch placed in the automatic postion. Units equipped with manual light operation must have the light control switch placed in the position that matches the restraint position.
Installation These installation instructions were written to guide you during the installation process. Please read and familiarize yourself with all sections of this manual prior to starting the installation. If you have any questions about the installation or operation of the Poweramp mechanical truck restraint, please consult the factory at (414) 2551510 before proceeding. Open and inspect all material upon delivery. Check contents against packing slip.
Installation Plumb Line 1" Main Achors Figure 7 4. Preparation of the anchor hole is necessary to assure a long lasting installation. Prepare the 1-1/8" diameter holes in the following manner: A. Blow the hole clean with compressed air, brush out using 1" nylon brush, blow clean again. Holes should be clean and sound. They may be dry or damp, but should be free of standing water or frost. Be sure rod fits into hole.
Installation Using the proper diameter bit, drill a hole into the base material to a depth of at least 1/2" or one anchor diameter deeper than the embedment required. The tolerances of the drill bit used should meet ANSI Standard B94.12. Blow the hole clean of dust and other material. Remove the inspection tag from the anchor and position the fixture. Do not expand the anchor prior to installation.
Installation If your mechanical restraint is equipped with a Dock alert light communication package, please continue to follow the installation instructions. If your unit is not equipped with lights, please turn to the operation section, page 9. INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS When equipped with a light communication package, the mechanical restraint includes a prewired control box, outside light box, and (2) outside truck driver signs. Components such as conduit, fittings, anchors, etc.
Operation The Poweramp mechanical truck restraint was designed to work in conjunction with other dock equipment allowing the dock attendant to create a safer working environment. Before operating the equipment, be sure the rear of the trailer has been parked tight against the face of both dock bumpers. If your loading dock is equipped with a dock leveler, the hinged lip must be in the pendant, stored position prior to operating the restraint.
Operation OPERATION WITH MANUAL LIGHTS 1. Switch the inside control box light control switch to the released position. Verify that the green light has illuminated. 2. Verify that the trailer is parked tight against both bumpers. 3. Insert one end of the operating bar under the release lever on the left hand side of the restraint. 4. Lift up on the operating bar, causing the release lever to rotate, thus activating the restraint. With the restraint activated, the restraint arm will move vertically. 5.
Maintenance/Troubleshooting MAINTENANCE 1. Good housekeeping practice is the most commonly needed truck restraint requirement. Shipping and receiving docks are notorious for having wood scraps, steel banding and other debris laying at the front of the dock. Daily patrol truck restraint area and clean up dock. 2. Depending on the type of application, the truck restraints usually require lubrication every three months. Lubricate back track with an anti-seize lubricant. Lubricate linkage with 30 wt. oil. 3.
Maintenance/Troubleshooting 3. If signal lights, either inside or outside, fail to operate or operate incorrectly: NOTE: Both sets of lights are controlled from the same control box switch. A. Check bulbs. Replace as required. B. Check on/off switch. Repair or replace if needed. C. Check electrical power source. 4. If restraint is equipped with automatic light control and lights do not change properly, test relay in control box and proximity switch on restraint for proper operation.
