INSTALLING DOCK LEVELER SEALS
STOP! -

With our seals on the sides
and back of your dockboards, nothing enters your building - unless YOU
want it to.
There are two ways to mount
brush seals on dockboards; one is for units that are normally raised to
meet the truck and another for those docks used primarily in a lowered
position. The point is to protect the seal from forklift damage by
mounting it where it's least likely to be exposed.
As seen here, the B90 brush
seal mounts against the curb angle near floor level and presses upon the
leveler's toe guard or skirt (3 lengths of bristle available - check gap
sizes). Cut side length, from rear to front, about 3" beyond
door. Hacksaw aluminum separately and cut brush holder with wire
cutters to crimp filament in place. Apply sealant or construction
adhesive to rearmost 6" of aluminum channel and mount ½" below
floor level at rear, to about 1" at the door. A powder actuated
fastener gun does the best and fastest job of attaching this piece.

"Above
Board" Installation

To protect the seals when the leveler
is mostly used in a down position, we suggest mounting the seals
below floor level and onto the toeguard or skirt area of the leveler
itself. To maintain a full seal, we must reach the door-bottom
seal with this seal. To accomplish this, we recommend a
"Z" pattern installation as shown.

The leveler's hinges will usually interfere
with mounting the brush and extrusion together, therefore the
extrusion must be cut into sections to fit between hinges; but the
brush should be left a single unit across the width of the dockboard.
The whole assembly must be lowered beneath the back lip in one
piece, as there's not room to slide the brush in later. Drill
properly spaced 7/32" holes through top plate and add 3/8"
countersinks. Lower complete brush and extrusion assembly
under the top plate, to where the brush presses firmly against the
pit back wall. Holding the extrusion tight against the
underside of the leveler's surface, drill matching holes through the
extrusion. Pop-rivet sections in place. |
