OPERATION
The operator presses the raise button until the deck is a sufficient height to then extend the lip fully. If an end load is required, the operator extends the lip as far as possible into the rail car without interfering with the load to be added or removed.
When the end load function is completed, it is recommended that the lip be fully extended after raising the deck slightly. The leveler will float with the rail car during loading to maintain lip contact at all times.
After loading or off-loading is complete the operator presses and releases the store button and the leveler will automatically raise, retract lip and lower to its stored position.
CONSTRUCTION
