Check the platform and fl ipover for cracks, holes, and bends on the
load-carrying surface and side plates. Also, make sure torsion bars,
coil springs, and fasteners are in place and undamaged.
Make sure platform and fl ipover load-carrying surfaces are clean (no
oil, debris, or corrosion).
Use the operation instructions in this manual to operate the Liftgate
through one cycle without a load on the platform. Raise the platform
to vehicle bed height. Next, lower the platform to ground level.
When the Liftgate is moving, listen for unusual noises and look for a
“jerking” motion or uneven movement on either side of the platform.
If service or repairs are not required (or if completed), stow the Lift-
gate.
With the platform un-
folded and raised to bed
level, check if the platform
is level (YES illustra-
tion). If the platform looks
like the YES illustration,
you can operate Liftgate.
If the platform is below
level line and platform
looks like the NO illustra-
tion, do not operate the
Liftgate. (See NOTE at
beginning of the DAILY
OPERATION CHECKS.)
