Check the platform and fl ipover as follows. Unfold
the platform and fl ipover. Raise the platform to
vehicle bed height and then lower it to the ground.
Check if the shackles and tip of fl ipover touch the
ground at the same time (FIG. 13-1). With the
shackles touching, tip of a ramp-style fl ipover may
be no more than 1/4” above the ground. A fl ipover
equipped with retention ramp may have a maximum
2” of ground clearance at the tip of the fl ipover.
Visually check the entire Liftgate for excessively worn
parts and broken welds, especially hinge pins. See
PARTS BREAKDOWN section for replacement parts.

Also, for aluminum fl ipovers
equipped with single re-
tention ramp and for steel
fl ipovers, ensure latch is
in place, undamaged, and
working correctly. See
PARTS BREAKDOWN
sec-
tion for replacement parts.
If the shackles are 1” or more above the ground
when the tip of the fl ipover is touching the ground
(FIG. 13-2), perform the ADJUST PLATFORM
procedure in the Installation Manual (M-18-14).
If the adjustment does not correct the problem,
check pins and bearings at the pivot points on both
sides of the Liftgate (see FIG. 13-3).
