4. Raise the platform (FIG. 45-1). Look for any
interference between liftgate and vehicle as
platform is raised.
5. Lower platform to the ground (FIG. 45-2).
Look for any interference between liftgate
and vehicle as platform is lowered. If the
platform lowers with a “jerking” motion,
bleed air from the hydraulic system by doing
the following. Push the control switch to the
DOWN position until you hear air escap-
ing into the hydraulic fl uid reservoir. Then,
raise the platform (FIG. 45-3). Look for any
interference between liftgate and vehicle as
platform is raised. Repeat step until there is
no air left in the system and platform lowers
smoothly (FIG. 45-3).
