STEP 11 - ADJUST PLATFORM (IF REQUIRED)
1. RAISE platform to bed height. Check
the platform as follows. Inboard edge
on top of platform must be no more
than 1/4” from diamond plate surface
on top of extension plate (FIGS. 48-1A
& 48-1B). The maximum allowable
horizontal gap between inboard edge
of platform and adjacent edge of exten-
sion plate is 5/8” +/- 1/8” (FIGS. 48-1A
& 48-1C). LOWER platform to ground
level. Shackles and tip of fl ipover should
touch the ground at the same time (FIG.
48-2). Tip of fl ipover must not be higher
than 1/4” above the ground. If all indica-
tions are correct (FIGS. 48-1A, 48-1B,
48-1C, & 48-2), Liftgate is installed
correctly and no adjustment is needed.
If the tip of fl ipover is too high above the
ground, if shackles are off the ground,
or if there is too much gap between
platform and extension plate, continue
doing this procedure.

NOTE: In most cases, if Liftgate is installed
according to the instructions in this
manual, platform will not require
adjustment. Use the following instruc-
tions to check the platform. Adjust the
platform only if required.
NOTE: Before doing the following procedure,
make sure vehicle is still parked on
level ground.
TIP OF FLIPOVER
1/4”
(MAX.)
NOTE: If the shackles do not touch the ground
(see FIG. 49-1), do instruction 2. If
the tip of the fl ipover is more than 1/4”
above the ground (see FIG. 48-2), skip
instructions 2 - 5 and do instruction
6. If there is too much vertical space
(FIG. 48-1B) or horizontal space (FIG.
48-1C) between platform and exten-
sion plate, start with instruction 7 to
remove and reinstall Liftgate.
