12. Measure distance “C” from
the tip of the fl ipover to ground
level (FIG. 53-1). Next, subtract
the distance “B” measured
in instruction 6. The result is
distance “D” for the platform
adjustment (FIG. 53-3). For ex-
ample, if you measured 50” for
“C” and 1” for “B”, the calculat-
ed distance “D” for the platform
adjustment is 49”.
14. Raise or lower the fl oor
jack to adjust distance “D”
between tip of fl ipover and
ground level (FIG. 53-3).
Use the distance “D” cal-
culated in instruction 12.
13. Remove welds from RH side
and LH side mounting plates
(FIG. 53-2).
