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 unfolded
and raised to bed level,
check if the outboard
edge of platform is level
or rises up to 1” above
bed level (YES illustra-
tion). If the outboard
edge of platform looks
like the YES illustration,
you can operate Liftgate.
If the outboard edge of
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.)
