2. Make sure platform is still at ground level. If
the shackle is not touching the ground, mea-
sure and compare distance “A” (FIG. 18-3A)
with TABLE 18-1 to determine the correct
shim. Next, mark position on shackle (FIG.
18-3B).
1. Make sure platform is at ground level. Unfold
the platform and fl ipover. As the platform fi rst
touches the ground, shackles and tip of fl ipover
must touch the ground at the same time (FIG.
18-1). If the shackles and the tip of fl ipover
touch the ground at the same time, raise plat-
form to bed height. Outboard edge on top of
fl ipover should be above bed level (FIG. 18-2).
If indications are correct in both cases (FIGS.
18-1 & 18-2), Liftgate is installed correctly and
no adjustment is needed. If indications are
incorrect, continue with instruction 2.
