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. Lower the platform to ground level.
When the Liftgate is moving, listen for unusual noises and look for jerk-
ing 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 at ve-
hicle bed height and no
load on platform, outboard
edge of platform must
be higher than extension
plate as shown in the
YES illustration. If the
platform is tilted up like
the YES illustration, you
can operate Liftgate. If
platform is level at bed
height like the NO illus-
tration, do not operate
the Liftgate. (See NOTE
at beginning of the DAIL
Y
OPERATION CHECKS.)
