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.
22-1). If shackles and tip of fl ipover touch the
ground at the same time, RAISE platform to bed
height. Tip of fl ipover should be above bed level
(FIG. 22-2). If indications are correct in both
cases (FIGS. 22-1 & 22-2), Liftgate is installed
correctly and no adjustment is needed. If indica-
tions are incorrect, continue with instruction 2.
TABLE 22-1
2. Make sure platform is still at ground level. If
the shackle is not touching the ground, mea-
sure and compare distance “A” (FIG. 22-3)
with TABLE 22-1 to determine the correct
shim. Make shims as needed (FIG. 22-5).
Weld shim as shown in FIG. 22-4.
NOTE: If tip of fl ipover touches fi rst (FIG.
22-3), do instruction 2. If the shackle
touches fi rst (FIG. 21-1), skip instruc-
tion 2 and do 3.
