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. 53-1). If the
shackles and the 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.
53-2). If indications are correct in both cases
(FIGS. 53-1 & 53-2), Liftgate is installed correctly
and no adjustment is needed. If indications are
incorrect, continue with instruction 2.
TABLE 53-1
2. Make sure platform is still at ground level. If
the shackle is not touching the ground, mea-
sure and compare distance “A” (FIG. 53-3)
with TABLE 53-1 to determine the correct
shim. Make shims as needed (FIG. 53-5).
Weld shim as shown in FIG. 53-4.
NOTE: If tip of fl ipover touches fi rst (FIG.
53-3), do instruction 2. If the shackle
touches fi rst (FIG. 54-1), skip instruc-
tion 2 and do 3.
