Installing and connecting the platform
9 Installing and connecting the platform
If you have assembled your PALFINGER Tail Lifts tail lift with pre-
mounted platform (see chapter 7.2 onpage 32), you can skip the first
three steps in the platform assembly instructions and begin with
step “Adjusting the tilt cylinder” on page 47.
The following steps are required:
• bring up the platform with the lifting equipment and position it (see
chapter 9.1 on page 41)
• bolt the platform to the control rod (see chapter 9.2 on
page 42)
• Bolting the platform to the first tilt cylinder
(see chapter 9.3 on page 44),
• adjust the tilt cylinder (see chapter 9.4 on page 47),
• bolt the platform to the second tilt cylinder (see chapter 9.5 on
page 48)
• Connecting plug for foot-operated switch and Warnfix
(see chapter 9.6 on page 48),
• install tilt sensor (see chapter 9.7 on page 49).
9.1 Moving up and positioning platform
This step is only required if you have installed your PALFINGER
Tail Lifts tail lift with the supplied installation aids (see chapter 7.1
on page 23).
Raise the platform with a suitable lifting equipment, e.g. a forklift
truck and bring the platform up to the truck tailgate.
