6. Drill two holes through the lens and the lip using
a #32 (0.116”) drill, to accept the #8 self tapping
screws. Make sure these screws will be accessible
once the liftgate has been installed.
7. To prevent possible cracking, enlarge the holes in the
lens only using a #18 (0.170”) drill.
8. Using suitable “S” hooks and lifting chain, insert
“S” hooks into the 5/8” holes in the liftgate H-frame.
Raise the liftgate with a hoist or forklift.
9. Position the liftgate so the mounting lip of the liftgate
is resting on the truck bed and is as far forward as
possible.
10. Clamp the liftgate securely to the truck bed, using
pipe clamps or ratchet straps on each side of the
bed. Make sure the liftgate is square to the truck
bed. Tighten the clamps or straps so that the liftgate
posts are perpendicular to the truck bed.
Tip: If the truck bed is not parallel to the ground, the
liftgate must be mounted so the liftgate posts are
perpendicular to the ground in order for the platform
to lay fl at on the ground when lowered.
