28. Lower the liftgate to the ground and check
hydraulic fluid level by removing the pump
reservoir compartment cover. The level should be
approximately 1/2” below the top of the hydraulic
reservoir. If the fluid level is low, fill to the proper
level with Mobil DTE-13, Pennzoil AWX, or Dexron II
automatic transmission fluid.
Note : Checking the hydraulic fl uid level while the liftgate
is raised will result in overfi lling.
CAUTION
Do not mix hydraulic fluid with brake fluid, and do not
use brake fluid in place of hydraulic fluid.
29. Discard the shipping plug in the hydraulic fluid
reservoir and replace with the supplied breather cap.
Tip: Certain models may already have a leak-proof
breather cap in place. If so equipped, it is not
necessary to replace the shipping plug.
30. Install the provided safety decals in the locations
shown. Refer to”7. Decals” on page 27.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury from not being
aware of safety recommendations, make sure
all decals are attached to the liftgate and/or
truck and are legible at all times!
Safety decals provide a vital role in helping reduce injury
and/or death. To ensure the greatest level of safety, all
decals must be attached to the liftgate and be legible
at all times. Remember, it is the users’ responsibility
to maintain these decals. For decal placement, or a
complete part number list and illustration of the decals
used on the liftgate, refer to “7. Decals” on page 27 in
this manual.

31. Complete the items in the Final Inspection Checklist.
Refer to “8. Final Inspection Checklist” on page

WARNING
Anthony Liftgates strongly recommends the
installation of a power cut-off solenoid (“6.6
Cut-Off Solenoid Connection Option” on page
26) or cab cut-off switch (“6.7 Cut-Off Switch
Connection Option” on page 26). Allowing power
to the liftgate when the truck is unattended can result
in serious injury or death.
32. Check the operation of the liftgate:
a. Make sure the platform will travel through a
complete cycle, up and down, smoothly and freely,
with the platform completely open.
b. Make sure the platform will fold and latch securely
in the stored position. The liftgate must fold
smoothly and freely.
c. Make sure hydraulic hose fittings are tight and
the hydraulic hose does not rub against the
liftgate or other parts while cycling up or down, or
being opened or closed. Adjust as necessary by
loosening fittings and adjusting the position of the
hose(s). Retighten fittings.
