9. Tack weld the liftgate to both corner posts of the
vehicle. Place the tack welds (8 welds) at the top and
bottom (inside and outside) of each column. The tack
welds should be a minimum of
3/16 x 2 inches long and capable of holding at least
2600 pounds.
The fi nal welding of the liftgate will be completed after
the unit is tested for correct operation.
CAUTION
CRUSH HAZARD
The tack welds must be strong enough
to hold the weight of the liftgate.
Insufficient welds may not hold the liftgate in place,
resulting in possible bodily harm.
4.8.2 Weld Power Pack And Battery Box
Enclosures To Truck Body
We recommend installing the power unit enclosure
(30 inches long) and the battery enclosure (27 inches
long) on the curbside of the vehicle for safety purposes,
such as when service is required on the road.
Typically the units are mounted behind the rear wheels
(behind the furthest rear wheel on a trailer). However, if
the space will not allow both units to be installed side by
side, the power units can be in front of the rear wheels,
or one unit on either side of the rear wheels as shown in
this manual. Mounting the power unit enclosure in front
of the wheels may require a hose and wiring extension kit
(contact Anthony factory for an extension kit).
The hoses and wires supplied with the power units allow
it to be mounted a maximum of 4 feet from the rear of the
vehicle. Before welding the unit to the frame, make sure
the hoses and wires will reach the enclosure box.
1. Make sure the truck body crossmembers are clean
and free of dirt or paint.
2. Raise the power unit until the “hanger channels”
contact the underside of the chassis (or trailer)
crossmembers.
3. Use 1/4 inch welds to weld the hanger channels
to all chassis crossmembers or a minimum of
three trailer crossmembers and add any necessary
bracing. Cover the power unit components to
prevent damage from welding sparks.
4. Raise the battery box unit until the “hanger channel”
contacts the underside of the chassis (or trailer)
crossmembers.
