2.4.3
Checking the chassis perforations
Refer to the order form, distinguish the right & left side mounting plates and the front & rear end of the mounting plates and
identify the existing chassis perforations and reinforcements that will be used to fit the mounting plates to the chassis.
If the existing chassis perforations and reinforcements don’t comply with the provided mounting plates, check the study or order
form to see how the chassis needs to be adapted to correctly fit the wheelchair lift. Use mounting plates as drilling templates by
marking the centres of the holes that need to be made.
The lift can be temporarily placed in the correct location to mark the drill locations after the mounting plates have been correctly
fitted to the cassette.
WARNING
Incorrect installation of the mounting plates and bolts can lead to a sudden drop or movement of the wheelchair lift when put in
use. This could damage the wheelchair lift and / or vehicle chassis and can cause serious bodily injury or death to the operator
and any bystanders.
Therefore, it is essential that the mounting plates are installed following the instructions of this manual.
WARNING
During installation, the bolts and nuts should be fastened with the proper torque. See appendix 9.2 for the torque values.
If you use mounting bolts that were not supplied by DHOLLANDIA, make sure the total strength is at least equivalent as per
this manual.
Check and retighten the bolts after static and dynamic load tests were performed at the end of the installation process.
