
Hoist the platform up to extension plate and 76mm alignment tubes. Simultaneously jack the lift frame up to the correct mounting
height MFT. [Figure 9.6]

When jacking up the lift frame, push from the centreline of the lift frame. DO NOT apply force at either end of the lift frame to
change or correct the mounting height at one side only.

Ensure that the platform is centred in the centreline of the vehicle, and that it is flush and parallel with the extension plate.

Secure the correct platform position by clamping the platform main section to the 76mm mounting tubes. [Figure 9.6]


If required, tilt the lift frame relative to the vehicle chassis, to ensure that the top surface of the lift frame is parallel to the vehicle
floor. A torpedo level is commonly used to ensure the alignment of the lift frame and vehicle floor. If convenient, the piston-rod
ends of the lift cylinders may be disconnected so that the lift arms and lift frame can move freely. [Figure 9.7]
WARNING

The platform and attached lift frame are very heavy! When falling on a person, they can cause serious personal injury or death.

Therefore, handle the platform and attached lift frame with great care. Use hoists and a gantry crane to raise the platform and
attached lift frame in their correct mounting position.

Place C-clamps on each side of the platform to prevent the hoist chain from slipping off the platform.
