•
The fitting height, MFC , is measured from the top of the loading floor of the vehicle to the center of the lift arm articulation pin. Be sure
to follow these instructions as failure to do so could result in installation errors.
•
As a general rule, in the absence of a FITTING DRAWING with a confirmed fitting height, this dimension can be calculated as follows:
Ex. For vehicle with 49¼” ( 1250mm) bed height:
•
Fitting height MFT = ( 49¼” – 5” )/2 = 27

(555 mm)
•
You might want to deviate from the initial mounting height MFT . Examples:
1. In order to increase the ground clearance MTG , you could choose to fit liftgate higher above ground
2. In case of short mounting space LOF / LOP , you could choose to fit liftgate lower to the ground
3. To comply with RUP regulations, you could choose to fit liftgate higher above or lower to the ground.
•
When changing the fitting height, refer to the TECHNICAL SUMMARY of the liftgate in question and be sure to stay within the given
ranges of dimensions
VFH , MFT , and MTG given for every lift arm.
•
Also make sure that the new fitting situation complies with the compulsory bumper bar regulations. See [Figure 6.9] for an example
of the important fitting dimensions.
