8 MOUNTING OF THE LIFT FRAME: 3 WAYS TO GET STARTED
•
In general, there are 3 different methods to fit the slider liftgates:
1. Using the fitting jigs supplied with the liftgate. This method is suitable for all slider lifts with a standard, conical platform
(DH- SM(R), SSU(R), SMP, SV, …), but not for slider lifts with a flat platform (DH - SK…). See section 8.1 below.
2. Using the platform lifted in a horizontal position. This method is suitable for the slider liftgates with a flat platform (DH- SK…)
but can also be used for all other liftgate types. See section 8.2 below.
3. Using the quick-fit transport rack (option S410). See section 8.3 below.
8.1 METHOD WITH THE FITTING JIGS
•
There are 2 types of fitting jigs: 1 set for the standard platforms [Figure 8.1], and 1 set for option S245.S [Figure 8.2].
•
Measure the outside width across the lift arms. This dimension corresponds with the inside width needed between the 2 fitting jigs.
[Figure 8.3]
•
If required, put a spacer between the rear cross member of the loading floor and the fitting jig to allow for a toe-guard, a rear rubber
seal, and door locks before fastening the fitting jigs into position.
•
Mark the centerline of the vehicle on the rear cross member of the loading floor and position the 2 fitting jigs in such a way that;
1. The distance between the 2 fitting jigs matches the outside width across the arms.
2. The distance from each fitting jig to the middle line is equal so they are perfectly centered in the rear body aperture. [Figure
