• 

Depending  on  configuration,  the  power  to  the  liftgate  can  be  switched  ON  /  OFF  by  means  of  a  cabin  switch,  a  main  battery 
disconnect switch, or a combination of both.

 

example 

Push button to switch liftgate power ON (indicator light on) 
Push button to switch liftgate power OFF (indicator light off) 
 
If platform is equipped with a tilt sensor, indicator light can be 
configured to switch on if platform is not closed in its travel 
position.

NOTICE 

In case of combined system, (main battery disconnect and cabin switch) both must be switched on to activate the liftgate. Switching
