WORDS OF CAUTION
1. Before any maintenance is performed on this unit, read and understand this
manual completely.
2. Do not stand on or behind the platform when operating gate in the folded
position.
3. Make sure the ground is clear under the platform when lowering.
4. Do not stand in front of platform when lowering from vertical position or operating
in any manner.
5. Never exceed the rated load capacity of this gate.
6. Do not allow persons to operate the unit unless they have been properly trained
to do so.
7. Use only factory authorized parts for replacement.
8. Check the area around the unit for persons before operating the lift gate.
9. This lift gate should operate smoothly and the only noise that should be heard is
the power unit. Any audible sounds other than the normal power unit operation
sound should be thoroughly inspected and the cause of the noise should be pin-
pointed and corrected.
10. Do not over load – the maximum rated capacity is based on an evenly distributed
load all over the platforms flat surface.
11. Always load as close to the center of the platform and as close to the center of
the truck sill as possible.
12. 150 Amp circuit breaker (not supplied) must be installed between the starter
solenoid and the battery source.
Order from factory as option #111-Circuit Breaker.
We urge the installation of a safety cut-off switch for all truck mounted lift gates. These
are installed in the cab of the vehicle, so the power to the lift gate can be turned on/off.
WARNING:
Since this gate has greaseless bearings in the main pivot points,
(tension and compression arms and platform parts) any welding on these parts must
be grounded or you will damage the cylinder.
WARNING:
Pressure relief valve in power unit must NEVER be set above
2500 psi. Pressures above 2500 psi can damage lifting arms. Failure to follow this
warning could result in accident or injury.
