1.
On a flat, smooth surface, roll the LiftGator up to the vehicle’s hitch
receiver so the two long axes align.
WARNING: If transporting over uneven or tilted surfaces, be careful not to tip the
LiftGator. Always keep the center of gravity low by lowering the platform before
transporting.
2.
If a height difference exists, raise or lower the hitch by
using
stabilizer leg switches on each stabilizer motor
, until the axes of the
hitch and the hitch receiver align.
3.
Slide the hitch into the hitch receiver until the holes align, insert the
hitch pin and secure it into place with a safety clip.
4.
Suggested:
If equipped, wrap the hitch quiet clamp around the hitch
and hitch receiver. Lightly oil and tighten the nuts to a snug fit of
approximately 10
-13 lb.
5.
Pull the bottom pin on the stabilizer legs to remove the skates.
6.
Using the switch, move the stabilizer leg up until the weight of the
LiftGator is removed from the stabilizer.
7.
The skate should fall from the stabilizer leg, and you should be left
with just the square foot of the stabilizer leg. Place skates carefully to
the side.
8.
Continue to raise the stabilizer until the stabilizer leg is as high as
possible for ground clearance.
9.
Repeat steps 6-9 for the opposite stabilizer leg.
10.
Suggested:
If equipped with the hitch quiet clamp, check the
clearance between the hitch and hitch receiver by rocking the
LiftGator from side to side. If too much movement occurs, level the
LiftGator relative to the truck and tighten the hitch quiet clamp
again. Repeat this step until excessive motion ceases.
WARNING: Do not over tighten the nuts on the hitch quiet clamp; it will damage
the threads. Light oiling of the threads before tightening and torqueing to 10-13
lb. will mitigate this risk.
