11. Unfold the kick flap from underneath the platform flap and lay it
horizontally to bridge the gap between the LiftGator and the
vehicle’s cargo bed.
12. Ensure that the license plate is visible by raising the platform until
the kick flap is horizontal or sloping downwards into the vehicle’s
cargo bed.
LiftGator Removal:
1. Pull onto a hard, flat surface, such as concrete or asphalt, to remove
the LiftGator.
2. Fold the platform into the vertical position with the kick flap tucked
beneath the platform flap so that it is held in place by the platform
flap’s hanging weight.
3. Using the power switch located behind the passenger side stabilizer
leg housing, position the platform as low as possible while still
allowing room to remove the hitch pin and loosen the hitch quiet
clamp.
4. Loosen, but do not fully remove, the hitch quiet clamp nuts and slide
it over the hitch for storage.
5. Attach the skates to the underside of each stabilizer leg by poking the
studs through the holes in the stabilizer foot and clamping them
together with the knob fasteners.
6. Holding the skate in place, pull the stabilizer leg pin and gently lower
the skate to the ground. Pin the stabilizer back into place. Repeat for
the opposite stabilizer.
7. Rotate each stabilizer handle clockwise 10-20 times until the hitch
begins to visibly lift within the hitch receiver.
8. Remove the hitch pin and place in safe location.
