PLATFORM WILL NOT PICK UP RATED CAPACITY

1.

Check the Battery Cables for damage, and the Battery for a charge.

Replace or recharge as needed. The use of a Voltage Load Tester is
recommended.

2.

Check for structural damage to the liftgate. Visually inspect for improper

bending of structures that could prevent normal operation.

3.

Check the Hydraulic Cylinders as follows:

GRAVITY DOWN UNITS: Lower the

Platform to the ground. Remove the hose
from the Top Port of each Cylinder. Raise the
Platform and see if any oil sprays out of the
fitting. If so, the Piston Seals are worn and
need replacing.

POWER DOWN UNITS: Raise the

Platform to bed height. Remove the hose
from the Top Port of each Cylinder. Raise the
Platform and see if a continuous flow of oil
escapes from the fitting. If so, the Piston
Seals are worn and need replacing.
