3 Preparing for installation
3.1 Requirements for installation

The vehicle exhaust must not be located at the rear of the vehicle.

Line the vehicle floor with wood panels. For other types of flooring, verify whether
installation is possible.

The rear doors must open to a minimum angle of 180°.

A spare tire must not be located between the rear axle and rear bumper.

The liftgate cannot be installed if the rear bumper has an integrated step. In this
case, the vehicle must be fitted with a standard bumper.

A step must not be installed behind the bumper.

A supplementary battery and switching strip must be present.

For vehicles with rear parking sensors, the sensors will no longer function
correctly once the platform is installed, because the lifting gear interferes with the
sensors.
CAUTION
Unsuitable transport equipment
When transporting and lifting heavy parts, use transport equipment (e.g. cranes,
pallet trucks, or other lifting gear) with a sufficient load carrying capacity.

Verify the correct and reliable functioning of the transport equipment.
3.2 Lifting the vehicle

Lift the vehicle using a lifting platform.
IMPORTANT: Installation over a pit is also possible, in which case the vehicle must
also be raised (using winches or wedges) so that the liftgate and pallet can be
inserted under the vehicle.
3.3 Preparing the vehicle

Secure the vehicle in place to prevent unintentional movement.
 Disconnect the vehicle battery. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for
correctly handling the battery.

Be careful not to damage the vehicle. We recommend using appropriate
coverings.
