Consider the safety and location of bystanders and location of nearby objects when operating the

performing maintenance on the Liftgate and handling the battery. Debris from drilling and contact

A correctly installed Liftgate operates smoothly and reasonably quiet. The only noticeable noise
during operation comes from the power unit while the platform is raised and lowered. Listen for
scraping, grating and binding noises and correct the problem before continuing to operate Liftgate.

applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations pertaining to the trailer or truck.
