Installing lifting mechanism
7.1.4 Positioning the stand tube

Adjust the stand tube height according to the general installation
diagram. Ensure the greatest possible ground clearance and
the free movement of all components.

Move the stand tube into the horizontal position so that the top
edge is parallel to the vehicle body.

Secure the stand tube with screw clamps.
7.1.5 Fixing the lifting mechanism to console plates
on the vehicle chassis
Attachment of the lifting mechanism to the vehicle chassis depends
on the type of console plates used. The following console pates
can be ordered from
PALFINGER Tail Lifts :
• welded consoles
• bolted consoles
The installation sequence differs according to the type of console
plates used.
The welded consoles are attached in advance by PALFINGER Tail
Lifts to the lifting mechanism. The customer notifies PALFINGER
Tail Lifts of the required distances between the consoles and these
cannot be subsequently changed. The lifting mechanism is attached
with the console plates to the vehicle chassis.
The bolted consoles are first adjusted on the lifting mechanism
to the chassis size and then fixed. Together with the lifting
mechanism, they are then attached to the vehicle chassis. The long
holes in the bolted consoles make transverse adjustments possible.
