grounding surfaces MUST be cleaned, prepped, and sealed per this manual. “Cut to size”
cables MUST be properly crimped and sealed as factory supplied. All connections MUST be
dressed with dielectric grease or equivalent sealer.
Review lift gate invoice, packing slip, and installation drawing to assure delivery of correct gate
and complete delivery of accessories and optional equipment.
Read and understand the “Installation Manual” and “Owner’s Manual” in their entirety before
starting your Installation.

All welding should be performed by qualified personnel per AWS standards.
