The electric supply is taken from the vehicle battery. If the vehicle battery is not sufficient or not existing (like
on trailer units), an auxiliary battery kit needs to be installed. The electric control power is protected via a 20
Amp fuse and an on-off switch. The switch has L.E.D. lights indicating when the control power is on. (Trailer
applications have an on-off switch located in the lockable control box).
The liftgate is operated from an outside control box which is located on the curbside underneath the body. A
standard 2-button hand held remote control is also supplied with the lift. Foot controls are standard, which
enables the operator to handle the cargo and operate the lift by foot. A variety of different products can be
purchased with the PALFINGER Liftgate as well.

General Information
REMEMBER!
It
is the fleet manager’s responsibility to educate the operator on the liftgate and its intended use. The
operator’s attention should be drawn to the permitted load limits and an understanding of the operation to
ensure the safety throughout the operation.
ONE-MAN OPERATION!
Never let an “outsider” operate the liftgate while you are handling the cargo.
A “misunderstanding” can result in serious personal injury.
In the interest of safety it is important that all operating personnel properly understand the functions of
the lift gate, possible hazards, dangers, the load limits and load positioning for that specific unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Before the operator uses the lift
gate, they should be thoroughly familiar with the lift’s functions and
usage according to the following:
1. Improper operation of this lift can result in serious personal injury. Do not operate unless you have
been properly instructed, have read and are familiar with the operation instructions. If you do not have
a copy of the instructions please obtain them from your employer, distributor or lessor, as appropriate,
before you attempt to operate the lift.
2. Be certain the vehicle is properly and securely stopped before using the lift.
