Installing and connecting the platform

Carefully raise the platform and move it into the installation 
position at the truck tailgate.

Maintain the installation position with the lifting equipment until 
the platform is bolted to control rod and tilt cylinders.

9.2

Bolting the platform to the control rod

Make sure that the platform is in its final installation position.

Bolt the platform to the control rod. Use the spacer discs supplied 
to align the platform centrally with the body.

NOTE

On a type C 750 S tail lift with a 550 control rod, you may only move the platform by 
one disc from the centre.
