and remain latched as the platform lowers, the lip latch bolt
may need to be readjusted Use the following procedure to
readjust the lip latch bolt:
1. Loosen the jam nuts on the lip latch bolt. See figure 13.
2 Turn the bolt clockwise one full turn at a time See
figure 13.
3 Tighten the jam nuts on the lip latch bolt
4 Follow normal operating procedures to verify that the
lip latch has been adjusted correctly and holds the
lip out as the platform lowers Test unit three times to
make sure it latches all three times, if not readjust
NOTE:
DO NOT over adjust the lip latch bolt When
properly adjusted the lip should just latch in If you
have over adjusted the lip may not release, or it
will bend the delatch rod over time Re‑adjust bolt
until lip no longer latches and then make one full
turn of the bolt until lip just latches
