Roller Opener Installation
17. Roller Opener Installation
1. With the liftgate in the stored position, lower the
platform and position the opener on the step so it
contacts the tip of the ramp half of the platform
(Figure 53)
.
2. After the roller openers are in the correct position, prep
the vehicle frame by grinding off any paint or galvanizing
to within 1"-4" (25-101 mm) of the weld surface.
3. Weld the roller opener into position
(Figure 54 and 55)
.
Repeat these Steps 1-3 for the opposite side.
NOTE:
When welding is required, ensure that the battery
ground cable is disconnected and that all electrical
equipment is completely electrically isolated before
welding is initiated.
Failure to isolate electrical equipment
from ground prior to welding could result
in overload which, if not avoided, could
result in property damage.
4. Touch up paint as required. For galvanized liftgates, touch
up in accordance with the most recent release of ASTM
A 780: Standard Practice for Repair of Damaged and
Uncoated Areas of Hot Dip Galvanized Coatings, which
specifies the use of zinc-rich paints.
