ALL ALUMINUM TVL 125/16
ATTENTION INSTALLERS:
Changes are made periodically to the installation procedure to comply with engineering
changes. To ensure proper liftgate operation, it is VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand
the installation instructions before attempting an installation. Installers also
MUST read and
understand the liftgate’s Owner’s Manual before installing the liftgate, so they can operate the
liftgate safely as required during different stages of the installation process.
NEVER perform
a modification on the liftgate, which is not specifically covered in this manual or which is
unauthorized by Thieman. Modifications may result in failure of the liftgate and may create
hazards for liftgate installers, operators, or maintainers. Serious damage, equipment failure, or
operator injury could result from improper installation. This equipment
MUST have all decals
applied properly.
FAILURE to apply all decals properly will VOID all warranties! Any installer
with questions or doubts should contact Thieman before proceeding.
NOTES:
1. All maximum mounting dimensions are shown with the vehicle empty; all minimum
mounting dimensions are shown with the vehicle loaded.
2. Check the bed height when vehicle is parked on a level surface.
3. Refer to figure 1 and table 1 for overall dimensions of liftgates and bed height ranges for
different models.
4. The TVL series railgates are all level ride, which means when the vehicle is located on a level
surface; the rails should be perpendicular to the ground. When mounting, consideration
should be given to the platform position with the truck both empty and loaded. See figure 2
and 3.
NOTES:
1. All bed height ranges shown in tables 1 allow installer to provide a minimum of 18" of
ground clearance by cutting off the lower end of the rail as needed unless otherwise stated.
Rails must NOT be cut more than 22" above the ground (Note: 22" measurement must
be made with truck unloaded. See Step 9 of Installation Instructions. On special orders,
consult factory as the allowable trim dimensions may vary from what is shown here).
