INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Inspect entire package of your new liftgate for obvious damage. Report any damage to
the freight line who delivered your liftgate. DO NOT REMOVE ANY BANDING!
Step 2
Locate the vehicle on which the liftgate is to be mounted on a dry and level floor and
open the rear door on the vehicle.
Step 3
Raise gate and place it against the rear of the vehicle and remove any obstructions
where possible. If obstruction can not be removed, use 4 spacers 12" long x 3" wide by
depth of interference and weld to top and bottom of rails. See figure 2. (If structural
angle or tubing is used for spacer, it must have a .25" minimum wall thickness). The
depth of the spacers may vary from top to bottom to enable a perpendicular mounting
to the ground. See figure 3.
Step 4
If the gate width does not match the width of the vehicle body, fabricate 4 adapters .25"
minimum wall thickness x 12" long. Weld adapters to the back side of liftgate's rails to
match location of body's rear corner posts as shown in figure 4.
