edge does not touch the ground, refer to the next
step.

18. If the platform is operating correctly, finish welding
the mounting plates. If the platform does not make
a complete cycle, adjust the mounting plates, as
necessary.
CAUTION
Take precautions to avoid
welding sparks coming
into contact with the truck
bed’s wooden floor or other flammable components.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
For safety purposes, finish
welding the liftgate while the
platform is on the ground, not in
a raised position.
NOTICE
Cover the cylinder rod to prevent
weld spatter from damaging it.
19. With the platform on the ground, finish welding the
mounting plates to the truck frame and adapter
frame tube. Use a continuous weld around all sides
of the adapter frame tube and on both sides of the
mounting plates.
