MOUNTING GATE
1. Unfold the secondary platform.
2. Clamp the secondary platform to the forks of the lift truck. Approximately
centered (See illustration).
3. There are two angles in the shipping kit, 5” x 3” x 1/4” x 3” lg. Lay these two
angles on top of the extension plate to space the platform out 1/4” (See sketch).
4. Pick up the gate assembly. Center on the floor extension, and push against the
floor extension and the 1/4 spacers. With two pieces of scrap channel or angle,
clamp platform flush with floor. Use four clamps. Clamp channels to extension
and platform. Tip of the platform should be 1” higher than the floor extension.
5. With a floor jack and a piece of 4” x 4” wood, swing and raise the main tube until
it is at dimension “B” (mounting plates should be outside the truck frame).
6. With a large pipe wrench, rotate the main tube, so that the clevis plate edges are
vertical. Then check the rod of the lift cylinder. You should see about 1/2” of
polished rod.
7. Now tack weld the main support plates and tube in position, strong enough to
hold, so you can run the gate up and down, without a load on it. This is to check
the gate functions properly.
8. Unclamp the four clamps holding the platform to the floor extension.
Caution: Do not unclamp the tip of the platform from the forks.
9. Let the lift truck forks down slowly until they will not go any more. (They will stop
about 1/2 way down, when they meet resistance from the oil in the lifting
cylinder).
10. Install the gate control switch in the desired location and route the wire to the
power unit. Slide a piece of supplied shrink tube over the thermal switch wire and
connect the black control wire to thermal switch wire using the butt connector
pre-installed on the wire. Move the shrink tube to cover the connection and heat
to shrink and seal the connection. Connect the white control wire to the lowering
valve in the same manner. Attach the green control wire with ring terminal to the
large open post of the starter solenoid. See page 14 for switch mounting details.
11. For temporary power, use a 12 volt battery. Run a wire from the battery to the
starter solenoid, run a ground wire to the truck. The gate will now run. Lower the
gate to the ground and check / add oil before attempting to run the motor to raise
the gate. See chart 5-18 Recommended Oils.
12. After oil has been checked, run gate up and down to check its operation.
