7.2.3. Bolting the lifting mechanism to the installation aid
►
Make sure that the lifting mechanism is in its final installation position.
►
With a sealing system, fit 25 mm spacers to ensure the correct distance
between the torsion frame control rods and the vehicle chassis (see note
on page 37).
Note:
We recommend installing a sealing system before installing the tail lift.
►
Secure the position of the lifting mechanism to the vehicle chassis with
screw clamps.
►
Lay the cables and hoses under the vehicle chassis. Route the cables and
hoses so that they cannot be damaged by movements of the tail lift or the
vehicle.
►
Bolt the lifting mechanism with the installation aid (see Figure 15).
►
Check the alignment to the vehicle body. Both control rods of the torsion
frame must be flush with the rear-cross member.
