1. Please check before assembly
1. Does the delivery correspond with your order?
2. Is the appropriate assembly drawing for type C 500 VAN available?
3. Does the operating voltage of the C 500 VAN correspond to that of the vehicle?
4. Do you intend to install a false floor (raised wear floor)?
5. Check the supporting strap (25 mm of free space available between platform and strap).
6. Always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's assembly instructions.
PREPARATORY WORK ON THE VEHICLE
Remove any spare wheels and their retainers that may be mounted under the vehicle tail. Dismount
any towing coupling, towing hook or climbing aids that may be present at the vehicle tail. Replace
special bumpers having integrated climbing aids with standard bumpers.
Remove the vehicle license plate from the rear doors and re-attach it in a location that will be visible
after assembly of the MBB C 500 VAN (observe the national regulations pertaining to the license
plate location).
Install the delivered link bridge in the vehicle. Place the link bridge directly behind the vehicle's
closed rear doors. If required, adapt the link bridge width. Fasten the link bridge to the vehicle floor
using the delivered screws.
PREPARATORY WORK ON THE VEHICLE CHASSIS (VEHICLES WITH HOLLOW SECTION
CHASSIS)
The C 500 VAN is delivered with vehicle-specific consoles and has to be assembled using the
enclosed assembly kit. Use any existing base on the vehicle chassis (e.g. towing coupling retainer)
for fastening. Drill additional holes in the vehicle chassis frame in the locations where fastening
points are provided in the console. Weld the corresponding tubes of the enclosed assembly kit into
the van's hollow section chassis in flush position on both sides. When drilling, make sure that the
console is assembled in parallel with the vehicle's main chassis beams. The tubes are used to
prevent deformation of the hollow section chassis.
PREPARATORY WORK ON THE VEHICLE CHASSIS (VEHICLES WITH CHANNEL SECTION
CHASSIS)
The C 500 VAN is delivered with vehicle-specific consoles and has to be assembled using the
enclosed assembly kit. Use any existing base on the vehicle chassis (e.g. towing coupling retainer)
for fastening. Drill additional holes in the locations where fastening points are provided in the
console.
NOTE
Special tools like coil testers, pressure gauges, etc. are available from PALFINGER Tail Lifts on
request.
2. Assembling the lifting platform
1.
Assemble the vehicle-specific consoles using the enclosed assembly kit.
2.
Lift the pre-assembled lifting device under the vehicle using the appropriate hoist and use the delivered
hexagon head screws M 14 (6 pieces) to screw it to the consoles.
When doing so, mount the screws from inside to outside. On the tilt cylinder side, initially fit 2 screws
with the tilt cylinder retracted. Fit the third screw with the tilt cylinder extended.
CAUTION!
The lifting device may swivel down as there is not yet enough oil in the lift cylinder.
4.
Lift the torsion frame using the appropriate hoist until reaching the loading floor level with lift arm
contour.
CAUTION!
Be aware of interfering contours while lifting
5.
Adjust and fix the height stops of the lifting device at the support tube. Important: Make sure that both
height stops are at the same level.
Otherwise, the lifting device may be damaged (see illustration on right side).
6.
Then bolt the platform to the lift arms. The platform is to be installed vertically behind the vehicle.
Secure the pin with the tabs using the M12 screw provided and tighten to a torque of 75Nm.
