7. Liftgate Installation
Position of Deck Extension
NOTE:
DO NOT work underneath the liftgate without
properly supporting the raised platform and lift frame
in accordance with workplace safety requirements.
Failure to properly support the raised
platform and lift frame may result in the
liftgate collapsing which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
1. Unfold the platform and flip over
(Figure 13)
.
2. Tack weld two temporary 2"x 2"x 3/16"x 38"
(50 x 50 x 4 x 965 mm) angle brackets to the deck
extension with 18" (457 mm) of overhang. These
brackets will help maintain alignment
(Figure 14)
.
NOTE:
When welding is required, ensure that the battery
ground cable is disconnected and that all electrical
equipment is completely electrically isolated
before welding is initiated.
Failure to isolate electrical equipment
from ground prior to welding could
result in overload which, if not avoided,
could result in property damage.
3. Wrap a chain around the platform and attach the chain
to a hoist with adequate capacity. Attach a “C”-clamp
on both the roadside and curbside of the platform
to ensure a chain does not slide out from under the
platform
(Figure 15)
.
Failure to wrap the chain around the
platform may result in dropping the
liftgate which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
