TAILGATE ADJUSTMENT
V62 TAILGATE LEVELING
If the tailgate is not sitting level against the hopper it can be leveled by loosening the
3
/
8
inch bolts that hold the
pivot bracket to the upper lift arms then rotate the pivot brackets until tailgate level then tighten. Once it is level it
must be readjusted using steps 1, 2 and 3.
V62 TAILGATE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Open tailgate approximately 10 inches and shut off engine. Locate the 3 /
8
inch bolts that connect the
lower lift arm to the tailgate (Connected by springs). Loosen them about 1½ turns.
2. Find at top corners of the tailgate the 1 /
2
inch bolt that connects the upper lift arms to the tailgate. Loosen
both sides then push the tailgate in towards the hopper. The bolts will slide in the slots of the brackets on
the end of the lift arms when pushed tight against the hopper. Tighten the outside nut just tight enough to
hold it from moving in the slot, repeat on other side. (Do not over tighten).
3. Start the machine move the valve handle to the lower position and close the tailgate, as the tailgate comes
in contact with the hopper it will push the top of the tailgate outward in the slots in the top lift arm as the
bolts slide outward in the slots. As the bolts slide outward in the slots the tailgate will also glide down-
ward approximately ½ inch. Check to see that the tailgate fits tight against the hopper. Then tighten the
nuts together on both of the top corners of the tailgate using two ¾ inch wrenches. Then tighten the nuts
on the
3 /
8
inch bolts on the lower sides of the tailgate using two 9 /
16
inch wrenches.
