thERMal data:
To avoid overheating the motor do not operate this unit for more than 8
cycles/10 minutes with the maximum load. The motor then must be allowed to completely cool
down to ambient temperature before cycling the lift again. This unit also has a 15% duty cycle,
which means the liftgate can be cycled no more than 3 cycles/10 minutes constantly with a
maximum load.
MaintEnanCE guidE
The following inspection and maintenance operations should be performed at the recommended
intervals or anytime the liftgate shows signs of abuse, and improper or abnormal operation.
MonthlY insPECtion and MaintEnanCE
Operate the liftgate throughout its entire operational cycle and check the following:
1. Check that there are no unusual noises or vibrations.
2. Check platform height relative to bed height. If platform is lower, adjust cylinder with a
13/16 wrench to obtain the necessary height.
3. Check for apparent damage to the liftgate such as bent or distorted members, any cracked
welds that may have resulted from overloading or abuse.
4. Check for excessive wear in the following pivot areas (Note: For bushed pivots, if the gap
between pin and bushing exceeds 1/32 of an inch, the bushing should be replaced. For
pivots without bushings, replace worn components if gap between pin and pivot exceeds
1/32 of an inch. Refer to parts breakdown in this manual):
A. Platform hinge pins, bushings and extension pivots
B. Cylinder pins, bushings and clevis
C. Pins and bushings joining lift arm and idler arms to trunnion, platform and pivot bar.
D. kicker arm pins, bushing, white nylon roller, etc.
E. Stow pins.
5. Check that the platform pivot pins are in place and retained by their proper retainers.
6. Check that all protective covers and guards are properly in place and secured.
7. Check painted finish, if in poor condition, then repaint. Any rusted parts should be replaced.
8. Check condition of non-painted parts, replace if corrosion exists.
9. Check snubbers, while platform is in stored position, to make sure they are bearing down
on platform. If not, they should be replaced.
10.Check for oil leaks in these areas:
A. Lift cylinder
B. hydraulic hose-replace if it shows signs of wear or cracking.
C. hydraulic fittings-tighten or replace as may be required to stop leakage.
