stow bars on platform are aligned with the resting plate slots. Inspect alignment with
stow bars raised completely out of resting plate slots (See figure 4A). If they are out
of alignment, put the platform in the stored position. Raise platform slightly, so that
stow bars are not sitting on the bottom of the resting plate slot, so there is tension in
chains (See figure 4B). Then, unloosen screws on the adjustment angles and move
angles so they are tight against the vertical platform. Once angles are adjusted,
tighten screws. Be sure to do this for both sides. Repeat inspection of stow bar
alignment and readjust if necessary. Failure to keep stow bars aligned with resting
plate slots can result in excessive wear of stow bars and resting plates.

Thieman recommends that the installer perform a weight test of the liftgate to check
the welds or mounting bolts and the structural integrity of the body or frame of the
truck or trailer. The load used should be the maximum weight rating of the particular
liftgate with the weight centrally located on the platform. A minimum of 20 cycles
should be made to insure the integrity of the mounting.
Step 20
If applying a finished coat of paint, mask off the openings in the vertical frame rails so
that no paint gets inside, where the I-beam sliders track up and down. WARNING:
OVERSPRAY IN RAILS CAN GET EMBEDDED IN NYLON WEAR PADS ON
SLIDERS, WHICH CAN CAUSE LIFTGATE TO NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY. When
painting, carefully grease or mask fittings and exposed portion of the piston rod.
Finish paint as required and remove the pre-mask on decals already applied by
Thieman. Apply decals from installation kits in the appropriate locations as shown.
The decals MUST be applied or all warranties are VOID!
