The full bed weighs approximately 147.5 kg
(325 lb), so do not try to install or remove it by
yourself. Use an overhead hoist or get the help
of two or three other people.

hydraulic lift lock lever on the vehicle to prevent
accidental extension of the lift cylinders.

easier to install them before installing the bed on the vehicle.
Note: Ensure that the rear pivot plates are bolted to the bed
frame/channel so that lower end angles to the rear (Figure 31).
