Palfinger MBB F 1000 SH Assembly Instructions

1. Checking before assembly
1. Have the items been delivered according to your order?
2. Is the appropriate assembly drawing for the corresponding MBB tail lift type available?
3. Does the MBB tail lift's operating voltage correspond to that of the vehicle?
4. If an assembly proposal has been provided by MBB, check the correctness, the vehicle
dimensions and the assembly drawing.
5. Do you intend to install a false floor (raised wear floor)?
If yes, install the platform and rear profile in a higher position.
6. For folding in/out at least 25 mm finger room must be provided between platform and rear profile
bottom edge.
7. When using a truck with a trailer, make sure that the trailer's drawbar can move freely.
8. Always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's assembly instructions.
Preparatory work on the vehicle chassis
If required, install an auxiliary frame. See the vehicle manufacturer's assembly instructions.
Prepare the vehicle chassis and auxiliary frame acc. to the assembly drawing and assembly
proposal provided by MBB.
Note!
Special tools like assembly device, assembly gauge, coil testers, pressure gauges etc. are
available from MBB on request.
3. Mounting the tail lift with mounted platform
1. Bolt the platform with the lifting device (without tilt cylinder).
2. As an auxiliary unit, place two appropriate straight beams in the ready load area, between the lift
arms and the vehicle inside wall, align them and fasten them reliably. The auxiliary unit should
protrude to the rear, matching at least the platform height.
NOTICE! Fall hazard! Auxiliary units must carry the entire lifting device with platform.
3. Lift the MBB tail lift under the vehicle tail using the appropriate hoist, lift the platform under the
auxiliary unit and align it with the vehicle body. The platform front edge must be flush with the rear
wall apron (see also the corresponding assembly drawing).
4. Securely fasten the platform to the auxiliary unit, e.g. using sufficiently stable c-clamps and,
additionally protect them against falling down, e.g. with supports.
5. Place the support tube at the height position specified in the assembly drawing. Provide for
sufficient clearance height and free travel of all components. Turn the support tube in such a way
that the underrun bumper is in parallel with the body.
It is recommended to use the adjustment gauge shown in the assembly drawing.
Note:
Between the rear profile bottom edge and the top edge of the platform moving to the
vehicle's driving position at least 25 mm free finger space must be provided.
Mount the MBB tail lift to the vehicle chassis frame using the consoles acc. to the MBB assembly
drawing and the vehicle manufacturer's assembly instructions.
