Read and clearly understand manual BEFORE beginning ANY work Important!!! The basic rule of PALFINGER Liftgates ILK installation is to raise mount frame to achieve MAXIMUM ground clearance WITHOUT exceeding Min “F” dimension. Refer to mounting tables and determine the proper [S] dimension. If the sill is greater than what’s allowed, the sill has to be notched and capped to achieve original strength.
