Support frame

1. Measure and mark the midpoint of the rear beam
of the vehicle. See illustration.
2. Bolt or spot-weld the mounting jig to the rear beam,
so that both mid-points are aligned. See Image 12.
Art. no. 51724 for ZHD 2500
3. Position the support frame under the vehicle chassis.
4. Temporarily connect the control card to enable the
lift functions, see section "7 Temporary operation
of lift" on page 33.
5. Raise the lift arms to their highest position.
6. Attach the lift arms to the eye of the jig. Use the
steel platform's normal bolts.
7. The support frame should be positioned as high as
possible within the specified C dimension. Adjust
the frame to the ideal height under the chassis.
A workshop jack is useful. The frame must be
positioned parallel with the floor of the vehicle
body and must not be in contact with the vehicle
chassis; there must be a few millimetres of play. If
necessary adjust the angle of the arms by carefully
operating the lift.
8. Install the brackets on the support frame so that its
opening is facing towards the front of the vehicle,
and adjust the position of the frame so they are in
contact with the vehicle chassis.
9. Install the U-profile with associated washers and
nuts, but do not tighten these. Screw on the nuts
alternately until the U-profile is aligned in contact
with the frame, see Image 14.
