Initial Platform Lowering
12. Initial Platform Lowering
1. Fill the pump reservoir with an approved fluid up to
within 1/2" from the top of the reservoir. Refer to the
approval chart Figure 39.
2. Turn the master disconnect switch and circuit breaker
to the on position.
3. Push the control station toggle switch to the up posi-
tion to activate the pump. This will allow the pump to
fill the hoses and cylinders with oil.
4. Release the switch, then refill pump reservoir to within
1/2" from the top of the reservoir.
5. Remove all cylinder lock straps from the cylinder pins.
There will be one cylinder lock strap per cylinder
(Figure 40).
6. Support the platform from underneath, and remove the
temporary brackets that have been holding the
platform in position that were installed in Section 6
(Figure 13).
7. Remove the supports from underneath.
8. Push the control station toggle to the down position
and lower the platform to the ground.
9. Check the fluid level in the pump reservoir with the
platform in the lowered position. If necessary fill the
pump reservoir to within 1/2" from the top of the res-
ervoir.
10. Raise and lower the platform several times to check
the operation of the unit.
11. With the platform in the up position use the platform
adjusting bolts to establish an incline of 1" - 2" from
platform base to platform tip (Figure 41).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the hydraulic hoses do not in-
terfere with the moving parts. Also ensure
that the hoses do not stretch or kink while
the liftgate is in operation.
12. Fold the platform in accordance with the operating
instructions and check the clearances under the vehi-
cle during the complete travel until the liftgate is fully
stored.
