14 Latch Pin Installation
NOTE:
When welding is required, ensure that the
battery ground cable is disconnected and
that all electrical equipment is completely
electrically isolated before welding is
initiated.
Failure to isolate electrical equipment
from ground prior to welding could
result in overload which, if not avoided,
may result in property damage.
1. Once the installers have satisfied themselves that the
installation is proper, sound, and safe, the liftgate is to
be fitted with two latch pins for safety in the storage
position.
2. With the liftgate in the folded and fully raised, position
and weld the roadside and curbside latch pins per
figures 44 and 45 (Figures 43 & 44).
