BODY STRENGTH
!
WARNING
Consult vehicle body manufacturer for vehicle body strength data. Make sure the
forces created by the Liftgate are within the limits prescribed by the vehicle body
manufacturer.
NOTE: Maximum operating bed height for C2 mounted on pickup body is 42” (Unloaded). Minimum bed height is 28” (Loaded).
The C2 is a body-mounted liftgate that
put forces on the side walls of truck bodies (FIG. 4-1). For correct installation,
truck bodies must be strong enough to
withstand the tension, compression and
shear forces shown in FIG. 4-1.
X= Tension on each sidewall
Y= Compression on each sidewall
Z= Shear on each sidewall

PREPARING LIFTGATE
1. Remove mounting kits shipped with liftgate.
Refer to Sheets 1, 2 and 3. Verify mounting brackets are the correct brackets for this
installation.
`
!
CAUTION
Liftgate will not stand upright without
the shipping angles. Before removing
the angles, make sure Liftgate is supported with forklift or pallet jack. Injury
& property damage could result if Liftgate falls over.
2. Support Liftgate on shipping pallet with
forklift or pallet jack. Then, unbolt shipping
angle from each column on the Liftgate
(FIG. 5-1). Save shipping angles to use for
lower mounting brackets.
