Liftgate Operation Instructions
7. Unfolding the Platform
IMPORTANT: There are two different travel latch
options: The HOOK option or the CHAIN
option. Determine which option you
have before proceeding.
7.1 Travel Hook Option
1. Stand clear of the liftgate, and using the control station,
raise the stowed platform until the latch pins disengage
from the hooks (Figure 12).
2. Rotate the lock handle to allow the latch pins to clear
the travel latch hooks, and while holding the handle,
lower the platform until clear of the travel latch hooks
(Figure 13).
3. Continue lowering the unit until the liftgate firmly
contacts the ground.
NOTE: Some TL liftgates have an optional foot pedal
opener installed as shown in Figure 18. If the
liftgate you are operating has the foot pedal
option, skip to Section 8 Foot Pedal Opener
Operation.
Failure to ensure stable footing while
engaging the foot pedal could result
in slipping which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
4. Grasp the platform to rotate it down. As the platform
starts to rotate, step back to allow the platform to fall
into a horizontal position (Figure 14).
Failure to keep feet clear of platform
during operation could create a crush
and/or pinch hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
5. While standing clear and to the side, grasp the flip
over section and rotate it allowing it to fall into a
horizontal position.
