6.3 GETTING STARTED
OEM Vehicle manufacturers may have issued important instructions on various aspects of the tail lift installation, specific to the
brand and type of chassis, such as welding instructions (or prohibition to weld!); instructions on chassis drilling and bolt-on
connections to the chassis; recommendations on the use of hydraulic stabilizing legs; guidelines for the battery and ground cable
connections; fuses and other electrical interfaces; etc...
NOTICE
The installer MUST verify and ensure compatibility between the tail lift and the vehicle.
The installer MUST verify and ensure compliance with the installation instructions issued by the vehicle and body
manufacturer.
Improper modifications to the vehicle chassis or body could cause serious mechanical failure of the vehicle. The installer MUST
ensure that modifications to the vehicle chassis and / or body will not adversely affect the structural integrity of the chassis and
/ or body.
In the event instructions of vehicle manufacturer conflict with the installation instructions issued by DHOLLANDIA (e.g. on fuse
ratings, etc.), contact your national DHOLLANDIA distributor for further assistance.
In the event OEM instructions conflict with the installation instructions issued by DHOLLANDIA (e.g fuse ratings, etc.) contact
DHOLLANDIA US. See page 5 for contact info.
Place vehicle on a flat even ground and chock the wheels so that it cannot move during the installation process. In case of a
motor vehicle, switch off the engine and engage the parking brake before starting.
Verify the installation kit is complete, and that all parts needed to correctly fit the tail lift are present.
Compare the voltage of the vehicle batteries with the voltage of the hydraulic pump unit of the tail lift.
Compare the installation dimensions and maximum installation parameters indicated in the installation drawing with the actual
dimensions of the vehicle, to verify compliance. (See next chapter).
Verify if the vehicle chassis and body are strong enough to support the load and moment created by the tail lift at maximum rated
capacity. Refer to the Body Builder Guidelines of the OEM vehicle manufacturer for details.
Check the stability of the vehicle and the weight over the axles with the addition of a tail lift loaded to maximum capacity. The
weights indicated in the technical documentation and price list are theoretical and approximate and may vary from one tail lift
installation to another.
Make sure that the body is accurately fitted to the vehicle chassis.
Remove all objects that are mounted in the mounting space required by the tail lift (RUP, spare wheel carrier, pallet racks, tool
boxes, etc.). If necessary, consult with the OEM vehicle manufacturer for replacement solutions (e.g. special spare wheel carriers,
exhaust pipe modifications, etc.).
Finish the tail lift in compliance with applicable road legislation of the country where the vehicle will be registered.
When connecting hydraulic fittings, make sure that the connections are thoroughly clean, and that you don’t contaminate the
hydraulic oil.
Grease all bearings and pins before putting the tail lift into service. It is recommended to grease all articulation bearings before
mounting the corresponding articulation pin.
After installation, work through the pre-delivery inspection (PDI) checklist, verify all check points with due diligence. Make sure
the final inspection is signed off by an inspector who is not part of the installation team.

15
DHOLLANDIA
Do not pressurize any tail lift functions (LIFT / LOWER) before the tail lift installation is fully finished.
During installation and while testing, verify that the tail lift and its moving parts don’t interfere with, or cause damage to the vehicle
systems (e.g. to suspension, braking system, hydraulic and electrical circuits, etc.).
Do not release the locking bolts of the auto-tilt brackets on the lift frame before the tail lift installation is fully finished.

Compare the installation dimensions and maximum installation parameters indicated in above mentioned sources with the
actual dimensions of the vehicle, to verify compliance.
Verify that the actual vehicle dimensions comply with the max. vehicle bed height VFH MAX, and with the min. / max. mounting
heights MFT.
Determine the applicable mounting height MFT. This dimension is given on the installation drawing, or can be calculated as
follows:
Ex. For vehicle with 1250mm bed height:
Fitting height MFT = (1250 - 140)/2 = 555mm
You might want to deviate from the initial mounting height MFT. Examples:
1. In order to increase the ground clearance MPG, you could choose to fit the tail lift higher above ground
2. In case of short mounting space LOF / LOP, you could choose to fit tail lift lower to the ground
3. To comply with RUP regulations, you could choose to fit tail lift higher above or lower to the ground.
