•Do not stand, or allow obstructions, under the platform when lowering the Liftgate. Be sure your
feet are clear of the Liftgate.
• Keep fingers, hands, arms, legs, and feet clear of moving Liftgate parts (and platform
edges) when operating the Liftgate.
•Disconnect Liftgate power cable from battery before repairing or servicing Liftgate.
Comply with the following WARNINGS and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS while maintaining
Liftgates. See Operation Manual for operating safety requirements.
•If it is necessary to stand on the platform while maintaining the Liftgate, keep your feet and any
objects clear of the inboard edge of the platform. Your feet or objects on the platform can become
trapped between the platform and the Liftgate housing cover.
WARNING
!
• Correctly stow platform when not in use. Extended platforms could create a hazard for
people and vehicles passing by.
•Recommended practices for welding on steel parts are contained in the current AWS (American
Welding Society) D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel. Damage to Liftgate and/or vehicle, and
personal injury could result from welds that are done incorrectly.
•Recommended practices for welding on aluminum parts are contained in the current AWS
(American Welding Society) D1.2 Structural Welding Code - Aluminum. Damage to Liftgate
and/or vehicle, and personal injury could result from welds that are done incorrectly.

•If an emergency situation arises (vehicle or Liftgate) while operating the Liftgate, release the con-
trol switch to stop the Liftgate.
•A correctly installed Liftgate operates smoothly and reasonably quiet. The only noticeable noise
during operation comes from the power unit while the platform is raised. Listen for scraping, grat-
ing and binding noises and correct the problem before continuing to operate Liftgate.
•Use only Maxon Authorized Parts for replacement parts. Provide Liftgate model and serial num-
ber information with your parts order. Order replacement parts from:

•Consider the safety and location of bystanders and location of nearby objects when operating the
Liftgate. Stand to one side of the platform while operating the Liftgate.
•Wear appropriate safety equipment such as protective eyeglasses, faceshield and clothing while
performing maintenance on the Liftgate and handling the battery. Debris from drilling and contact
with battery acid may injure unprotected eyes and skin.
•Do not allow untrained persons to operate the Liftgate.
•Be careful working by an automotive type battery. Make sure the work area is well ventilated and
there are no flames or sparks near the battery. Never lay objects on the battery that can short the
terminals together. If battery acid gets in your eyes, immediately seek first aid. If acid gets on your
skin, immediately wash it off with soap and water.
•Read and understand the instructions in this Maintenance Manual before performing mainte-
nance on the Liftgate.
•Before operating the Liftgate, read and understand the operating instructions in Operation

WARNING
!
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the pump reservoir. Refer to the CHECKING HYDRAULIC
FLUID procedure in the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE section.
Check for loose or missing nuts, bolts, covers, roll pins, screws and pins.
Check that all WARNING and instruction decals are in place and legible.
Check electrical wiring for chaffing and make sure wiring connections are tight and free
of corrosion.
Check lines and fittings for chaffing and fluid leaks. Replace if necessary.

Damaged cylinder seals and contaminated hydraulic fluid can result from paint-
ing the polished portion of the cylinder rod. To prevent damage, protect the
exposed polished portion of the cylinder rod while painting.
CAUTION
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Check that platform latch and transit hook mechanisms work correctly and no parts are
missing.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE: When pump pressurizes fluid in hydraulic system, air is bled into reservoir
through slave cylinder return line.
FIG. 15-1
Operating Liftgate, under certain conditions, with air in system could result in
damage to lift and load as well as personal injury. If lines are opened & closed
or replaced, and if power unit or cylinders are replaced, pressurize hydraulic
system before operating Liftgate with a passenger or load.

TORSION BAR REPLACEMENT & ADJUSTMENT
1. Stow platform (FIG. 16-1). Ensure
platform is latched securely. Refer
to Operation Manual for detailed
operating instructions.
Ensure platform is latched securely in stowed
position to release most tension from torsion
bar(s) and keep platform from suddenly un-
folding. Injury could result from unbolting the
torsion bar(s) under tension. When all tension
is released from torsion bar(s), platform can
unfold suddenly. Any person in the path of
opening platform could be injured.
WARNING

hold on platform. Observe If platform starts
to fold, stays partially unfolded, or starts
falling open with no restraint. Platform
should unfold slowly when released (FIG.
20-1, position 3). To increase the amount
of pull, adjust the torsion bar pin counter-
clockwise until increased tension is applied
to torsion bar (FIG. 19-1). Once the platform
is unfolded, it should lay flat (FIG. 20-1,
position 3). If platform does not lay flat,
decrease tension by removing cap screw,
lock washer and flat washers from LH
torsion bar pin (FIG. 20-2). Adjust torsion
bar pin clockwise until tension is decreased
(FIG. 20-2A).Replace cap screw, lock
washer and flat washers (FIG. 20-2)
and tighten.
