Check the platform and fl ipover as follows. Unfold
the platform and fl ipover. Raise the platform to
vehicle bed height and then lower it to the ground.
Check if the shackles and tip of fl ipover touch the
ground at the same time (FIG. 11-1). With the
shackles touching, tip of a ramp-style fl ipover may
be no more than 1/4” above the ground. A fl ipover
equipped with retention ramp may have a maximum
2” of ground clearance at the tip of the fl ipover.
Visually check the entire Liftgate for excessively worn
parts and broken welds, especially hinge pins. See
PARTS BREAKDOWN section for replacement parts.

ment does not correct the problem, check pins and
bearings at the pivot points on both sides of the
Liftgate (see FIG. 11-3). See PARTS BREAK-
