Important Information
Before Getting Started
“READ FIRST”
The ILP liftgate is a heavy duty industrial hydraulic lifting device. Performance and reliability are
closely related to proper installation, battery cable connections, and grounding. All grounding
surfaces MUST be cleaned, prepped, and sealed per this ma
nual. “Cut to size” cables MUST be
properly crimped and sealed as factory supplied. All connections MUST be dressed with dielectric
grease or equivalent sealer.
Review liftgate invoice, packing slip, and installation drawing to assure delivery of correct gate and
complete delivery of accessories and optional equipment.
Refer to Section 8 and verify that the truck/trailer has sufficient bed height and mount clearance for the
selected gate. Keep in mind that the truck/trailer can settle several inches depending on suspension,
over hang, addition of equipment and loading.
1. If the minimum bed height is not maintained the gate will not fold or unfold
2. If the maximum bed height is exceeded the gate may not reach the ground
Read and understand the “Installation Manual” and “Owner’s Manual” in their entirety before starting
the installation.
Refer to your truck manufacturer’s instructions before adding any auxiliary equipment.
