2. PLATFORM FOLDING LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
The front portion of the platform is connected to the rear portion with a hinge. The front portion is folded with link-
ages located at the right and left sides of the platform. The length of the linkage might require adjustment after in-
stallation of the lift or after disassembly of the platform.
NOTE:
Perform the PLATFORM TILT ADJUSTMENT procedure (in previous section) before adjusting the linkage.
a. Deploy and lower the platform to a position about halfway between floor level and ground level.
b. Refer
to
Figure 2-16
. Loosen the jam nuts (right and left sides) and use the adjusters to set the length of
the linkages so that the front and rear portions are in the same plane; the two surfaces of the platform por-
tions must be flat without any apparent folding along the hinge. Verify that the tension of both linkages is
the same by sighting along outer edge of the platform (arrow in figure). Tighten jam nuts.

c. Lower platform until it settles on the ground. Verify that a slight amount of slack is present in both linkages.
If either linkage is under tension, repeat steps a and b.
