WARNING

 Recommended practices for welding on steel parts are contained in the current 

Welding Society) D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel. Damage to Liftgate and/or vehicle, and

personal injury can result from welds that are done incorrectly.

 Welding on galvanized parts gives off especially hazardous fumes. Comply with WARNING decal

NOTICE

 Maxon Lift is responsible for the instructions to correctly install MAXON Liftgates on

trucks or trailers only.

 Liftgate installers, not Maxon Lift, are responsible for reviewing and complying with all

applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations pertaining to the trailer or truck.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Comply with all WARNING and instruction decals attached to the Liftgate.

 Keep decals clean and legible. If decals are illegible or missing, replace them. Free replacement

decals are available 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 ames 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 rst aid. If acid gets on your

skin, immediately wash it off with soap and water.

 If an emergency situation arises (vehicle or Liftgate) while operating the Liftgate, release the con-

trol switch to stop the Liftgate.

 Read and understand the instructions in this Installation Manual before installing Liftgate.

 Before operating the Liftgate, read and understand the operating instructions in Operation

Manual.

 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 and lowered. Listen for

scraping, grating and binding noises and correct the problem before continuing to operate Liftgate.

 Installers of the liftgate should ensure that all trucks and trailers are equipped with grab

handles as needed.
