Use and Care Manual

1)First, the tailgate is placed on the ground, and measure the approximate
position of the hook on the tailgate. In most cases, L is between 20 inches
and 35 inches.
Warning! The greater the L, the greater the force.
The spring or cables will probably be broken when
L>37 inches.
2) Secure and lock your tailgate in the upright position.
3) Attach an S-Hook to the looped end of each cable.
Raise cables just enough to take the slack out of each
and (using the S-Hooks) attach each of them to the
mesh on both sides of the tailgate, doing so as close
to the outer side support angles/tube as possible. As
Fig 5-1. (S-Hooks are for installation purposes only,
NOT for permanent use!)
4)To ensure the proper functioning of the Lift, slowly lower the tailgate
halfway down to the ground to check if the springs are moving freely. The
tailgate should balance out in this position and move up and down with
minimal effort. If this is not the case, return the tailgate to the upright
position, secure it there, and make adjustments A or B.
A. If there is not enough lifting power on the tailgate, raise the attachment
points using the S-Hooks on both sides of the tailgate while keeping both
attachment points at the same height. This will help balance the tailgate at
