INTRODUCTION
If anyone observes improper installation, improper operation, or damage, they should immediately
contact a qualified person for assistance and correction. We strongly urge anyone that has any
questions or doubts as to the installation, condition, use, operation, maintenance or repair of the liftgate
to contact us at Waltco where we have qualified personnel that will be happy to assist you. Telephone
numbers and addresses of these locations are listed in the Owners Manual and Installation Instructions.
INSTALLATION
Waltco liftgates should only be installed by those with sufficient basic skills to understand the
installation and operation of the liftgate, along with the equipment on which the liftgate is being
installed. Waltco’s installation instructions are not intended to give rationale for all the instructions that
are given; however, it is the intent of these instructions to give the installer both the operations and
what we believe to be the most desirable sequence of implementing these operations. These
instructions can in no way expand into an area where they will replace a qualified person, or clear
thinking and a basic knowledge that must be possessed by the installer.
It has been our experience that a knowledgeable journeyman following these instructions and
observing the operation of the liftgate will have a sufficient comprehension of the liftgate to enable this
person to troubleshoot and correct all normal problems that may be encountered.
Failure to follow the installation instructions, adjustments and mounting dimensions may result in
improper and unsafe operation of the liftgate. Unauthorized alterations of the liftgate can cause an
undesirable and dangerous condition.
OWNERS MANUAL
The Waltco Owners Manual is intended to act as a guide for operation and routine maintenance but
is no way intended to encourage usage or repair of the liftgate by those who are not qualified to do so.
The contents of the owners manual include, but are not limited to general operation instructions,
routine lubrication, parts lists, and an outline of things that should be checked but may not be obvious
to those not technically qualified. This manual assumes the liftgate is properly installed, undamaged
and operates correctly. Improper installation, improper operation, or damage should be immediately
corrected by a qualified person.
INSPECTION
As part of the regular inspection of a liftgate and after damage or suspicion of an overload, inspect
for wear or structural damage and make necessary repairs or replacements. Check all structural
components and their attachment to the liftgate for cracked welds, wear and part deformation. Check
cylinder and hose for leaks. Inspections and repairs should be made by a qualified mechanic.
REPLACEMANT PARTS
Use only Waltco original equipment replacement parts. Components of other liftgate manufacturers
may outwardly appear to be the same but are not interchangeable with Waltco products. Waltco
components are specifically designed for safety requirements, reliability and compatibility with our
products. Refer to your Waltco parts manual when ordering parts. NOTE: When ordering, give model
and serial number of liftgate.
DECALS
It is important that every vehicle that has a WALTCO Liftgate have legible DECALS clearly posted on
the vehicle and an OWNER’S MANUAL in the vehicle at all times as a guide for proper operation and
maintenance.
Additional DECALS and OWNER’S MANUALS can be obtained from WALTCO TRUCK
EQUIPMENT COMPANY.
80101388 Rev 01
Chapter 1
Safety Information
The following safety information must be read before operating Waltco liftgates.
Read and understand the Owner’s Manual and all decals on liftgate before operating
liftgate.
Do not operate liftgate without a thorough knowledge and understanding of the operation of
the liftgate.
Liftgate hazards can result in crushing or falling
This liftgate is designed for loading and unloading of cargo. If personnel are required to ride
liftgate, observe and familiarize yourself with the liftgate operation, decals and manuals.
Ensure stable footing at all times
Do not ride liftgate with unstable loads.
Keep hands and feet clear of all potential pinch points.
Do not attempt any repairs unless you are qualified to do so. Care should be taken when
work is performed on a disabled liftgate located near moving traffic. When possible the
vehicle should be moved away from traffic areas for repair. Precautionary measures should
be taken to ensure personal safety including those recommended in Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards 571.125.
NEVER OVERLOAD LIFTGATE
Refer to the Explanation of Specification Tag in the Liftgate Terminology chapter for liftgate
capacity rating.
Never use liftgate if it makes any unusual noise, has unusual vibration, raises or lowers
unevenly, or fails to operate smoothly.
Never use liftgate if it shows any signs of structural damage such as cracked welds, bent or
distorted members.
For liftgates with Runners, never use liftgate if Runners do not travel freely and smoothly.
All protective covers, guards, and safety devices must be in place and access doors closed
before operating liftgate.
Make certain the Platform area, including the area in which loads may fall, is clear before
and at all times during the operation of the liftgate.
For liftgates with Roller Lifting Chain, the Chain should be replaced every (5) five years or
15,000 cycles, whichever comes first. Replace only with Waltco approved Roller Chain.
A Lock-Out device or Shut-Off Switch should always be used to prevent unauthorized use
of liftgate.
Never transfer loads which exceed lifting capacity on or over any part of the Platform
unless the liftgate is equipped with a special reinforced Platform and Platform Support Bars
for use when the Platform is used as loading ramp (dock board). Refer to the “Using
Platform as a loading ramp” Chapter in the Operation Instructions of the BZ/RZ series
Owner’s Manual.
Platform is always to be properly stored and secured for transit. See the Owner’s Manual
for details.
For liftgates equipped with Trailer Hitches, never exceed the rated capacity of the hitch. Do
not exceed the vehicle’s weight rating. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

Safety Information
Take care to retain cargo during transit for liftgate Platforms which function as the tailgate
or door of the cargo area. Small objects can fall through the space between the vehicle and
the folded Platform.
Vehicle must comply with all state and federal standards.
Follow the “Maintenance Guide” chapter in the Owner’s Manual.
Liftgates with Tilt Function
Proper use of the Control Switches is of extreme importance.
Improper use of Tilt Switch could cause load to fall from the Platform or damage the liftgate.
Platform should be in a generally horizontal position when raising or lowering with a load.
In any tilt position, the Platform may vary from level while raising or lowering the Platform.
Liftgates equipped with spring operated Cam Closer
Replace Cam Release Spring every five (5) years or 15,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
RGL
Make certain Platform Brake mechanisms are operating properly.
The Runners are always to remain powered up against the Upstops Pins when in transit.
Inspect Cables every three (3) months or 750 cycles, whichever comes first. Cables must
be replaced if they show signs of wear, distortion, kinking or if any broken wires are visible
Replace cables every five (5) years or 10,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
