NOTE: If there is not adequate clearance between the bumper and the platform frame, you may need to install an end support bracket. Remove the Back- packer from the van and install the end support bracket close to the rear door opening. Reinstall the lift into the van, making sure that the bolts protrud- ing from the bottom plate of the Backpacker closest to the van door snap into the tapped holes on the top of the end support bracket, then repeat steps 13 through 18.

NOTE: It may be required to trim the rear inside sill to achieve the adequate platform clearance with the platform under load.

20.Drape the Y-strap over the platform and secure the lock assembly to the lift platform. See figure 4.

21.Fully tighten all mounting hardware throughout the lift system once the unit has been centered and all re- quired clearances have been achieved.

22.Run the Backpacker through an entire lift cycle. Lower the platform to the ground and then raise the platform to the fully stowed position in the van. See IV. “Operation.”
