2 Important Notes
2.1 Attention
Before starting any operations of the liftgate, please read and understand this OWNER’S MANUAL. Its
intention is to act as a guide for the operation personal as well as to give help with preventive maintenance
but does not take place of unauthorized usage or repair by unqualified personnel.
Please contact your nearest PALFINGER Liftgates distributor or PALFINGER Liftgates in California or New
Jersey for assistance if you have questions regarding installation, operation or maintenance.
This owner’s manual applies to the following models: ILUK Under Slider 33, 44, 55 & 60
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury.
The platform folded in half is supported by two arms, linked with a torsion tube. The platform in a stored
position acts as the under ride guard. Lifting actions are carried out by hydraulic cylinders mounted on the
lift arms.
Two hydraulic tilt cylinders, one on each side of the lift arms are controlling the platform’s tilting action. This
enables the platform to maintain its position throughout the lift mode, regardless of the terrain.
The hydraulic cylinders are equipped with solenoid operated valves located at the port of each cylinder
which prevents the platform from lowering accidently unless the operator is activating the controls. This
system also enables you to store the lift gate without a separate platform latch.
The piston rods are treated against corrosion and also protected with plastic or rubber boots to protect from
road gravel and dirt. The HPU is equipped with a built-in pressure relief valve, which prevents overloading
when lifting or tilting up.
Rev.1.5 6
ILUK 33/44/55/60 Owner’s Manual
The valves do not prevent overloading of the platform when lowering or tilting down.
The electric supply is taken from the vehicle battery. If the vehicle battery is not sufficient or not existing (like
on trailer units), an auxiliary battery kit needs to be installed. The electric control power is protected via a 20
Amp fuse and an on-off switch. The switch has L.E.D. lights indicating when the control power is on. (Trailer
application have an on-off switch located in the lockable control box).
The liftgate is operated from an outside control box which is located on the curbside underneath the body. A
standard 2-button hand held remote control is also supplied with the lift. Foot controls are standard (except
for the ILUK 33), which enables the operator to handle the cargo and operate the lift by foot. A variety of
different products can be purchased with the PALFINGER Liftgate as well.
ONE-MAN OPERATION!
Never let an “outsider” operate the liftgate while you are handling the cargo.
A “misunderstanding” can result in serious personal injury.
In the interest of safety it is important that all operating personnel properly understand the functions
of the lift gate, possible hazards, dangers, the load limits and load positioning for that specific unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Before the operator uses the lift gate, they should be thoroughly familiar with the lift’s functions and
usage according to the following:
1. Improper operation of this lift can result in serious personal injury. Do not operate unless you have
been properly instructed, have read and are familiar with the operation instructions. If you do not
have a copy of the instructions please obtain them from your employer, distributor or lessor, as
appropriate, before you attempt to operate the lift.
2. Be certain the vehicle is properly and securely stopped before using the lift.
Rev.1.5 7
ILUK 33/44/55/60 Owner’s Manual
3. Always inspect this lift for maintenance or damage before using it. If there are signs of improper
maintenance, damage to vital parts or slippery platform surface, do not use the lift. Do not attempt
your own repairs unless you are specifically trained.
4. Do not overload. See the Rating Label on the unit for the rated load. Remember that this limit
applies to both raising and lowering operations.
5. Each load should be placed in a stable position as near as possible to the body of the truck/trailer.
6. Never stand in, move through or allow anyone else to stand in or move through the area in which the
lift operates, including that area in which a load might fall.
7. This is not a passenger lift. Do not ride the lift with unstable loads or in such a manner that a failure
would endanger you. The lift is not equipped with a back-up system to prevent falling cargo in the
event of a failure.
IMPROPER USE

7.2 Lubrication
Properly lubricated, the ILUK PALFINGER Liftgate will ensure longevity. Therefore, lubricate the lift at the
same time as the truck/trailer. Grease more frequently if the liftgate is heavily used. The liftgate should be
greased every 500 cycles (depending on use – estimated every 3 month).
Check the oil level in the tank. The level should be between the two marks 5 and 7 when the platform is
tilted down at ground level in stored position. Use a good quality of hydraulic fluid, ISO 32. Change oil at
least once a year, preferably in the fall before the weather gets cold. The operation of the lift gate will
accumulate condensation and some dirt which can interfere with the lift gate functions.

7.3 Checking and Changing the Oil
To check fluid:
1. To begin, lower gate to ground and tilt platform down.
2. Remove the cover from the Hydraulic Power Unit enclosure. The cover is hinged and opens to right.
3. The level of the oil should be 2“ from the top of the oil reservoir when the platform is tilted down at
ground level. If fluid is required, use a recommended fluid from the table below.
Pump and Motor Located Inside Mount Frame on the Right Side.
To change fluid:
1. Unscrew the Oil Drain Bolt and let the fluid drain out of the reservoir into an approved cointainer.
When reservoir is empty fill the reservoir up 2“ from the top of the reservoir. Change oil at least once
a year, preferable in the fall before the weather gets cold.

2. Inspect all welds and fasteners that attach the mount frame to the truck. All pins and bolts that
connect the lift arm to the mount frame and to the platform.
3. Visually inspect the hydraulic lines for damage, scratches, bending or leakage.
4. Inspect the cylinders for leakage and that the cylinder pins are secured with lock bolts.
5. Check the oil level when the platform is down at ground level. The level should fall between the
markings 5 and 7 on the tank. We recommend replacing oil after the first 1200 cycles, after that on a
yearly basis in the fall before winter begins.
6. Check for oil leakage around the power pack and inside mount tube. Tighten or replace components
if needed. If you perform work on any hydraulic components bleed the air out of the system by
operating all functions several times.
7. Check all electrical connections. Clean and protect battery terminals and check for tightness.
8. Inspect all the terminals on the solenoid-operated valves at the port of the cylinder. Lubricate the
terminals for better protection from oxidation if needed. Please check the valve block on the back of
the main tube and its connections additionally.
9. Grease all zerks on the lift gate and make sure they all take grease. Sometimes it helps to operate
the lift gate while you do this. There are 14 zerks.
10. Test all the lift gate functions, if possible with maximum loads placed according to load diagrams.
12. When performing daily checks and you find any kind of damage that can make the use of the liftgate
dangerous, it must be repaired before using. All repairs should be made by an authorized technician.
Use only original spare parts. If in doubt contact your PALFINGER Liftgates distributor or call
PALFINGER Liftgates directly.
Do not cover up any accidents or damage; it can be dangerous for you and your co-workers.
Rev.1.5 27
ILUK 33/44/55/60 Owner’s Manual
8 Troubleshooting
Dangerous injuries are possible from tools short circuiting main battery connections.
Every time you are finished troubleshooting, close the rubber cover on the curbside of the mount
frame. REINSTALL THE METAL CLAMP ON THE RUBBER COVER WHEN FINISHED.
Please change oil after working on hydraulic unit (removal of valves, opening of cylinder etc.)
There is a possibility of injury if somebody other than an authorized technician works on the electrical
system!
Injuries are possible if short circuits are caused by tools on the main battery connections.
