Adjusting opening height
You can adjust how far the liftgate is to open.
When adjusting the opening height, make
sure that at least approx. 4 in/10 cm of
clearance is available above the liftgate. Otherwise,
the ceiling height could be insufficient for
the opened liftgate if, for example, the loading
state changes.<
