⚠ WARNING Always use care when you are around your lift. When it is in a lowered position, be

lift arms or the vehicle.
When you are raising or lowering a vehicle, keep
all people, animals, and objects at least 30 feet away
from the lift.
Lift Operation Safety
Do the following before you raise or lower a vehicle using your lift:
• Check the lift. Check the lift for any missing, heavily worn, or damaged parts. Do not operate
the lift if you find any issues; instead, take it out of service, contact your dealer, email
techsupport@bendpak.com or call (800) 253-2363.
• Check the area. Keep the area around the lift clean and free of obstructions; anything that could
cause a problem for the lift. Do not forget to check
above
the lift. If you find an obstruction, move
it out of the way. Do not allow any people or animals within 30 feet of the lift while it is in motion.
• Check the operators. Make sure that everyone who is going to operate the lift has been trained
in its use, has read the labels on the unit, and has read the manual. Only the operator at the
console should be within 30 feet of the lift when it is in motion. Do not allow children to operate the
lift. Do not allow anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol to operate the lift.
• Check for safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the lift is aware of its
presence and takes appropriate safety measures. Only put vehicles on the arms.
When raising
a vehicle on the lift, do not leave it until it is positioned on a Safety Lock
. When
lowering the lift, do not leave it until it is on the ground.
• Check the vehicle. Never exceed the lift’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a vehicle
you are going to raise. Make sure the vehicle is not overbalanced on either end. Make sure you
know the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points for the vehicle. Never raise just one side, one
corner, or one end of a vehicle.
